Compensation
Under "Compensation", you'll see a 1099 pay item is already assigned. By default, this is an hourly pay item, so entering a fixed rate here will allow you to simply enter the contractor's hours when running payroll. If left it blank, a rate must be entered during each pay run.
You can add as many pay items as you need for this contractor. They'll be available when you run payroll. Pay items can be hourly, or non-hourly.

Deductions
Enable deductions if needed. More about deductions→
Bank/Payment
To set up direct deposit payments for a contractor, ask them for a voided check, or other proof of their bank account information to enter here. If you won't be paying them by direct deposit, turn off the toggle under "Add direct deposit?", and click Save & Continue.
Note: Be sure to let us know if this is a savings account.
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.
