How do I enroll an employee in auto-pay?

Hi there, Franklin.

Let me assist you in enrolling your employee in Auto-Payroll. Before doing so, ensure that the employees you want to use Auto Payroll for are set up with the following:

• Employment status is Active
• Salary pay or an hourly rate with default hours
• A pay schedule.
• Tax info (W-4 and state taxes)

Auto Payroll is not suitable for commission-only employees, inactive employees, or 1099 contractors. It also isn't recommended for hourly employees whose hours vary each pay period. Now it's time to enroll your employees in Auto Payroll.

Here's how:

1. Go to Settings ⚙, then Payroll Settings.
2. In the Auto Payroll box, select Edit.
3. Select the employees you wish to pay on Auto Payroll. You can only select eligible employees.
4. Click Save Changes.
5. Review the confirmation for employee count and Auto Payroll dates.
6. Select Done.
