Running a business means wearing many hats—but few are as crucial as making sure your team gets paid accurately and on time.
Whether you’re considering direct deposit, paper checks, or alternatives for employees without traditional bank accounts, it’s important to understand the pros, cons, and responsibilities behind each option.
It’s not just about sending money. Payroll involves tax withholdings, timely payments to the IRS, and precise recordkeeping. Mistakes in this process are more common than you might think—and costly. A recent survey by Ernst & Young found that 20% of payrolls in the U.S. contain errors, and nearly 1 in 3 businesses are penalized by the IRS for those mistakes.
The good news? You can avoid all of this by using a reliable, automated payroll platform like Beyond.
Beyond Payroll: Flexible, Smart, and Built for Small Business
Beyond Payroll gives business owners the tools to handle payroll efficiently—from any device. Whether you’re at the office, working remotely, or on the go, paying your team is just a few clicks away. Let’s look at some of the most helpful features:
Earned Wage Access (Pay On-Demand)
Life doesn’t wait for payday—and your team shouldn’t have to either.
With Pay On-Demand, your employees can access a portion of their already-earned wages before payday. Whether it’s a car repair, medical bill, or unexpected expense, this feature helps them stay afloat without turning to high-interest payday loans.
Here’s the best part for employers: Beyond fronts the cash—so there’s no impact on your cash flow. Employees can request funds easily through the mobile or web app, with supervisor approval in just a few taps.
Next-Day Pay
Need to run payroll last minute? No problem.
With Next-Day Pay, you can process payroll as late as 6:15 PM ET and your team will get paid the very next morning. It’s fast, reliable, and helps ensure you stay compliant while keeping employees happy.
This feature is standard with our 360 Plus plan and can be added to other plans for a small fee. Flexibility has never been so easy.
Beyond PayCard (Payroll Debit Card)
Not every employee uses or wants a traditional bank account—and they shouldn’t have to.
The Beyond PayCard is a prepaid debit card where employees receive their pay automatically each payday. The card can be used anywhere debit cards are accepted, including ATMs, online purchases, and retail stores.
It works just like a regular debit card—but without the need for a bank. This solution makes payroll simple and accessible for everyone on your team.
