Affiliation / Independence Disclosure
Independence Disclosure
The Payroll Handoff is an independent informational website.
It is not operated by or affiliated with:
- Payroll Relief;
- AccountantsWorld;
- IRIS Software Group.
The site does not process payroll on behalf of those companies and does not represent their customer-service departments.
Company names and trademarks are used only to identify products and organizations that are being discussed editorially.
Official third-party resources should be labeled clearly as external resources.
The site should never display an ordinary navigation button saying:
Payroll Relief Login
if the button simply sends a visitor to another company’s authentication system.
Better language is:
Visit the official Payroll Relief site — external resource
Google’s Misrepresentation policy currently prohibits making it appear that a site is supported by another brand when that support does not exist.
Google also maintains a separate trademark policy governing the use of protected brands in advertising.
