A Payroll Company That Actually Knows Honolulu

There’s a real difference between a national company that tacks Hawaii onto their coverage map and one that’s been doing Hawaii payroll since 1969. We’re the latter. We’ve seen what national providers miss because we fix it when clients come to us.

We Know Hawaii Payroll Law

Hawaii has payroll rules that mainland companies miss all the time: HW-14 withholding deposits, UC-B6 unemployment filings, Hawaii-specific deduction tracking. We’ve been filing these correctly since 1969. We know what breaks because we fix it when clients leave their old provider.

When you call, you get someone who already knows your file. Not a ticket number, not a callback queue. We answer questions the same day. That’s been the standard here since before most payroll software existed.

How Honolulu Payroll Works With PDS

Most new clients are up and running within a week. After that, your only job is sending us hours.

Free Consultation

15 minutes. We go over your headcount, pay schedule, and what you’re doing now. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.

2

Quick Setup

We collect employee info, set up direct deposit, and get your account loaded. Most businesses are live within a week.

Phone, email, or fax. We also pull from time clocks and POS systems if that’s easier. Most clients are under 10 minutes per pay period.

4

We Handle Everything

Calculations, deposits, filings, reports. Your employees get paid. You don’t think about it again until next pay period.

Switching Honolulu Payroll Providers Is Easier Than You Think

You don’t have to wait until January. We do mid-year transitions all the time. Your employees won’t notice a thing.

We Import Your YTD Data

Every employee’s year-to-date wages, taxes withheld, and deductions get loaded before your first run with us. No gaps, no duplicate filings.

Zero Downtime

We time it so there’s no gap. Your old provider runs their last payroll, we pick up the next one. Your employees don’t see a thing change.

W-2s Handled at Year End

Switch in July and we still handle the W-2s in January. We reconcile what your previous provider processed so the full year is accounted for.

Honolulu Payroll Services FAQ

Where is Pacific Data Services located in Honolulu?

50 S Beretania Street, Downtown Honolulu — same address since 1969. We work with Oahu businesses remotely; you never need to come in. But if you want to stop by, we’re here.

What does full-service Honolulu payroll include?

Wage calculations, deductions, direct deposit or checks, federal and Hawaii tax deposits, quarterly filings (941, HW-14, UC-B6), annual FUTA, W-2s, HW-3 reconciliation. 1099s and ACA filing too, if needed. You send hours — we do the rest.

How much does payroll cost for a Honolulu small business?

Most Honolulu small businesses land between $100 and $350 a month, depending on how many employees you have and how often you run payroll. No setup fees, no contracts. Call (808) 521-1813 and we’ll give you a number.

Why hire a local Honolulu payroll company instead of a national one?

National payroll companies handle 50 states. Hawaii-specific filings — HW-14, UC-B6, Hawaii employer deductions — are the ones they get wrong most often. We’ve been doing these filings correctly since 1969. When clients switch to us from national providers, fixing old mistakes is usually the first thing we do.

Do you handle tipped employees and restaurant payroll in Honolulu?

Yes. Restaurant and hospitality payroll is a big part of what we do in Honolulu. We handle tip calculations, FICA tip credits, and Form 8027 reporting where it applies. It’s more involved than standard payroll — we’ve been doing it long enough that it’s routine for us.

Can I switch to PDS from my current payroll provider mid-year?

Yes. We do this regularly. We bring in your year-to-date data, get your account set up, and run your next payroll without a gap. W-2s at year end will reflect the full year, including what your previous provider handled.
