Common questions
What is the submission cutoff for payroll?
We require payroll data by Tuesday for Friday direct deposit. Exact timing depends on your chosen payroll schedule.
Do you handle contractor (1099) payments?
Yes. We track contractor payments throughout the year and prepare 1099-NEC forms before the January deadline.
What if I have both employees and contractors?
We handle both. We also help you classify workers correctly — misclassification is one of the most common IRS audit triggers.
