Common questions

Straight answers.

Q·01

What counts as an ‘employee’?

Active W-2 employees on your payroll roster. 1099 contractors you run through Workstead count the same way. Archived workers don’t count.

Q·02

Is there a minimum seat count?

No. A one-person shop pays for one seat. If you grow from 3 to 10, you pay for 10. It scales with you — up and down.

Q·03

Is there a base fee?

No. Ever. You pay per person from your first employee.

Q·04

What happens when I cancel?

We give you a full CSV export of every payroll run, employee record, and timesheet. The tenant is wiped from our systems within 30 days.
