But now with the partnership, Payroll City and EaseCentral insist small and midsize business owners, employees and health insurance professionals can easily and affordably pull quotes and compare information from multiple carriers instantly from any desktop or mobile device and seamless integrated it with payroll date.

“Every small business can enjoy our easy to use, world class solution at a fraction of the cost of the complicated enterprise solutions today,” wrote the startups that appear to be going after established rivals like Zenefits and ADP, two popular payroll platforms for U.S. small businesses.

“I am very excited about our partnership with EaseCentral. The integration not only provides our customers with a simple end to end solution to manage payroll, HR, benefits enrollment, and ACA compliance, but it also enhances our partnership program for insurance agencies,” said Kathleen Fox, President of Payroll City.
