What is OnPay?

OnPay is a cloud-based payroll and HR platform built for small and mid-sized businesses. It handles full-service payroll for both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors, including automatic calculation and filing of federal, state, and local payroll taxes. The platform supports unlimited pay runs, multiple pay schedules and rates, direct deposit, debit card payment, and printed checks at no extra fee, along with year-end tax form generation.

Beyond payroll, OnPay offers HR tools such as employee self-onboarding with e-signatures, document storage, PTO tracking with customizable accrual policies, and organizational charts. It also provides benefits administration, including health insurance brokered in-house, 401(k) integrations, and workers' compensation plans. OnPay integrates with accounting software like QuickBooks and Xero and with time-tracking tools such as Deputy and When I Work. Pricing is a single transparent plan rather than tiered packages.
