How does Heard Payroll pricing work?

The monthly fee is determined by the number of employees and contractors on the payroll for that month. The subscription fee is processed on the 3rd of every month.

Using Heard Payroll

Once enrolled in Heard Payroll, you will see a Payroll tab in the sidebar of your Heard account. We recommend that Heard users set up Payroll on a 4-day direct deposit speed to run on autopilot by activating Automatic Payroll within their Heard account. This enables you to set up Payroll once and automatically run on the cycle you set.
