I use a service (Guideline) that plugs into my payroll software (Gusto - this is my referral link, and it will save you $100. I *highly* recommend Gusto for running payroll and paying contractors/complying with 1099s/W2s). Guideline is so affordable and streamlined that even as a small employer, I have no trouble maintaining my 401k.
