Upgrade to Plus, grow past the basics

  • Pay your team in more than one state, so when you hire in a new state, your payroll is in one place instead of splitting across tools.

  • Track hours where you run payroll, so hours flow straight into payroll — no re-keying from a spreadsheet or a separate app.

  • Get pay out faster with next day pay, so you can run payroll closer to payday and keep more cash in the business longer.

  • Bundle features you may already pay for separately. If you currently pay for time tracking or next-day pay as add-ons, Plus includes them in your plan.

Upgrading to Plus helps your business take that next big step, featuring payroll across more than one state, time tracking built into the same place you run payroll, and next-day pay so money moves faster.
