How It Works

Four steps from scattered spreadsheets to payroll that runs itself.

We designed this process by watching 200+ HR teams run their first payroll. Every step is one fewer thing you have to figure out alone.

01

Connect your HRIS

We pull your employee roster, pay rates, and benefits elections directly — no spreadsheets.

Works with Rippling, Gusto, BambooHR, Workday, Lattice, or a plain CSV. Setup takes about 8 minutes.

02

We classify your workers

Our compliance engine reviews every worker for W-2 vs. 1099 status and flags anything that needs a second look.

03

Review your first preview run

Before a single dollar moves, you see a full breakdown: gross pay, taxes, deductions, net deposits by state.

04

Approve and we file

One click starts deposits, files all required federal and state returns, and sends pay stubs to every employee.

Multi-State Compliance

Your engineers can live anywhere.
The filings follow them.

The average tech startup hires in 4 new states in its second year. Each one brings registration deadlines, new withholding rules, and unemployment insurance accounts. We open them before your first paycheck goes out.

State Nexus RegistrationWe register your company in new states before your first hire there — not after the notice arrives.
Automatic SUI Rate UpdatesState unemployment insurance rates change every January. We update them for all your states automatically.
W-2, 1099 & ACA FilingYear-end forms filed electronically with the IRS and mailed to employees by January 31.
Deposit Deadline MonitoringFederal and state tax deposit deadlines tracked per your deposit frequency — no penalties, no surprises.
New Hire ReportingRequired state new hire reports submitted within 20 days of each hire date. Automatically.
California-Specific ComplianceSDI, ETT, AB5 classification, pay stub requirements, and CPRA data handling — all handled.

Customer Stories

The teams who said
"I already handled it."

340+ tech teams across 38 states run payroll with PayrollHub.

Multi-state hiring
"We hired in four new states in Q3. I didn't file a single registration form — PayrollHub handled everything before the first check went out. That's not a feature, that's a different category of product."

VP of People

Fieldstack (Series B, 87 employees)

Legacy migration
"We were on Paychex for six years. The migration took 11 days, our employees didn't notice anything changed except the pay stubs looked better, and we cut our payroll admin time by 4 hours per cycle."

Head of Operations

Lenticular (Bootstrapped SaaS, 34 employees)

Nexus resolution
"We got a California nexus letter in November. By December 1st, PayrollHub had us registered, all back-quarter filings submitted, and a penalty abatement request drafted. Total cost to us: one phone call."
