Three steps to stress-free payroll.
Use Nest on a desktop or laptop browser, mobile web, or iPhone. The employee app and timesheets are included in every plan.
Sign up and add your employee
Create your account on the web or in the iPhone app and authorize Nest Payroll to handle your tax work. Add your employee's details, set their pay rate, and configure vacation and sick time tracking. You can invite your employee to enter their details, or do it yourself.
Review hours and run payroll
Enter hours yourself or review timesheets submitted through the employee app. You review and approve payroll; Nest calculates wages and taxes and generates professional pay stubs. Pay wages using Cash App, Venmo, check, or your own bank transfer. Recurring pay stubs help simplify a regular schedule.
Our tax team handles the required tax work
Our tax team handles required federal and state tax account setup, applicable tax payments, and quarterly and annual filings. We prepare and file W-2s and W-3 and provide a signature-ready Schedule H. Year-end tax documents are included at no extra charge when your subscription is active at January processing.
