Get contractors onboarded — and paid — in minutes
You’re passionate about your business — that’s why you started it! But you may be a
little less passionate about the ins and outs of running payroll — especially when it comes to a 1099 contractor.
Payroll as flexible as your business
You may be your business’s only full-time employee, or you may not have enough work to justify hiring a full-time employee, which means you’ll likely want to use a 1099 contractor — sometimes called a 1099 employee.
The Roll app makes adding 1099 contractors (or full-time employees, for that matter) easy. Just chat “Hire employee” and Roll will guide you through each step. No training or tutorials needed. You’ll indicate whether the worker is an employee (W-2) or an independent contractor (1099) and answer a few simple questions.
Paying 1099 contractors in Roll
Just chat “Hire employee”. It’s as simple as that.
Add employee and business info
To get started, simply tell us who will be paid by Roll and if
they will be a W-2 employee or a 1099 contractor. Then enter a
few quick details, including their name and contact information,
as well as your Employer Identification Number (EIN) and
business banking account and routing number, and Roll will take
care of the rest!

you can run in a week, month, or year. Just chat “Give Sam a bonus”
(or whomever earned the boost), answer a few questions, and it’s all
set. Way to go, Sam!

“Roll is so simple and easy. Open the app on your phone, tap the bubble, type “payroll”, add in the hours, and you’re good to go. It even has a reminder that lets you know when it’s time to do payroll. That’s pretty awesome.”
FAQs
- How Does Independent Contractor Payroll Work?
- Independent contractor payroll involves hiring individuals under a contract, specifying terms, and compensating based on hourly rates or project agreements. Contractors manage their taxes, and no withholdings occur. This flexible arrangement allows businesses to engage specialized skills without the obligations associated with traditional employee payroll.
- How are taxes for employees and contractors handled differently?
- For employees, you must withhold income taxes, withhold and pay Social Security and Medicare taxes, and pay unemployment tax. In general, you don’t have to withhold or pay taxes on payments to an independent contractor.
- Do I need to file a 1099 or a W-2?
- A 1099-MISC is typically used to report payments made to independent contractors (who cover their own employment taxes). A W-2 form, on the other hand, is used for employees (whose employer withholds payroll taxes from their earnings).
- What forms do I need for 1099 contractors?
- Most 1099 forms are for individuals, and companies won’t need to worry about sending or accounting for them. However, Roll will send your contractors their year-end tax documents (1099s), and their payroll information is always accessible in the app when you need it.
