How it works
We register you with EDD and the IRS and pick the platform.
Employees complete I-9/W-4 digitally; we set pay schedules and benefits deductions.
You approve hours; we run payroll and the filings happen automatically.
W-2s, 1099s and the payroll reconciliation to your books and tax return.
Questions we hear most
I am the only employee of my S-Corp. Do I need payroll?
Yes. S-Corp owner-employees must be paid a reasonable salary through payroll. We set the amount, document it, and run it monthly or quarterly.
Which platform?
Gusto for most clients; QuickBooks Payroll when the books are already in QBO and the team is small. You own the account either way.
