Every small business has different needs, so make sure you know exactly what you’ll be getting. Most notably, take a closer look to understand everything ADP and OnPay do to simplify paying and managing your team. And if you need to go above and beyond payroll, make sure you understand how much HR, benefits, and integrations with accounting software will all cost so there are no surprises later.
A good payroll service lets you handle all of your workers in the same pay run — in as many states as you need. And there should be no extra fees for additional pay runs. Remember that the tax rates and filing requirements vary at the federal, state, and local level. Selecting a provider that guarantees accurate calculations will give you extra peace of mind knowing things are done right.
With OnPay, you can pay W-2 and 1099 workers all in the same pay run. And with over 30 years of payroll experience, we’ll get things right for every business and locale — guaranteed.
It’s a good idea to confirm who will handle new employee onboarding. Some providers leave this up to the employer.
OnPay gives you all of the tools to streamline onboarding. You can send offer letters and new hire documents for e-signature right from the app.
Great question! Not every provider will report new workers to the appropriate state or district. Both OnPay and Run by ADP report new hires when they come onboard.
When you hire new workers, OnPay reports new hires on your behalf to all fifty states, plus DC. New hire reporting is typically completed every Friday by the close of business.
Whether you have one pay schedule or multiple, you’ll need a payroll platform that can support how often you plan to pay workers. The software should handle all of the calculations, withholdings, and deductions — including those for special pay types like tips, commissions, or bonuses.
With OnPay, you get unlimited pay runs and schedules included for one low monthly price. You can even run an off cycle payroll, and cancel or edit a pay run as needed. And with our accuracy guarantee, you can relax knowing that all of the calculations are done right.
A great payroll software will help you keep track of more than just payday. Many offer HR features for storing important employee paperwork, managing and approving time off, and more. They should also be able to help with benefits and workers’ comp, but double check to make sure there aren’t extra fees for plan integration or administration.
OnPay offers you a full suite of HR features to simplify people management. And with fully integrated workers’ comp and benefits, you can stay compliant and take great care of your team.
