IconCMO Payroll is payroll software for churches that works with IconCMO fund accounting. Payroll activity follows fund accounting guidelines, with entries posted to the appropriate fund for each employee. It supports federal, state, and local tax tables, or lets users enter their own calculations. The module handles pastor salaries, housing allowances, and customized withholding, and includes pay stubs, deductions and benefits tracking, direct deposit integration, payroll processing, filing integrations, and W-2 and year-end reporting. It supports unlimited employees and employee deductions, tracks payroll liability accounts, and provides a form for printing tax payment checks to government agencies. Icon lists Kotapay for ACH direct deposit and Yearli for W-2 filing, which requires importing a file from Icon Systems. The software is available on Android, iOS, and web. Icon Payroll starts at $40/mo as an add-on to an accounting or membership and donation package. A 30-day free trial is offered without a credit card or automatic renewal.
