Payroll entities

A payroll entity is one legal employer, with its own EIN, that runs payroll. If your business has several companies, add each one.

1. Switch to your organization in the Context menu.
2. Open Settings, Payroll entities.
3. Enter the legal name, and optionally a "doing business as" name and website.
4. Enter the primary business contact: usually the owner or an officer. The payroll provider uses this for verification.
5. Confirm the business accepts the payroll provider's terms, and choose Create.

The entity appears as Onboarding while the business is verified. It becomes Active when verification passes, or Action required if something needs your attention.
