Specific industry versions available include options for restaurants, farms, caregivers, construction, church, and nonprofits. AMS Payroll is helpful to accountants but is primarily used in-house by managers of small businesses.

Here are some of the most important features of AMS Payroll:
- Straightforward setup: For both employer and employee, the setup process is streamlined and straightforward. User-defined fields allow you to specify parameters like deductions and additions such as 401K or health insurance.
- Automatic calculations: Federal, state, and local payroll taxes are calculated automatically. Relevant tax tables are included and updated automatically so there will be no big surprises come tax time.

- Tailored industry features: One of AMS Payroll’s major advantages is the specific tailoring of its software. The benefit of software that is customized to the unique challenges of the industry cannot be overstated. For example, tailoring AMS to the restaurant industry ensures the app takes into account specifics like tips, delivery and related costs, and the potential of cross-training in restaurant workers with payroll differences. Other specific industry AMS Payroll solutions are available for farms, nannies, caregivers, construction companies, churches, and nonprofits.
- Module interaction: Because AMS Payroll is an add-on module to the AMS 1099 forms software, module interaction is important and efficient. The two modules will communicate with one another with just a few clicks. AMS Payroll will also interact smoothly with other AMS add-on modules.
