What MIP Payroll is
MIP People combines accounting, human resources, and payroll in a cloud-based solution. Payroll calculates wages across processing groups and generates accounting entries and distribution codes. HR records can track employee details, certifications, renewal dates, education, degrees, and custom fields. The HR solution supports FMLA, Veteran, and EEO reporting, plus tax-form population and e-filing for W-2, 1099, and 1095 forms. Direct Deposit can split pay across an unlimited number of bank accounts and send a NACHA-compliant file to a bank. Employee Web Services lets employees and managers enter, update, and approve timesheets and other records online. Employees can review and update benefits and deductions, while employers can apply benefit calculations to all employees with one action. MIP Cloud describes access permissions, encrypted data and communications, redundant offsite storage, and SOC compliance endorsed by AICPA. Pricing is on request. Workstation requirements list Windows 11 or 64-bit Windows 10; macOS is not supported by MIP Cloud, though it can be accessed using Microsoft Remote Desktop.
