Why It Matters in Crane

Payroll for Small Crews and Seasonal Help

Most Crane employers are not large. A lease service company might have six hands, a ranch might add help for working cattle, and a local shop might have a few part-time employees. Small payrolls still carry the same deposit deadlines and quarterly reports as big ones.

Missing one of those deadlines brings penalties that can be hard to absorb for a small company. We keep the schedule, run the numbers and file the forms, and you approve each payroll before it goes out.

Overtime for Long Days

Hourly field hands paid overtime correctly when the work runs past 40 hours.

Hands Who Come and Go

New hires set up with the right forms on day one, and departing workers closed out cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Crane employers ask about payroll.

I only have four employees. Is a payroll service worth it?

For many small employers it is, because the filing schedule is the same whether you have four people or forty. The time and the penalty risk do not shrink much with headcount. We can talk through whether it makes sense for you on a short call.

Do I withhold Texas income tax from paychecks?

No. Texas has no state income tax. You do pay state unemployment tax to the Texas Workforce Commission. For 2026 the taxable wage base is $9,000 per employee, and most new employers start at 2.7%. We handle those quarterly reports.

Can you pay day help who work on the ranch a few weeks a year?

Yes. We help you decide whether each worker is an employee or a contractor, then set them up so the right taxes and year-end forms apply.

Do I need to come into the office to set up payroll?

No. Crane clients work with us remotely. Documents are shared securely online and we meet by phone or video. If you would like to sit down in person, our Odessa office is about 32 miles north on US-385 and is open by appointment.

How much does payroll cost?

Pricing depends on your entity type, transaction volume, and which services you need. We'll give you a flat quote after a short call, so there are no surprise invoices. Most business owners find the tax savings cover the fee.
