Case Study: Metra achieves compliant, accurate payroll with Symmetry Software's Tax Engine

Metra - Customer Case Study

Metra, the regional railroad serving the Chicago area, needed a new payroll tax solution after Microsoft announced it would retire the U.S. payroll feature in Dynamics AX 2012. Because Metra has a highly customized payroll setup with unionized employees, railroad retirement funds instead of Social Security, and workers across multiple states, it needed a partner that could keep payroll compliant and accurate. Metra turned to Symmetry Software and its Symmetry Tax Engine to support this transition.

Symmetry Software helped Metra integrate the Symmetry Tax Engine into its existing Finance and Operations payroll system, providing detailed implementation guidance, including a custom 20-page document tailored to Metra’s needs. The result was smoother payroll processing, better compliance, and more frequent tax updates than Metra had before, moving from only two annual update cycles to more current releases throughout the year. With Symmetry Software, Metra improved the efficiency and reliability of its payroll tax handling for more than 200 employees.
