Card tips come from your POS reports and cash tips from what staff report. Both go straight into payroll. Tip reporting is $25 a month.

    Staff report them by the 10th of the next month; we put them through payroll and withhold on them.

    A credit for part of the FICA paid on tips. We check whether you qualify and claim it on your return.

  • Tip codes on W-2s

    Starting with 2026 W-2s, tips and overtime are reported separately. We track them separately from your first payroll with us.

Payrollquestions

Do we need to pay for payroll software?
No. We work in Florink, from our software partner, so there’s no software bill on top. No ADP, Gusto or QuickBooks Payroll subscription, and you send hours and tips to the same place.
How do we switch from our current payroll company?
The cleanest switch is on the first day of a quarter (Jan 1, Apr 1, Jul 1 or Oct 1), so one provider files that quarter’s 941. Mid-quarter works too: we load your year-to-date payroll and carry on.
Do you handle employees in other states?
Yes. If someone works outside Texas, we handle that state’s withholding, unemployment tax and new-hire reporting. The rules follow the state where the employee works. It adds $50/mo.
Do you handle 1099 contractors?
Yes. We collect W-9s and prepare and file the 1099-NECs. For payments made in 2026 and later, the reporting threshold is $2,000. The fee is $150/yr for up to 5, then $15 each; Growth includes 10 forms and Partner includes 25.
How do we know if someone is an employee or a contractor?
The IRS looks at who controls when and how the work is done, who pays for tools and expenses, and what the agreement says. Ask us before you hire and we’ll set it up the right way.
