If you employ 1099 contractors, you can include them in your regular pay runs, or separately in a special pay run. You can have unlimited pay runs each month at no extra cost. You can invite them to self-onboard, or add their information manually. We'll cover both workflows here.
Invite a contractor to self-onboard
Go to Workers, Contractors.
Click Hire Worker.
Choose the "Worksite" where this contractor will be performing work. Then enter their name, email, business name.
Click Invite when you're ready to invite this contractor to self-onboard.

Click Add a contractor.
Personal/Business Information
Business Name
Enter the business name of the contractor.
Tax Calculation
Contractors are essentially their own business or company, performing work for your company. But not all contractors are taxed the same. If the contractor's is an individual, you'll need their Social Security Number (SSN). If they are a corporation, partnership, trust, or LLC, you'll use their Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN).
Personal and contact information
Enter the contractor's name, birthday, gender, phone number(s), home address (not business address), and emergency contact information.
Tip: When entering phone numbers, click in the left of the field for best results.
Once you've verified that all personal and business information for this contractor is correct, click Save & Continue to move on to compensation.
Compensation
Enter the location, department, and position of this contractor. Then choose their compensation pay item, their pay rate, and any deductions.
Note: You can add as many pay items as you need for this contractor, and they'll be available when you run payroll. Don't see the pay items you're looking for? Learn how to set up payroll pay items→
Bank/Payment
You can ask this contractor for a voided check, or other proof of their bank account information to enter here.
Note: Be sure to indicate if this is a savings account
Don't want to use direct deposit?
That's ok. You can turn direct deposit off and issue checks or even invite this contractor to set it up themselves.
When you've finished, click Save & Continue.
You will be taken to the Contractors page and your new addition to the team will be on the list if you ever need to make edits or changes.
