Payroll is the heartbeat of your business — and getting it wrong has serious consequences. Late or inaccurate payroll damages employee trust, triggers IRS penalties, and creates Florida Department of Revenue compliance issues that can follow your business for years.
Key HR's payroll services give Florida businesses a dedicated payroll team backed by the Enwage platform — our proprietary HR technology that gives managers and employees real-time access to pay stubs, time tracking, PTO balances, and more. We process payroll for Florida businesses across every industry, from construction crews to professional services firms.
Full-Service Florida Payroll Processing
Key HR handles every step of the payroll process: collecting and validating time data, calculating gross pay and deductions, processing direct deposits, filing federal and Florida payroll taxes, and generating detailed payroll reports. We support weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly pay schedules.
Our payroll team monitors Florida-specific requirements including the annual minimum wage adjustment, Florida reemployment tax (SUTA) rates, and any local payroll tax obligations. You'll never need to track these changes yourself — Key HR keeps your payroll compliant automatically.
Certified Payroll for Florida Contractors
Florida contractors working on government or prevailing wage projects face additional payroll requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act and Florida's public works statutes. Key HR provides certified payroll services that meet all federal and Florida reporting requirements, including weekly WH-347 reports and proper classification of workers by trade.
Our construction payroll specialists understand the complexity of multi-trade projects, subcontractor reporting, and union vs. non-union payroll — giving Florida contractors the compliance support they need to bid and win government contracts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What payroll taxes does Key HR file in Florida?+
Key HR files all required federal payroll taxes (941, 940, FUTA) and Florida state taxes including Florida reemployment tax (SUTA/RT-6). We also handle W-2 and 1099 preparation and any applicable local payroll taxes. Florida has no state income tax, which simplifies some aspects of payroll, but Florida reemployment tax and workers' comp requirements add complexity that Key HR manages on your behalf.
