When your focus is on fundraising, programming, and community impact, dealing with payroll shouldn’t eat up hours of your week—or add risk to your organization.
Staff turnover, grant restrictions, and a patchwork of worker categorizations can create a tangle of pay rates, classifications, and compliance questions. Without a dedicated finance team, even simple payroll tasks can feel overwhelming.
Whether you’re a one-person HR team or the director doing it all, nonprofit staff often aren’t trained in payroll—and shouldn’t have to be.
Most nonprofits employ both W-2 staff and 1099 contractors, with roles that shift throughout the year. Add in volunteers and interns, and it’s a lot to manage.
Misclassifying workers as exempt or non-exempt—or mixing up 1099 vs. W-2—can lead to audit risk and penalties.
You need a system that flexes with your reality—monthly stipends, hourly team members, and project-based grant work.
Determining whether your organization is exempt from federal unemployment (FUTA) taxes isn’t always clear-cut.
Run payroll as many times as you need! There’s no extra charge for off-cycle runs.
So your team gets paid fast—without delays or annoyance.
No worries about your payroll paperwork! It's online and easy to find when you need it.
Because it feels great to not have to think about payroll taxes.
