Why It Matters in Jensen Beach

Payroll for a seasonal Treasure Coast community

Like much of the Treasure Coast, Jensen Beach sees more visitors in the cooler months, at the beaches on Hutchinson Island and in local shops and restaurants. Summer brings sea turtle nesting season at Jensen Beach and a slower pace. Martin County government in Stuart covers the community, since Jensen Beach has no city government of its own. Many owners here run small crews that grow and shrink through the year.

Hiring and letting go of seasonal staff creates paperwork. Each new hire needs the right forms, and each one counts toward Florida reemployment tax on the first $7,000 of wages. Brian runs payroll on your schedule, makes the federal deposits, and files the RT-6 every quarter so a busy season does not turn into late notices.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Jensen Beach business owners ask about payroll.

Do I have to come to Vero Beach to set up payroll?
No. Most clients work with Brian by phone, email and secure upload. Jensen Beach employers send hours by email or upload, and paychecks go out by direct deposit or paper check on schedule.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need. The first call is free, and Brian quotes the work before anything starts.
Do I withhold Florida income tax from paychecks?
No. Florida has no state income tax, so paychecks only have federal withholding, Social Security and Medicare. You still owe Florida reemployment tax as the employer.
How does reemployment tax work for seasonal staff?
You pay Florida reemployment tax on the first $7,000 each employee earns in a year, and new employers usually start at 2.7%. The RT-6 is due April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31.
Should my winter help be employees or contractors?
It depends on how much control you have over the work. Brian can walk through each role with you so workers are classified correctly before the season starts.
