Prysm Payroll scans your payroll before you hit "run" — duplicate pay, rate changes, overtime math, and tax anomalies, flagged automatically in seconds. Built and tested against real payroll data, not guesswork.
A duplicate payment, a misapplied overtime rate, or a tax miscalculation doesn't just cost the extra dollars — it means corrections, awkward conversations with employees, and sometimes penalties. Most of these errors are avoidable, but only if someone catches them before payroll runs, not after.
Prysm Payroll is a second set of eyes on every pay run: it checks the numbers a human reviewer would check, consistently, every single time.
Prysm Payroll reads standard payroll CSV exports from tools like Gusto, ADP, Paychex, and QuickBooks — and it also understands detailed line-item payroll registers (the kind exported by larger platforms like UKG), automatically grouping every line by employee with no manual setup.
Upload a file, confirm what it found, and review a flagged list sorted by severity — critical issues first.
Prysm Payroll exists because catching an error before payroll runs shouldn't require a full finance department — just a second set of eyes that never gets tired or distracted.
When you email support@prysmpayroll.com, you're reaching a real person who reads every message — not a ticket queue. We'd genuinely like to hear from you, questions and all.
Payroll errors are common, and they compound the longer they go uncaught.
Each check is calibrated against real payroll data to catch genuine issues without burying you in false alarms.
Employees paid twice in one run, terminated staff still receiving pay, or someone who dropped off the payroll entirely.
Pay below minimum wage, an hourly rate that changed without explanation, or gross pay that swung far outside the norm.
Unreasonable hours for the pay period, and overtime pay that doesn't match hours worked × rate × the correct multiplier.
Net pay that doesn't equal gross minus deductions, employer/employee tax mismatches, and deductions that exceed gross pay.
Illustrative scenarios showing the kinds of real payroll errors Prysm Payroll's checks are built to catch.
Reviews based on the kinds of results Prysm Payroll is built to deliver.
"I ran our payroll through Prysm Payroll before submitting and it caught a duplicate hours entry I'd completely missed. That would have been a $400 overpayment."
"Payroll used to be the part of my week I dreaded. Now I upload the export, get a clean report in under a minute, and actually feel confident hitting submit."
"I run every client's payroll register through Prysm Payroll before it goes out. It's saved me from an overtime miscalculation twice this year alone."
"Setup was quick and register mode handled our UKG export without any manual column mapping. Would like multi-location breakdowns in one report, but it already catches what matters."
"An employee was accidentally left off a pay run, and Prysm Payroll flagged it right away by comparing against the prior period. That's a phone call I never want to make."
"As a small team, we can't afford a full payroll audit service. Prysm Payroll does exactly what we need for a fraction of the cost."
"We run Prysm Payroll across our entire client base now. It's become a standard step before we sign off on any payroll run."
"Straightforward to use even though I'm not the most technical person on our team. Caught a tax mismatch on our first run that would've been a headache to fix after filing."
"A data-entry typo bumped one crew member's hourly rate from $19.50 to $195.00. Prysm Payroll flagged it instantly as way outside the normal range for that job classification — caught before it ever touched a paycheck."

Everything you need to know before you run your next payroll check.
Prysm Payroll checks payroll exports for duplicate or missing pay, pay rate and salary anomalies, hours and overtime miscalculations, and tax and deduction mismatches before payroll is submitted.
Prysm Payroll reads standard payroll CSV exports from systems like Gusto, ADP, Paychex, and QuickBooks, as well as detailed line-item payroll registers such as those exported by UKG.
Not as a live account connection — and that's by design, since Prysm Payroll never talks to an external server. Instead, export your report from QuickBooks (Reports > Payroll Summary or Payroll Details > Export as CSV) and upload the file directly. Two tips for a clean import: if your export doesn't include a separate numeric employee ID column, map the "Employee" name column to the Employee ID field during setup; and if it lists several tax lines separately (federal, Social Security, Medicare), pick your total tax/deduction column for the Deductions field rather than just one line item, so the totals check comes out accurate.
Prysm Payroll costs $59.99/month for up to 200 employees, or $99.99/month for 201 to 500 employees, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial — you won't be charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime before then. Both tiers include the full tool — every detection check, register support, and priority email support.
Every plan includes a 14-day free trial that starts as soon as you sign up. You won't be charged until the trial ends. You can cancel anytime, including during the trial, by emailing support@prysmpayroll.com — cancel before the trial ends and you won't be charged at all.
