Payroll Tasks Following Initial Application

Once approved, companies are required to complete a set of tasks, including:
  • Verifying Test Deposits 
  • Uploading a Voided Check or Bank Statement
  • Signing Docs
  • Confirming Worker Information
  • Setting Up Pay Types
  • Providing Tax Docs 
If the company paid anyone in the current year, we require prior payroll history so that we can accurately file taxes and ensure that your transition to our system is as smooth as possible. 

During this time, you will have access to the Implementation Team, who can help guide you through setup.
