HR & Payroll

Pay Your Team.
Without the Headache.

Gusto starts at $40/mo plus $6/employee. Rippling runs $8/user/mo plus implementation fees. BOOJEE helps you set up your HR and payroll software once — platform config, direct deposit enrollment, onboarding flows, and benefits integration — for a flat $698, and coordinates the tax registrations through your licensed payroll provider.

What We Set Up

Everything your payroll needs to run clean.

Six critical systems configured, integrated, and handed off to you ready to run. No guesswork, no missing pieces.

Payroll Platform Config

Full setup of Gusto, Rippling, or ADP — whichever fits your business. Pay schedules, tax withholding, direct deposit rules, and employer settings configured correctly from day one.

Direct Deposit Setup

Bank account verification, ACH origination setup, and employee banking enrollment flows. Payroll lands in accounts on time, every cycle — no paper checks, no delays.

Tax Registration Support (FEIN/State)

We help you complete your Federal Employer Identification Number application, guide state employer registration, and set up unemployment insurance accounts within your payroll platform. Filing and remittance are handled by your licensed payroll provider.

Employee Onboarding Flow

Digital I-9 and W-4 collection, offer letter templates, employee handbook acknowledgment, and first-day checklist — all automated so onboarding takes minutes, not days.

Time & Attendance

Clock-in system setup, overtime rules, PTO policy configuration, and payroll integration so approved hours flow directly into each pay run without manual entry or reconciliation.

Benefits Admin Integration

Health insurance, 401(k), dental, and vision deduction setup inside your payroll platform. Benefits elections sync automatically — no double entry, no enrollment errors at year-end.

How It Works

From kickoff to first payroll in days.

1

Business Audit

We review your current setup, entity structure, state nexus, and employee roster to identify every registration and configuration requirement before we touch a single system.

2

Platform Selection

We recommend and confirm the right payroll platform for your size, industry, and growth plan. No upsells — just the right tool for the job, with pricing you can afford.

3

System Config

Tax IDs registered, accounts connected, pay schedules set, deductions mapped, and integrations wired. We configure everything and test it against a dummy pay run before going live.

4

Team Onboarding

Every employee completes digital onboarding in under 10 minutes. We send the invitations, confirm enrollment, and run your first live payroll with you. You're fully operational.

Packages

One flat fee. No recurring agency markup.

You pay once. We build it right. The platform's monthly fee goes directly to your payroll provider — not to us.

Questions

Common questions, honest answers.

Can you set up payroll for contractors (1099s) as well as employees?

Yes. Both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors are handled. We configure your platform to manage both classifications and set up contractor payment flows so that 1099-NEC forms can be generated and filed through your payroll provider at year-end. We also include a basic contractor vs. employee classification review to help you flag potential misclassification risks; final classification decisions should be confirmed with a licensed tax or legal professional.

What payroll platform will you set me up on?

We work with Gusto, Rippling, ADP Run, Paychex Flex, and QuickBooks Payroll. After our business audit, we'll recommend the right fit based on your size, benefits complexity, and accounting software. Our recommendation is based purely on your needs — we have no referral relationships that influence our advice.

We're in multiple states. Can you handle that?

Absolutely. Multi-state payroll setup is included in the Growth package. We help you register employer accounts in each state where you have employees, configure state income tax withholding in your platform, set up state unemployment insurance (SUI) accounts, and account for local tax requirements (Philadelphia, New York City, etc.). Up to 5 states are included; additional states are $150 each.

What happens if we hire someone after setup is complete?

That's the point. Once your system is configured, adding a new employee takes under 10 minutes — they complete digital onboarding on their own device, their banking is enrolled automatically, and they're in the next payroll run. Your 30-day (Solo) or 90-day (Growth) support window covers any questions that come up during those first hires.

Do you handle FEIN registration if we don't have one yet?

Yes. If your business doesn't have a Federal Employer Identification Number yet, we help you complete the application as part of setup. It's typically issued in minutes when applied for online. We also guide you through state employer ID registration, which varies by state from same-day to 2–3 weeks — we account for that timeline in your setup schedule.
