About [PUBLICATION NAME]

[PUBLICATION NAME] is an independent publication covering Payroll Relief and the payroll workflows surrounding the platform.

Payroll Relief was created by AccountantsWorld as payroll software for professional accountants and payroll service providers. Rather than structuring every employer as an isolated DIY payroll customer, the product allows an accounting practice to manage payroll processing and compliance for many client businesses while granting clients and employees narrower access to the functions they actually need.

AccountantsWorld became part of IRIS Software Group in December 2021. Today, the AccountantsWorld website continues to describe Payroll Relief, while current documentation, common-question articles and 2026 product release notes are increasingly published through IRIS Global.

That history creates several different search audiences.

An accountant may be researching payroll automation, e-services or integrations. An employer may be working inside a limited client-access environment. An employee may simply need a pay statement or payroll tax form and encounter the Payroll Relief name through the Employee Portal.

Our editorial structure reflects those differences.

We do not publish separate articles for every wording variation such as “Payroll Relief login,” “Payroll Relief employee login,” “paystub login” and “W-2 login” when those searches substantially point toward the same employee-access workflow. One comprehensive employee portal article owns that task.

By contrast, tax compliance, payroll processing, Employee Self Service and practice-level integrations represent materially different jobs and are covered separately.

How We Research

We prioritize current first-party information from:

• IRIS Payroll Relief Help Center;
• AccountantsWorld Payroll Relief product pages;
• current IRIS release notes;
• official Employee Portal application listings;
• IRIS corporate information.

Freshness matters because Payroll Relief continues to change. Current 2026 documentation includes updates to payroll calculations, state programs, year-end reporting requirements and support tooling.

We do not substitute old third-party pricing or feature claims for current first-party evidence when the current product does not publish the same information.

Independence

[PUBLICATION NAME] is not AccountantsWorld, Payroll Relief or IRIS Software Group.

We do not:

• process payroll;
• initiate direct deposits;
• file payroll taxes;
• issue W-2s;
• reset employee credentials;
• change employee records;
• manage employers’ e-services accounts.

We also never need a reader’s password, SSN, banking information or payroll forms.

Our purpose is editorial: explain how Payroll Relief works and help accountants, employers and employees identify the correct workflow.
