Frequently asked questions about recruiting payroll software

  • What is the best software for a recruitment agency?

    Experts and clients say OnPay is the best, but it’s important to weigh your options. Start by making a list of top payroll features you’d like to have in a payroll service, and compare providers. Once you’ve narrowed down your options, look for a provider that offers easy setup, automated tax filings, and reliable support. OnPay checks all these boxes, making it a top choice for recruitment agencies who want hassle-free payroll software.

  • Does OnPay handle 1099s and W-2s for staffing payroll?

    Yes, paying your recruiters shouldn’t be a hassle. Recruiting agencies are hiring a bigger mix of in-house employees and contract workers these days — and placing them with clients — so we’ll let you process all the workers you need to pay in the same pay run. We handle W-2 forms and 1099 filings at the end of the year. And if a worker goes a month without being paid through OnPay, you won’t be charged for them.

  • Do I get charged for temp workers between assignments?

    Not at all. If a worker goes a month without being paid through OnPay, you won’t be charged for them.

  • Does OnPay handle new hire reporting? (or take care of it for me?)

    OnPay reports new hires on your behalf to all fifty states, plus D.C. New hire reporting is typically completed every Friday by the close of business.

  • How long does it take to set up an account and start running payroll?

    You can get set up super fast. We’ll just need some basic information about your agency — and our team can help you with your setup. Our team will do all the heavy lifting, from setting up your account to entering any prior wages, and can have you up and running in a matter of days.
