About OnPay

OnPay is a US payroll provider for small businesses that keeps pricing simple: a monthly base fee plus a per-worker fee, with tax filings, W-2s and 1099s, multi-state payroll, contractor payments and unlimited pay runs included. HR tools such as onboarding, PTO tracking, document storage and an org chart, time tracking, benefits through licensed in-house agents, and workers' compensation can be added. It handles some specialised situations well, including farms, restaurants with tips and nonprofits, and integrates with QuickBooks, Xero and common time-tracking tools. A free first month is often offered. It runs in the browser with mobile access. It lacks the polish and ecosystem of Gusto, has no international payroll, and larger companies will find its HR and reporting basic.

Best for: Small US businesses that want inexpensive, full-service payroll with simple pricing.
