Payroll

Small business payroll for Seattle & Washington employers

Washington's payroll rules trip up small employers, and the penalties are real. We run accurate, on-time payroll for small businesses across Washington and keep you compliant with the state and city rules that don't apply anywhere else.

Washington state requirements

No state income tax to withhold here, but plenty else:

  • Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML): premiums, withholding, and quarterly reports
  • L&I workers' comp: hours-based premiums by risk class
  • WA Cares Fund: the long-term-care deduction, done right
  • Paid sick leave and minimum wage: including Seattle's own ordinances
  • Year End Reporting: W-2's and 1099s

First payroll or your hundredth

Just made your first hire? We'll register you as an employer and set it up from scratch. Already running payroll and tired of the compliance worry? We'll take it off your plate. Either way, your team gets paid right and on time.

Better alongside your books

Payroll is cleanest when it flows into your monthly bookkeeping. We do both, and we know the quirks of restaurant payroll (tips, hourly teams) and construction.
