In its favor
Why people choose BeyondPay
The signal that keeps BeyondPay on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Founded and operated by CPAs, giving small businesses access to in-house tax expertise that larger SaaS platforms typically route to third-party support teams.
Operates as a regional service bureau in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, offering hands-on implementation and direct phone support for businesses that prefer local account management over self-service portals.
Acquired by CBIZ in 2020, giving existing clients access to a broader suite of financial, insurance, and advisory services under a single parent organization.
Offers enterprise-level payroll and tax-filing technology bundled with implementation services, making it accessible to businesses without dedicated HR tech staff.
Provides direct deposit, check signing, check stuffing, and internet-enabled access as bundled services rather than add-ons, simplifying vendor management for small payroll operations.
Limited self-service capabilities compared to modern cloud HCM platforms, driving churn as growing businesses require more employee and manager self-service features.
Regional focus on Mid-Atlantic states restricts usability for businesses expanding geographically or moving to states outside NJ and PA service areas.
Acquisition by CBIZ in 2020 created uncertainty about product roadmap, support continuity, and pricing direction for existing clients.
Lack of publicly documented API makes integration with modern HRIS, benefits administration, and time-tracking tools difficult, causing friction as businesses adopt broader HCM ecosystems.
Modern HCM competitors offer broader suites including recruiting, onboarding, performance management, and employee experience tools that BeyondPay does not provide.

What gets migrated
BeyondPay object support
Object-by-object support for BeyondPay migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Employees
Mapping requiredEmployee records in BeyondPay include standard biographical and employment data. We map these to the destination system's employee object, preserving hire date, job title, department, and employment status. Custom fields require schema discovery before migration.
Payroll History
Mapping requiredYear-to-date wage totals, pay period earnings, deductions, and tax withholdings are the most migration-critical data in any payroll system. We chunk exports by calendar year and load historical records before current-year data to preserve W-2 accuracy.
Tax Configurations
Mapping requiredFederal, state, and local tax codes, rates, and filing statuses configured in BeyondPay must be translated to the destination system's tax table format. NJ and PA specific codes are mapped explicitly; multi-state configurations require additional scoping.
Direct Deposit Information
Mapping requiredBank account routing and account numbers for employee direct deposit are migrated as encrypted fields. We flag any employees with multiple split deposits for manual verification before loading, as bank format requirements vary by destination.
Benefit Elections
Mapping requiredHealth, dental, vision, and retirement benefit elections and coverage levels are migrated as current-state snapshots. We note that historical benefit election changes and effective-dated transitions require a separate export scope beyond current enrollment data.
Time Tracking Data
Mapping requiredHourly employee time entries, overtime calculations, and accrual balances migrate as transaction records. We flag whether BeyondPay tracks PTO and leave accruals separately, as not all payroll platforms share the same accrual methodology.
Garnishments and Deductions
Mapping requiredCourt-ordered garnishments, voluntary deductions, and HSA or FSA contributions migrate as active deduction records. We flag inactive garnishments separately and confirm the destination system supports the same deduction types before mapping.
Workers Compensation Settings
Mapping requiredWC class codes, rates, and carrier information are mapped to the destination system's workers comp configuration. We verify that class code tables match between systems, as mismatches can cause audit exposure after migration.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredBeyondPay allows custom fields configured per client, but there is no publicly documented schema. We request a field inventory from the BeyondPay implementation team during scoping and map each to a destination custom field or flag for exclusion if no equivalent exists.
Reports and Report Templates
Not in this platformBeyondPay does not expose a documented report export or template API. Custom report definitions, scheduled reports, and saved report configurations are not migratable and must be rebuilt in the destination system post-cutover.
