Payroll sits in the sidebar next to Hiring, for owners and admins on the Growth plan. It runs W-2 and 1099 payroll inside PortaPro. A licensed payroll partner processes the paychecks, direct deposits and payroll tax filings; you do the work in PortaPro, and the Payroll screen names the partner.
Beta: rolling out in stages
Payroll is in beta. PortaPro turns it on company by company during onboarding. Until it's on for your company, the Payroll page says Payroll is rolling out in stages. Contact PortaPro Support if you'd like to be next. In the meantime, approved timesheets export as a CSV your current payroll takes (see Exporting Timesheets to Payroll).
Setting it up
Your profile needs a first name, last name and email before you can be made the payroll admin.
The tabs
Who can use it
Only owners and admins. Payroll shows wages, Social Security numbers and bank accounts, so dispatchers, drivers and mechanics never see the Payroll tab.
