FRIDAY

FRIDAY is an all-in-one payroll and HR platform designed specifically for small business owners with 1 to 100 employees. If you have ever felt overwhelmed by the complexity and hidden fees of traditional payroll providers like ADP, Paychex, or Gusto, FRIDAY offers a refreshingly simple alternative. This platform lets you run full-service payroll in seconds, paying both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors via direct deposit or check. You can easily handle hourly wages, salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements all from one intuitive dashboard.

Beyond payroll, FRIDAY automates all your federal, state, and local tax filings including W-2s, 1099s, and quarterly filings, so you never have to worry about missing a deadline. The platform also includes built-in time tracking with an AI-powered clock in/out kiosk, PTO and time-off management, employee onboarding tools, and integrated team communication features. You can sync seamlessly with QuickBooks, Xero, and other popular accounting software, and manage your entire team on the go from any device. Whether you run a restaurant, retail shop, salon, contracting business, medical practice, or growing startup, FRIDAY replaces messy spreadsheets, paper timesheets, and expensive payroll services with one simple, affordable app that puts you back in control.

Full-Service Payroll Processing

Run your entire payroll in just a few clicks. FRIDAY handles W-2 employees and 1099 contractors, supports hourly wages, salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements, and processes payments via direct deposit or check. The system automatically calculates all deductions and taxes, so you can pay your team accurately and on time every single pay period. No more manual calculations or double-checking spreadsheets.

Automated Tax Filing

Say goodbye to tax season stress. FRIDAY automatically files all your federal, state, and local payroll taxes, including quarterly filings, W-2s, and 1099s. The platform stays up to date with the latest tax rates and regulations, ensuring you remain compliant without lifting a finger. You receive confirmation of every filing, giving you complete peace of mind that your business is meeting all its tax obligations.

AI-Powered Time Tracking

Track employee hours effortlessly with FRIDAYs built-in time tracking system. The AI-powered clock in/out kiosk makes it easy for team members to log their time from any device, whether they are on-site or working remotely. You can review, approve, and export timesheets directly into payroll, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors. This feature is perfect for businesses with hourly workers or shift-based schedules.

Integrated Team Communication and PTO Management

Keep your entire team connected and informed without switching between apps. FRIDAY includes built-in communication tools so you can share updates, announcements, and reminders directly within the platform. The PTO and time-off management feature lets employees request time off, managers approve requests, and everyone see who is out of the office. This streamlines scheduling and helps you avoid coverage gaps.

Restaurant and Hospitality Owners

Running a restaurant means managing a mix of full-time, part-time, and tipped employees with varying schedules. FRIDAY simplifies this by handling hourly wage calculations, tip reporting, and overtime automatically. The AI-powered time tracking kiosk lets servers and kitchen staff clock in and out easily, while the PTO management feature helps you plan coverage for busy seasons. You can run payroll in minutes and focus on serving your customers.

Retail Shop and Salon Managers

Retail stores and salons often have employees working different shifts and earning commissions or bonuses. FRIDAY makes it simple to track hours, calculate commissions, and process payroll accurately every week. The integrated communication tools let you send shift reminders or policy updates to your entire team at once. With automated tax filings, you can rest assured that your business stays compliant while you focus on growing your customer base.

Contracting and Construction Businesses

Contractors and construction companies frequently work with a mix of W-2 employees and 1099 subcontractors on multiple job sites. FRIDAY handles both types of workers seamlessly, allowing you to pay everyone correctly and on time. The mobile apps let you manage payroll and approve timesheets from the job site, while the QuickBooks and Xero integrations keep your accounting in sync. This eliminates the headache of juggling multiple systems and spreadsheets.

Growing Startups and Medical Practices

As your startup or medical practice expands, you need a payroll solution that scales with you without adding complexity. FRIDAY makes onboarding new employees quick and easy with digital forms and automated setup. You can handle salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements for your growing team while the platform manages all tax filings and compliance. The secure, encrypted platform protects sensitive employee data, giving you confidence as you build your business.
