Get help facilitating EARNS
We’ve made it easy for employers to submit payroll contributions
Employers that have registered with EARNS may choose to work with their payroll provider to administer the program. We’ve made this process easy.
The employer portal seamlessly integrates with many leading payroll providers, including Gusto, Payroll Specialties, and Quickbooks Online. And don’t worry: If you don’t currently use an external payroll provider, or if they’re not interested in an integration, the process to manually upload payroll contributions is quick and simple.
Introduction to Payroll Integrations
What employers should know
Once you’ve registered your business, talk with your payroll provider to see if they can help you facilitate EARNS. If they can help, simply add your payroll representatives as a teammate in your EARNS account.
Giving your payroll provider teammate access through the employer portal can also allow them to manage your employee list and process payroll if they do not require an integration. If they have an integration in place, this access may still be needed to keep your employee list up to date.
You can add your payroll provider as a teammate and authorize them to take action on your behalf. Check out this helpful article on how to add a teammate.
What payroll providers should know
We’ve made the process to facilitate EARNS easy and streamlined. Discuss EARNS with your client to make sure that they are in compliance with state mandated deadlines.
