Frequently asked questions

Download the app Download the app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. Roll guides you through the chat-based setup, which takes 15 minutes or less. That's it. You're set up. And, using Roll for payroll is as easy as sending a text — so no training is needed. Yes, it's that easy!

To get started, have your Employer Identification Number (EIN), business banking account, and routing number handy. For your employees make sure you have their name, address, phone, email, SSN, and hire date.

Easy — just chat "Hire employee" and Roll will guide you through the process and invite your team to join you in the app!

Under a minute! Seems crazy, right? But it’s not — because Roll gets to know your payroll and can predict and prefill the information for you.

Unlimited payroll means there's no limit to the number of payrolls you can run in a week, month, or year. Need to run extra payrolls? Go for it! Roll doesn't limit you, and we never charge you for extra payrolls.

Yes. Roll can pay anyone in the United States. We can even pay your team members who work and live in different states. In the age of remote work, this is more and more critical — but not every payroll provider can do this.

You bet! Roll is a mobile app. It's made for mobile because we know you're always on the go. You're welcome.

Employees can be paid by direct deposit or you can issue them a company check. Direct deposits will be available approximately 24 hours after payroll is submitted. Roll even offers a same-day pay option if you need to make payments faster (nominal per-transaction fee applies).

Absolutely. Employees set up with direct deposit will see funds digitally deposited within 24 hours, provided payroll is processed by 7:00 p.m. EST of the deadline date. Roll is also the only payroll app that offers same-day direct deposit or instant transfer, for a per-transaction fee. Same-day deposit is available for payroll processed by 2:00 p.m. EST on the deadline date.

Yes. Roll can pay everyone including W-2, 1099, full-time, part-time, and seasonal workers.

Yep, it’s one of Roll’s most popular features! Whether you want to pay someone before the next regularly scheduled payday, give someone a bonus, or provide a final payout to someone who resigned or was terminated, all you have to do is chat, “Run payroll” and select an “off-cycle payment.” So easy!

Anyone who is being paid on a regular schedule and whose payment amounts don't change from payroll to payroll. This includes workers who put in a set number of hours every payroll and workers who are paid the same amount every payroll.
Important: If all workers are paid automatically, you will not receive our standard reminders to run payroll.

Yes. You can simply choose who you want to turn on automatic payroll for. Once set, you will get "Payroll prep" reminders prior to the payment deadline date. We will pre-populate the standard hours/rate for workers assigned to automatic payroll. For the others, you can simply enter this information before submitting payroll.
Please note: If you don't complete "Payroll prep" (for example, if you don't need to pay any workers who are set to manual payroll one cycle), Roll will still submit your payroll for the workers who are on automatic payroll.

You can temporarily suspend automatic payroll. To do this, simply chat "Run payroll" before the payroll deadline date and select scheduled payroll (not off-cycle). From there, you have two options. You can either enter $0 or 0 hours for that worker, or you can tap "More" below the person's name and select "Skip" where it says "Pay via".

You can! Simply chat "Run payroll" before the payroll deadline date and choose the scheduled option. Then enter and submit your changes. This will override the automatic payroll, ensuring only one payroll is submitted.

Just look for the "Payment has been processed" notification that will be posted to your timeline just before the payment date.

You can always run an off-cycle payroll or chat "Reverse payroll" to request a void payment.

Yes. Just chat "Set up automatic payroll", select the worker, and enter their standard hours.

Easy! Just chat "Stop automatic payroll" and select the workers for whom you want to turn this feature off.

Oh yeah! Anytime. Just chat “Give Brenda a raise” (or you know, whoever it is you want to reward for crushing it!), answer a few simple questions, and boom. Brenda is one happy camper.

Roll can pay workers in a way that suits your business or industry. Standard options include salary, hourly, and contract. But additional pay types are available for the trucking/transportation industry. These include pay by mile, pay per diem, pay by the load, layover pay, stop pay, and detention pay.

We do! In fact, you can add cash tips, charged tips – or both to your payroll! Simply chat “New compensation type” to get started, then repeat if needed.

Cash tips are monies received directly from customers in the form of cash. Charged tips are monies received from charges to credit, debit, or gift cards. Both directly and indirectly tipped associates must report tips to their employer. All tips are subject to taxation.

When it comes to bonuses and raises, think of a bonus as a high-five for a job well done, and a raise as moving up a whole new level. A bonus is an extra reward for outstanding performance or hitting those targets and is subject to tax. A raise, on the other hand, is an increase in an employee’s regular salary or hourly wage. With Roll, you can easily handle both bonuses and raises for your star employees.

Heck yeah! Anytime. Just chat, “Run payroll” and decide if you want to reward someone right now (off-cycle payment) or give them some extra cha-ching on top of their regular pay. Either way, it’s a few taps and you’re done.

Payroll, of course! But also so much more. Explore all of Roll’s features, from payroll and tax filing, to intelligent assistance.

That depends on the type of tips you add. Cash tips are received directly from customers, meaning they will be taxed as reportable income, not regular earnings, since the employee already received them. Charged tips are monies received from charges to credit, debit, or gift cards. Since these tips are reported as regular earnings, they will be included in the employee’s gross and net incomes and taxed accordingly. Reach out to our Support Team with any questions.
