FAQ
Common questions
Do you handle payroll for seasonal or variable crews?
Yes. Payroll that scales up and down through the year, without extra admin every time headcount changes, is a common need for the clients we work with.
Can you run payroll in multiple states?
Yes. We currently file multi-state payroll taxes for clients in Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Hawaii, and North Carolina, in addition to California.
Do you handle certified payroll for public works jobs?
Yes, including DIR registration and weekly certified payroll reporting. See our page for contractors for the full detail on prevailing wage compliance.
Do you file W-2s and 1099s at year end?
Yes, including corrections if something needs to be refiled.
