Payroll software that grows with you

Yes, you’ll still need to run payroll – the great news is one of our specialties is payroll runs for start-up companies and entrepreneurs! If you own an S-Corporation, a C-Corporation, or you’re an LLC that chooses to be taxed as an S-Corporation, you will need to pay yourself through a payroll system. OnPay can and does support LLC’s who pay themselves on any pay schedule ⁠— whether it’s once a year or as often as weekly. For any specific questions related to setting each of these entities up, talk to your bookkeeper, accountant, or tax professional.

Yes, start-up companies are required to pay state and federal payroll taxes on employee compensation. Payroll taxes are usually calculated as a percentage of the salaries the company pays to its employees.

You’re in luck! OnPay can be your payroll services provider for any business structure you decide to use (including the ones listed above) but our team can’t help choose the one you use. Most CPA’s, bookkeepers and accountants can help steer you in the right direction.

You can get set up super fast – we’ll just need some basic details so our team can help assist you with your setup.  And our in-house payroll experts will do all the heavy lifting — from setting up your dashboard to adding your clients and their employees. We’ll even enter any prior wages to make it easy to switch. And can have you up and running in a matter of days.

Yes, you can! You can be employed and self-employed at the same time. One scenario could be you are working for an employer during the daytime, but run your own business in the evening.

There’s a very good chance we work seamlessly with the time tracking software you use and currently can connect to QuickBooks Time, When I Work and Deputy. Here’s more information on the integrations we offer.

Paying your team shouldn’t be complicated — no matter who’s involved. Start-ups are hiring a bigger mix of in-house employees and contract workers lately, 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.

Once your account is approved for direct deposit — which can take up to 2 – 3 business days — and you’ve invited your employees into the system, it’s really just a matter of them adding in their direct deposit information and enabling the function. We typically default to four-day processing so once you process payroll, it would take those four business days for the employees to receive funds.
