FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Expand allCollapse all

How does the 30-day free trial work?



Upon processing your first payroll, you can use Wave Payroll for up to 30 days,
commitment-free. At any time, you can activate to start your billing cycle and
gain access to items like tax filing and approving payrolls beyond the current
month. See our full US terms here, and our full Canadian terms here.

How do I migrate my data from a different payroll provider?



If you're switching to Wave mid-year, you’ll want to gather your historical
payroll data so that employee tax forms and pay stubs are accurate. You can
learn how to do that with this handy support article.

What if I want to pause my payroll for a period of time?



You can deactivate your payroll account at any time by navigating to Settings >
Billing > Deactivate.

Why is the base price different for some US states?



The base rate is higher in tax service states (Arizona, California, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin) because Wave automatically transfers
tax payments and files the necessary paperwork with your state tax office and or
IRS.

In self-service states (all other 36 states) Wave Payroll does not make payments
or file on your behalf.

Can I pay independent contractors with Wave's payroll software?



You sure can! Wave Payroll supports paying both employees and independent
contractors when you run payroll. The proper tax forms—1099 in the US and T4-A
in Canada—are also generated for you.

How do I run payroll for my small business?



We totally get it—running payroll for your small business can seem like a
daunting task, especially when you've got so much on your plate. That's why a
payroll software like Wave's can help ease the burden of doing payroll on your
own. We've also crafted a guide to small business payroll to help you navigate
the process.

Can I do payroll without software?



You technically can process payroll without using software, but this can be
risky, especially for employers who don’t have the time or accounting skills to
process payroll correctly. Mistakes and errors can lead to hefty tax penalties,
which would offset any money saved through DIY payroll processing methods. This
is why it’s recommended that small business owners use payroll software instead.

What are the benefits of using small business payroll software?



Doing payroll manually involves confusing and time-consuming calculations. Not
to mention the stress of worrying about making errors and winding up in a tax
audit (yikes!).



Payroll software saves you time so you can focus on the best parts of running
your business. And, in the long run, an online payroll software provider like
Wave can save you a lot of money by reducing human error so you can avoid tax
penalties (and who doesn’t love saving money?).

‍

When can I begin using small business payroll software?



You don't have to wait for a new quarter or year to start using payroll
software—you can start running payroll at any time! And if you’re switching
providers, you can make the transition easily by importing all the necessary
forms and information in just a few minutes. Check out our handy support article
to learn how you can switch to using Wave’s payroll feature.
