Payroll settings

Settings > Payroll opens Payroll settings. Company Admins, HR Admins and Owners can use it once your company has finished company onboarding. Until payroll is set up, the page shows Payroll is not set up yet. Tax settings are covered in Payroll taxes, and Benefits deductions in Deductions. The rest of the page is below.

​

General settings

Custom pay types, Hourly pay types and Pay schedules each have Add new. Use a row’s menu to Edit an item, or to Delete a custom or hourly pay type.

​

Custom pay types

A custom pay type’s Category decides how it’s taxed. A Pre-tax earning is included in gross wages and subject to tax withholding, like a bonus. If your company has them, you can also choose Post-tax earning, which is added after taxes like a reimbursement, or Fringe benefit, which is added to taxable wages for FICA and Medicare only. If your company has recurring pay types, you can mark one Recurring and add it to an employee from their profile with Add recurring pay type.

​

Pay schedules

Only Company Admins and HR Admins can open Pay schedules. Each schedule shows its Name, Frequency, Payday and Status. When you add one, you choose how often employees get paid, their first payday and their first pay period.

• Turn on Autopilot to have Every submit payroll for you. A pay run on autopilot shows an Autopilot badge in Pay runs.
• You can’t change an existing schedule’s frequency or payday. To change them, create a new schedule.
• Turn off Enable pay schedule to stop paying people through it.

​

Authorized signatory

Choose a trusted person under Choose person. They sign your payroll tax filings, benefits enrollment and carrier forms, and compliance documents, and none of those can be submitted without a signatory. If your signatory leaves the company, the page warns you to choose a replacement.

​

Payroll and HR automations

If your company has them, the top of the page lists Payroll and HR automations you can turn on or off:

​

Import payroll balances

If you’re moving to Every from another payroll provider, select People > Migrate balances to import prior wage, tax and benefit balances for one quarter.
