Payroll for Remote Workers FAQs

  • What’s required to hire and pay remote employees?

    If you have employees in different cities and states, you’ll need to deal with different payroll tax filings and payroll tax rates. Each state also has its own requirements for reporting new hires. OnPay takes care of all these to-dos, but if you want a better sense of what goes into paying a remote team, here’s a more detailed overview.

  • How do payroll taxes work for an employee who works from home?

    Payroll taxes for each employee are based on where their work is performed. If you have any staff who work from home, that means they should be taxed based on the rates for their location. OnPay’s payroll software makes it easy by automating all of the federal, state, and local tax calculations based on an employee’s worksite address.

  • What tax filings are required if I have workers in another state?

    If you pay workers in multiple states, you are required to file and pay taxes in each state. OnPay will automate the tax filings and payments everywhere that you pay workers. Also, keep in mind that some cities also require employers and employees to pay payroll taxes. OnPay handles all of these payments for you. See more payroll software details.

  • How can I hire and onboard someone remotely?

    With the right software, onboarding a new hire virtually can be a breeze. Our app lets you send new hire paperwork and W-4s for e-signature, and it’s all stored securely in the cloud. You can even create custom onboarding workflows and assign tasks to workers to make sure a new hire has everything they need. See more HR features.

  • Can I pay all of my workers at the same time?

    Yes! Our payroll software lets you run things your way. You can pay your entire team in one pay run, or handle things separately for different worksites or types of workers.

  • How much does payroll for remote workers cost?

    With OnPay, everything you need is included for one monthly price of $40 + $6 per worker. There are no pricing tiers or extra fees for each state, and you’ll get unlimited pay runs each month. Together, our monthly billing and our single fee mean you’ll save 50% over other premium providers. See pricing.
