Payday HCM has launched The Payday Standard, a new referral program for accounting firms nationwide that includes payroll discounts for clients. Firms participating in the program gain access to dedicated support staff and streamlined year-end record delivery.
Why it matters
The program is designed to reduce the administrative burden on accounting practices by shifting payroll inquiries to specialists. By streamlining document flow, accounting firms can better manage client needs during the busy tax preparation season.
Referred clients receive a 10 percent discount on their first year of payroll services compared to standard rates. Participating firms receive a guaranteed response to inquiries within 90 minutes during business hours.
The players

An Albuquerque-based payroll, HR, and benefits provider founded in 1985.
The details
Accounting firms enroll in the program to outsource payroll-related questions to Payday HCM's team of 50 specialists. For firms in Albuquerque and nationwide, this arrangement simplifies tax season by ensuring payroll records and filings are delivered during the first week of January. Firms initiate referrals by contacting their dedicated representative, allowing the company to handle client payroll maintenance directly.

Accounting firms working with local Albuquerque clients can use this program to secure a 10 percent discount on payroll services for their clients. Firms should evaluate whether the 90-minute response guarantee effectively reduces their own administrative hours during tax season.
The takeaway
The Payday Standard program aims to minimize year-end administrative bottlenecks for accounting firms by offloading payroll management. Accounting firms should review their current payroll service agreements to see if the new referral discount provides a meaningful reduction in client costs.
