Running a business in the Cortland and Ithaca area of New York State means operating in a unique, vibrant economy. Between the bustling energy of local colleges and universities and our many restaurants, vineyards, farms and shops, Central New York business owners wear a lot of hats. But let’s be honest: keeping up with payroll probably isn’t your favorite part of the day. Between tracking hours for your employees and navigating labor laws, it can quickly feel overwhelming.
