Full-Service Payroll Processing

Run payroll for your entire team in seconds. FRIDAY handles W-2 employees and 1099 contractors, supporting hourly wages, salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements. Payments can be made via direct deposit or check. The system automatically calculates and files federal, state, and local taxes, including W-2s, 1099s, and quarterly filings, removing the headache of manual tax compliance and reducing the risk of errors.

AI-Powered Time Tracking Kiosk

Eliminate manual timesheets with FRIDAY's built-in time tracking feature. The AI-powered clock in/out kiosk allows employees to easily log their hours from any device. This feature provides real-time visibility into labor costs, simplifies payroll calculations for hourly workers, and ensures accurate time records for billing and compliance. It is designed to be intuitive and straightforward for both managers and employees.

Integrated PTO and Time-Off Management

Simplify the process of requesting, approving, and tracking time off. FRIDAY provides a centralized system for managing PTO, sick leave, and other absences. Employees can submit requests directly through the platform, and managers can approve or deny them with a single click. The system automatically tracks balances, enforces company policies, and integrates with payroll to ensure accurate deductions and payments.

Seamless Accounting and Communication Tools

FRIDAY integrates directly with popular accounting software like QuickBooks and Xero, ensuring your financial data is always synchronized. This eliminates the need for manual data entry and reduces the risk of reconciliation errors. Additionally, the platform includes built-in team communication tools, allowing you to send company-wide announcements, share documents, and keep everyone informed without relying on separate, disjointed apps.

Streamlining Payroll for a Growing Restaurant

A restaurant owner with 30 hourly employees, servers, and kitchen staff can use FRIDAY to run payroll in minutes. The time tracking kiosk allows staff to clock in and out from a tablet. The system automatically calculates tips, overtime, and hourly wages. FRIDAY handles all tax filings, from FICA to local hospitality taxes, and syncs the data with QuickBooks, freeing the owner from late-night spreadsheet work.

Managing a Remote Team of Contractors

A digital marketing agency with a mix of W-2 employees and 1099 contractors across multiple states can rely on FRIDAY. The platform handles different pay schedules and tax requirements for each worker type. Contractors can submit invoices or be paid on a set schedule. FRIDAY automates the generation of 1099-NEC forms at year-end and manages multi-state tax registrations, ensuring compliance without the administrative burden.

Simplifying HR for a Retail Shop

A boutique retail store with 15 part-time and full-time employees can use FRIDAY to manage the entire employee lifecycle. New hires can complete onboarding documents digitally. Employees use the mobile app to request time off, which managers approve instantly. The system tracks PTO balances and integrates with payroll to ensure accurate paychecks. This eliminates the need for paper forms and manual tracking.

Coordinating a Construction Crew

A general contractor with a crew of 20 workers on different job sites can use FRIDAY's mobile and kiosk features. Workers can clock in and out from their phones at each site, and the system tracks hours by project. The contractor runs payroll for both hourly workers and salaried project managers, including bonuses for completed phases. FRIDAY handles certified payroll reporting requirements and integrates with Xero for job costing.
