  • Company agrees to provide accurate ID numbers and other registration information necessary for the electronic payment of payroll taxes within 30 days of employment within each jurisdiction. This includes timely execution and return of Power of Attorney (POA) and other registration forms.

If ID numbers and or applicable POA are not received within 30 days, the following fees will apply: 31-60 days $50 per payroll, 61+ days $100 per payroll. Company further agrees to absolve Accuchex of any liability resulting from a delay of transferred information.

  • Company’s said account shall be debited for the aggregate total of the taxes and UI funds and credited to Accuchex Corporation the day before the designated pay date. These dollars will be held by Accuchex Corporation until such taxes are due as mandated by federal, state, and local regulations.
  • Company hereby agrees that if sufficient funds are not so available, NSF fees will be charged and Accuchex Corporation may terminate Company from all Electronic Transfer Services effective immediately. Company will become responsible for all tax deposits and filing due then and thereafter with related penalties and interest.

  • Company will cancel any prior payroll service or leasing agency and inform them how to handle the taxes according to this documentation. Company will instruct prior processor to refund any withheld but un-deposited FUTA (federal unemployment) and SUI (state unemployment) for the current quarter.

Processor, at its option, may decide not to file Company’s payroll tax returns, pay Company’s payroll taxes or otherwise process Company’s payroll if there are any unresolved issues with any information requested by Processor or submitted by Company. Processor’s sole liability and Company’s sole remedy for Processor’s negligent failure to perform the payroll tax portion of the Service shall be (i) Processor will remit the payroll taxes received from Company to the appropriate taxing authority and (ii) Processor will reimburse Company or pay directly to the appropriate taxing authority any penalties resulting from such negligent error or omission by Processor.
  • 2. Direct Deposit

Accuchex reserves the right to select a bank of its choice to act as the Originating Depository Financial Institution (ODFI) with respect to such entries. Processor will act as transmitter for Company and will initiate Debits/Credits according to the Corporate Trade Payment Entries ("Rules").

By sending instructions in either manner, Processor agrees to use due diligence in maintaining security and confidentiality of all matters related thereto.
  • Company Responsibilities - Company agrees to make available to Processor completed payroll data no later than 1:00PM PST two business days prior to Company payroll check date.

  • Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Processor and ODFI harmless from and against any and all liability, claims and damages, including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs, based on Processor's receipt of, and action taken in connection with, information inaccurately transmitted to Processor by Company. Company shall be fully responsible for all transactions resulting from Company-authorized requests for transmissions. Company agrees to verify all Company employee data and to immediately provide to Processor any corrections to Company employee data. Company shall further hold Processor and ODFI harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, and damages, including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs, resulting from Company's failure to make sufficient funds available for credit to Processor's account to cover transmissions made by Processor upon Company's authorized instructions; provided, however that Processor shall be liable for damages resulting from Processor's own gross negligence or bad faith conduct. Processor shall not be liable to Company or Company's employees for reimbursement of Bank service fees.
  • Availability of Funds - Company agrees to immediately transfer or make available funds equal to the amount of net payroll to employees, two days prior to check date. Company's failure to comply with the time conditions of this agreement may delay the timely deposit of funds into each account. This contract relieves Accuchex of any liability for the proper execution of "Direct Deposit".
  • Processor may elect not to act on transmission of payroll data if Processor is unable to obtain proper verification satisfactory to Processor, and if Processor determines that transmission may result in losses to Processor. Delay by Processor is excused by interruption of communication facilities, strikes, emergency conditions, or other circumstances beyond its control.
