Launching Embedded Payroll with Easyteam is the fastest and easiest way to provide payroll services to your customers.

For many platforms, payroll is the missing piece. Businesses rely on your software for daily operations - scheduling, time tracking, attendance - but when it comes to paying employees, they’re forced to export data into external systems.

This creates friction:

Manual data syncs and errors

Extra costs managing multiple vendors

Longer time to market when platforms try to build payroll in-house

Embedded payroll changes this. Instead of sending your users elsewhere, payroll runs directly inside your platform: fully integrated with time and attendance data, tax logic, and compliance requirements.

How Embedded Payroll with Easyteam fits into your platform

Traditional payroll systems require businesses to use separate platforms and manually move data between systems. With embedded payroll, the entire payroll experience lives directly within your platform - from employee onboarding to running payroll and automating direct deposits.

Core Capabilities

With Easyteam handling workforce data (time, schedules, PTO) and Salsa powering payroll logic (gross-to-net, tax rules, filings, and payments), your platform delivers a complete embedded solution:

Hours and compensation from Easyteam are automatically transferred to payroll flows.

Time & Attendance, PTO, and compensation data flow automatically into payroll

Changes in timesheets are reflected instantly in the next payroll run

Tax calculations and filings across all 50 U.S. states and Canada

Direct deposit processing and automated payment management

Employee documentation and compliance workflows built in

Workers’ compensation insurance included in payroll flows

Year-end tax forms and reporting handled automatically

Automated tax payments and remittance to federal, state, and local agencies

User Journey

When your users enable payroll inside your platform, they experience a streamlined, white-label onboarding flow delivered entirely through embedded UI components:

Business Registration

Enter business information, register employer details, and verify bank accounts.

Configure Pay Settings

Set up pay schedules, choose pay types (hourly, salary), configure overtime, and approval workflows.

Historical Data Migration

Import data from a previous provider or upload tax documents so Easyteam + Salsa can take over tax reporting and W-2/1099 management.

Approval and Payroll Run

Verify registrations, banking setup, and tax configuration before first payroll run.

Payroll Run screen with a payslip preview

Our payroll specialists support any edge cases during onboarding and provide guidance for unique compliance requirements.

Business Impact

Implementing this flow inside your platform brings measurable benefits:

Reduced Time-to-Value

Businesses can complete setup in under an hour and typically process their first payroll within two weeks. Faster activation accelerates adoption of your payroll features and contibutes to platform stickiness.

User Retention

Payroll transforms your platform into a business-critical system. Once customers run payroll through your platform, retention rates increase significantly — moving you from a “nice-to-have” to an indispensable tool.

Enhanced Compliance

The structured onboarding and real-time payroll logic ensure all required regulations are met before processing begins. This protects your platform while giving your customers peace of mind.
