Streamline Payroll in the Virgin Islands with Lasinja
Running a business in the Virgin Islands comes with its unique set of challenges and opportunities. When I hired the first employee at CrucianPoint and for 9 years after, we tried countless ways to make payroll easy. Quickbooks Desktop was probably the only tool that worked but as a technology company, I needed something cloud based. I needed anywhere access and the ability to share information without sending files back and forth using email.
For the first 5 years we used a variety of online tools to calculate our bi-weekly payroll tax and net pay. We then created a spreadsheet to track the information and send to our bookkeeper for quarterly filings. For the next 4 years we used a custom Excel spreadsheet that included tax rates and formulas for calculating payroll and generating pay stubs as needed. By 2019, I realized that the spreadsheet was not sustainable. It was not scalable as we added new employees. Employees had no way to view their pay statements. The process of preparing 941 tax forms was still a manual process. In fact, one year our accountant transposed two numbers when they were creating one of the quarterly 941SS reports. Imagine typing 9601.16 instead of 6901.16. Bi-weekly payroll always gave me a bitter feeling.
We started using Lasinja in 2022 and since then, payroll has been sweet! Lasinja revolutionized our payroll processes. The Lasinja team releases new features and updates frequently. Employees now receive their pay statement on pay day and they can sign in to view historical pay statements.
