Today EkaSetu builds the payroll file your provider runs from the same approved hours that were invoiced, and keeps the tax notices in view. Running pay inside EkaSetu, through a payroll partner, is planned.

Payroll preparation

A payroll profile, then a file your provider accepts.

Set the pay schedule, the provider and the earnings codes once. Each W-2 consultant carries a payroll profile. The export reads the approved weeks for the pay period and writes a file in your provider's import format; each format is confirmed with a real import when a firm first uses it.

Gusto, ADP Workforce Now, SurePayroll or a generic file; C2C and 1099 consultants are left out of the payroll file.

Preview and history

See the file before you send it, and every file after.

The preview lists each consultant's approved hours for the period, flags weeks still waiting for approval, and shows the totals. Every export is kept with who ran it and when, so a provider question has an answer.

Tax notices

Payroll tax notices tracked, not lost in a drawer.

Record each notice from the IRS, a state revenue office or a workforce agency with its period, amount, due date and owner, and see what is open. EkaSetu tracks them; it does not file or pay taxes.

EkaSetu Payroll Planned

Run pay inside EkaSetu, with a payroll partner.

The plan: W-4 and direct deposit details collected in onboarding, pay runs built from approved hours, shadow runs beside your current provider until the numbers match, then live pay through the partner. Optional ADP and SurePayroll connectors on request. No date, and nothing here runs payroll today.

Questions

Asked before a walkthrough.

Does EkaSetu run payroll today?

No. EkaSetu prepares the payroll file from approved hours, previews it, keeps every export, and tracks tax notices. Your provider (Gusto, ADP Workforce Now, SurePayroll, or any that imports a generic file) runs payroll. Running pay inside EkaSetu through a payroll partner is planned, with no date.

Which hours go into the file?

Approved hours for W-2 consultants in the pay period, with regular and overtime split by the placement's overtime status. Weeks still waiting for approval are flagged in the preview and left out until approved. C2C and 1099 consultants are paid through vendor bills, not payroll.

What would EkaSetu Payroll change?

W-4 and direct deposit details would be collected in onboarding, pay runs built from the same approved hours, run in shadow beside your current provider until the numbers match, and then paid through the partner. Optional ADP and SurePayroll connectors would come on request.

What about payroll taxes?

EkaSetu tracks payroll tax notices (agency, period, amount, due date, owner) so nothing is missed. It does not file or pay taxes; that stays with your provider and your accountant.
