Exciting News!!

Dear Valued Client,

We at NPD Payroll, LLC are pleased to announce our forthcoming merger with First Global Merchant Services, which is scheduled to take place on May 1, 2012. On that date our combined firm will begin conducting business as PayHub. We will continue to operate with the same management, staff, phone number and location!

One paycheck at a time since 2000, NPD Payroll has been providing a wide range of businesses with unparalleled payroll services.  After creating a strong and successful client base, there was an increasing request for a payment processing solution that provided the same quality of service.  First Global Merchant Services was then established in 2008. From 2008 until today, First Global Merchant Services has been providing exceptional services to businesses by supplying them with a cost effective way to accept credit, debit and gift card payments. Additionally, FGMS has maintained a strong focus on educating clients on the payment processing industry.  Since 2008, NPD and First Global have been working side by side at 200 Fisher Drive Avon, CT, creating a space for businesses to have a “one-stop-shop” full of customized business solutions.

We have decided to seek a merger with First Global Merchant Services because we believe that a larger organization will allow us to provide a wider array of services to you, our valued clients. We are looking forward to being able to provide you with new services in the future that will add value to your business.  However, we want to assure you that there will also be many services that will not change:

* You will continue to work with the same people in our firm that you have in the past.

* Our fee structure will not change.

* The services that we have provided to you in the past will continue.

If you have any questions about this exciting news and what it will mean for you, please feel free to reach out to any one of us at any time.  We look forward to introducing you to our expanded team here at PayHub! We are grateful to you for your continued loyalty and trust in us.  We are confident that this merger will serve us all well. We will continue to keep you updated as we move closer to our live merger date, May 1, 2012.

Sincerely,

NPD Payroll and First Global Merchant Services

From the IRS: Hiring Employees

The IRS has provided an article on important information you need to attain and keep secure when hiring employees.

The employee's name and Social Security Number must be documented on their W-2 Form, and they should provide their Social Security Card for proof. Do not accept an ITIN in place of a social security number because an ITIN is only for employees not eligible to work in the United States and need to provide identification for tax reasons. An ITIN can be identified as a 9-digit number, beginning with the number 9. Social Security numbers have not reached beginning with the number 9 yet.

ACTION REQUIRED: IRS FORM 8821

March 19, 2012

Dear Clients, 

The Internal Revenue Service requires employers to fill out and send an updated 8821 form every three years. The 8821 form authorizes a staff member from NPD Payroll to receive, inspect, and/or communicate your company’s payroll tax information with the IRS on your behalf. 2012 starts a new three year period, and as a result NPD Payroll needs to resubmit updated 8821 forms to the IRS. Please see the attached 8821 form for your company.

*** Kindly have an owner or authorized individual sign, date, and title the form where indicated.***

Please email, fax, or mail the completed form to your payroll processor at your earliest convenience.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our office at 860-284-0152.

Thank you,

Malini, Nicolle, Lisa and Katie

Americans will be Spending more "Green" this St. Patrick's Day

This year, St. Patrick's Day falls on a Saturday, which means more Americans will be celebrating as opposed to if it were on a weekday. This is great news for bars and retailers who will be bringing in more revenue as people buy "Irish" merchandise and beverages. While you will have more freedom to have fun without worrying about going to work the next day, you need to keep an eye on how much your "fun" is costing you. There are ways to save money, and still have a good time this Saturday. One way is to make your own t-shirt! Retailers are selling thousands of "Irish", drinking, and shamrock shirts for around $30. Instead, make your own shirt for as low as $10! Throw a party at your house and avoid being overcharged at bars. There are some big St. Patrick's Day parades as well this weekend, which are free of charge and major events. New York City's parade is Saturday and South Boston's is Sunday. Both are spectacular events and won't cost you a dime to see! Your goal this weekend can be to wear more green than spend green.
