Hey community members!   My name is Annie and I’m a researcher here at Square. I am conducting research into how you make decisions to purchase solutions such as Square and gather feedback on some new design concepts we're considering related to our pricing.   I am looking to schedule interviews the week of November 11th. These will be a 1 hour online meeting and as a thank you for your time, you will receive 180 days of free processing on up to $4,000 in card transactions.   If you personally make technology purchasing decisions and would be interested in participating, please use this link to schedule time to talk with me.    Thank you!

We use Gusto. I can pay independent contractors, hourly employees and commissioned employees on it. It does the taxes and new staff onboarding for me. Staff who need to clock in can clock in using the gusto waller app to track hours. Gusto talks to Homebase scheduling and a few other apps that track ours if you’re already using a different schedule/hour tracking platform. I own a spa and have only 5 employees but gusto makes it so we can offer medical/dental benefits. Life & vision too. Staff request time off on it and it will remind you of birthdays and milestones and when payroll is coming up.  I only have to go to square to track commission and tips but I think there’s a new feature for that. It constantly is adding updates. You can pay extra for HR add-on and it’s easy to reach a real person when you have questions.it even helped make our handbook and knows the state specific laws and regulations . I’m happy with it so far and I’ve been using for 2 years now.  [This post was merged to the Beauty and Wellness group from the "New Year, New Payroll: Why This is the Best Time to Switch" event by a moderator on November 21, 2024.] ...
