That was slightly slower than the national average growth of 0.09 percent, the payroll software provider said.
Intuit uses data from 248,000 customers, gathered between Dec. 24 and Jan. 23, to compile the index.
The January index also revealed that hourly employees at small companies earned 0.4 percent more compensation, or an additional $13 from the month prior.
