Payroll day used to be a weekend.
Now it's a tap.
Ocean State Payroll is a done-for-you payroll service for small Rhode Island businesses. Your crew logs a few hours, and we handle the rest — the math, the filing, the run — on your pay-period schedule, every time.
How it works
One touch, ten minutes of entry, and your payroll is done. That's the whole product.
We reach you on payroll day
On the pay-period due date and time your team expects, we contact you — text, email, or however works best. No spreadsheets, no chasing, no "hey what were your hours again?" threads.
Your employees log their time
W-2 staff log hours and minutes. 1099 contractors enter their flat amount. Ten minutes total, from any phone.
We take it from there
We compile, calculate, and run the entire payroll ourselves — calculation, filing, and payment, all under one roof. You get a completed payroll, not a software license to do it yourself.
Why teams stay with us
Built for trades & small teams
HVAC, plumbing, construction, shops — crews that work the week and get paid by the hour or the job. W-2 and 1099 handled side by side.
A real company, not a dashboard
This is a service, not a SaaS subscription. We handle every step of the process ourselves; you just supply the hours.
Due dates that fit your schedule
Weekly, bi-weekly, any day of the week, any time of day. We hit your pay-period date, not ours.
Flat, honest pricing
Priced per employee, like any bookkeeper you'd hire — without the bookkeeper overhead. Final quote on our call.
