Q: How does payroll billing work?
A: Workstream Payroll fees include:
Payroll Base Fee – A fixed monthly subscription fee for payroll services
Usage-Based Fees – These depend on your payroll activity and include:
Per-employee monthly usage – Covers paid employees, time-off tracking, and payroll processing
Additional service fees – These apply to specific payroll actions, such as failed payments or next-day pay. Learn more about additional payroll fees
Q: Can payroll fees be split across multiple locations?
A: Yes, but it depends on the type of fee and how your business is structured:
The payroll base fee can be split by EIN or by workplace
Usage-based fees (such as failed payments or next-day pay) can only be split by EIN
If you have only one EIN, split billing for usage-based fees is not possible
Q: Are there extra fees for direct deposit?
A: No, there is no extra charge for paying employees via direct deposit. However, if a direct deposit account fails validation or if the deposit cannot be completed, a fee will apply.
