Payroll is now officially in general availability! This is available to all child care businesses besides multi-sites & non-profits outside of California, Florida, New York, & Texas (we're working tirelessly to make sure these program types will be able to use Playground Payroll as soon as possible).

Folks who have switched to Playground Payroll were able to replace Gusto, ADP, Quickbooks, and/or Paychex as their payroll provider. Seamlessly pay your employees with our state of the art embedded payroll functionality. The platform automatically files taxes with local, state, and federal agencies, produces W2s & 1099s, direct deposits with deductions and tax calculations. You can also enroll in benefits and 401(k) through our automatic integration partners.

If you're switching from an existing provider, our team will even migrate your historical payroll data for you! You can get started under the Payroll tab of your dashboard or reach out to us if you have any questions.
