Running payroll for startups is as simple as setting up your SamePayroll account. You get your employees (or contractors) onboarded into our system, and we pretty much handle the rest. This means keeping you in compliance with state and federal laws, and making necessary deductions for things like Social Security and Medicare. And since SamePayroll was built with startup payroll in mind, you can be sure we have a plan that fits your needs—whether your business is brand new or you’re expanding even faster than you planned. 

The IRS sure doesn’t make things easy. Luckily, we’ve written a helpful article that lists the federal forms for startup payroll—along with links to download each of them. These are exactly the types of forms you can digitally sign and store on SamePayroll, so you’ll know they’re all in one easy-to-access place.

Sure! If you prefer paper checks instead of direct deposits, we’ll give you a template to print those paystubs yourself.

Quick tip: If you have employees interested in setting up bank accounts, employees can use SamePayroll Wallet to have their wages deposited into a simple cash account with a debit card. It’s a free financial planning tool and helps your team get access to their money quickly and easily.

Cash Accounts and the SamePayroll Debit Card are issued by nbkc bank, Member FDIC.

Yes! If your startup payroll is pretty straightforward, you can use our Payroll on AutoPilot™ feature. You just set your employees’ hours and wages or salary amount and when they should be paid, then we process payroll for you automatically every month. It’s a great way to avoid stress and save time. Plus, we’ll even send you a reminder one day before, in case you want to make changes
