What to do for now: pay the team your usual way (check, bank transfer or cash) and record it. See TF-05. Everything else works today: scheduling, check-in, the team's total, and your payment history.

Why the new hire report matters

  • Many states require a report each time a business pays a new worker for the first time.
  • States use these reports for things like child support collection, so an incorrect report about a volunteer treasurer could cause them real trouble.
  • An organization isn't a new hire, so the report shouldn't be filed.

What changes when it's turned on

  • A Send button appears next to Record payment.
  • The money comes from the bank account you use for payroll, kept separate from your payroll runs and reports.
  • Each team gets a secure link to sign a W-9 and connect the organization's bank account. The person setting up the account will need their own Social Security number for a standard security check.
  • Record payment stays available for teams you'd rather pay yourself.
