FAQs about paychecks and payroll processing software

  • Can I pay employees with paper checks?

    Yes, while many businesses use direct deposit, you can also pay workers with paper checks using OnPay. You can run payroll as usual and choose to issue paper checks instead of direct deposit — whether it’s for a bonus, a one-time payment, or during a regular pay run. OnPay still calculates wages, withholds taxes, and files payroll taxes for you, so everything stays accurate and compliant.

  • How often should I run payroll for my employees?

    Pay frequency depends on your state’s laws, industry standards, and employee preferences. Common schedules include weekly, bi-weekly (every two weeks), semi-monthly (twice per month), or monthly. Bi-weekly is the most popular option among small businesses. Check your state’s requirements, as some states mandate minimum pay frequencies for hourly employees.
