Payroll for retail stores.
Retail payroll serving Long Island, New York, New Jersey and beyond.
Hourly teams, seasonal swings and more than one location. PayNortheast brings hours and sales data in from your point-of-sale system, so payroll for your stores is never re-keyed.
Store payroll straight from your POS.
Your point-of-sale system already tracks who worked and what sold. We import hours and sales data into payroll each pay period, so nothing is typed in twice.
- Hours imported from your POS, not re-keyed
- Sales data on hand for commissions and reporting
- Fewer manual entries and fewer corrections
- Your account manager reviews every import before payroll runs
Good fit if you run…
- A store or several stores
- A team that clocks in at the register
- A business with a busy season
Using a time clock instead? Time and attendance flows into payroll the same way.

Retail payroll FAQ
Do you run payroll for retail stores?
Yes. We run retail payroll for stores on Long Island and across New York and New Jersey, from a single shop to several locations.
Can you import hours from our POS system?
Yes. We import hours and sales data from your point-of-sale system into payroll each pay period, so your team’s time isn’t re-keyed. Tell us which system you use and we’ll confirm how the import works.
How do you handle seasonal hiring?
Seasonal staff onboard online and we file the New York and New Jersey new hire reports for you. When the season ends, they come off payroll and still receive their W-2s at year-end.
What is the minimum wage for retail employees in New York?
$17.00 an hour on Long Island, in New York City and in Westchester, and $16.00 an hour in the rest of New York State. The New York State Department of Labor has announced those rates stay the same on January 1, 2027.
How often do retail employees have to be paid in New York?
New York Labor Law requires manual workers to be paid weekly. The Department of Labor treats anyone who spends more than 25% of their working time on physical labor as a manual worker, which can include cashiers and stock staff, so we set up pay schedules to match.
Can I see payroll by store or department?
Yes. Payroll and labor cost reports are organized by location and by department, from the same data that pays your team.
