Worker Payment Readiness

ONBOARDING

When creating a worker, they initially enter the ONBOARDING state and remain there until they meet all requirements for payment in at least one jurisdiction.

The employer must complete employment data, including classification and overtime eligibility, using the employer onboarding element to collect this information. Additionally, the employer can input other data such as tax setup or bank information into the system, or alternatively, utilize the worker's self-onboarding experience to gather this data.

READY

The worker reaches the READY state and is eligible to be paid through the run payroll experience once all required data for payment in the assigned work locations is complete.

NOT_READY

A previously onboarded worker may transition to the NOT_READY state if changes in their jurisdiction's requirements necessitate the collection of new data. Although this is an uncommon scenario, collecting the required new tax information will allow the worker to return to the READY state.

PARTIALLY_READY

A worker enters the PARTIALLY_READY state when they are ready to be paid in at least one jurisdiction but not in others. This occurs when workers are assigned to multiple locations and are only prepared for payment in a subset of these areas, often due to new assignments or updated data requirements similar to those in the NOT_READY state. Although possible, this scenario is relatively rare in the small business ecosystem.
