Pricing FAQs
Will cancelling a pay run cost anything?
There is no fee for cancelling a pay run. Once processed, pay runs can be cancelled until 11:30 pm on the business day before the payroll funds are to be drafted. After 11:30 pm of the day before, a processed pay run may not be able to be cancelled.
Can I really run payroll as many times as I want at no extra cost?
Yep! Your monthly base fee never changes from month-to-month, and the per-employee fee applies only once per month. For example, if you have one employee, you could pay them monthly, semi-monthly, bi-weekly, weekly, even daily, but you're still only paying one employee that month, so your bill would still only be the base fee + 1 employee.
Will I be charged for employees on my payroll if they're paid $0?
Yes. Your monthly bill is based on the flat rate, plus the per-employee fee for each employee or contractor who's included in at least one pay run during the billing period. Even if a worker has no entered hours or earnings, including them in a pay run will count toward the per-employee fee.
It's recommended to review the employees listed in the pay run, and to make sure that only the employees who should receive a paycheck are selected by "checking" or "unchecking" applicable employees. This will improve the accuracy of payroll reports, while avoiding unnecessary added costs.
Is sales tax applied to my subscription price?
In many states, software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription payments are subject to sales tax. This includes online payroll services like OnPay. If your company is tax-exempt, a valid exemption certificate must be provided to enable OnPay to remove sales tax from your subscription payments.
Is there any special pricing or discounts?
While we're unable to offer student or other discounts, we never charge for extras like tax filings and payments in multiple states, off-cycle runs, or run cancellations.
What ways can I pay employees and contractors?
Pay workers however you want, whether by direct deposit, debit cards, or printing your own checks. You can even pay different people in different ways in a single pay run at no added cost.
Are employees able to see their pay online?
Employees and contractors have lifetime access to their pay stubs, as well as year-end forms through a self-service portal.
