How do I pay a contractor? 

 To pay an independent contractor, click Payroll on your main menu. 

Then, select RUN CONTRACTOR PAYROLL. 

Payments 

Choose when you’d like to pay your contractor(s).  

For each contractor, select how you would like to pay them. 

• Direct Deposit – The contractor’s paycheck will be deposited into their bank account.  
• Printed Check – When you submit payroll, you can download a copy of the check to print on your check stock. 
• Skip – The contractor will be removed from this payroll run. 

Please note, if you choose direct deposit, your contractor(s) will be paid in four (4) business days or on the selected payday, whichever is later. 

If you pay your contractor an hourly rate, enter the number of hours they worked.  

If you pay your contractor a fixed rate, adjust their payment amount, if needed.  

To add an additional fixed payment amount, click Additional Earnings. 

If you would like to include a reimbursement in the contractor’s paycheck, enter the reimbursement amount under “Reimbursement.” 

If you would like to add a note to the contractor’s pay stub, click Add Personal Note. 

Click SAVE & CONTINUE. 

Review & Submit 

Review each contractor’s payment method and total check amount. If everything is correct, click SUBMIT PAYROLL. 

If you paid your contractor(s) by printed check, review the total amount for printed checks and click DOWNLOAD CHECKS. 

The check(s) will be saved as a PDF file to your computer. Click on the file to open it in a new window. From there, you can print the checks on your check stock.  

 After you have printed your check(s), return to Workful and click CLOSE to review your payroll summary.
