FRIDAY

FRIDAY is an all-in-one payroll and HR platform engineered specifically for small business owners with 1 to 100 employees.

At its core, FRIDAY enables full-service payroll processing in seconds, supporting W-2 employees and 1099 contractors via direct deposit or check. It handles hourly wages, salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements while fully automating federal, state, and local tax filings including W-2s, 1099s, and quarterly filings. The platform extends beyond payroll with built-in time tracking powered by an AI-driven clock in/out kiosk, comprehensive PTO and time-off management, employee onboarding workflows, and integrated team communication tools. FRIDAY integrates seamlessly with major accounting software like QuickBooks and Xero, ensuring data consistency across your tech stack. Accessible from any device, the mobile app allows you to manage your team on the go. Whether you operate a restaurant, retail shop, salon, contracting business, medical practice, or growing startup, FRIDAY replaces spreadsheets, manual timesheets, and expensive payroll services with one simple, affordable, and secure application. The platform undergoes regular third-party audits and certifications, encrypts all data in transit and at rest, and maintains highly-available, horizontally scalable infrastructure with comprehensive monitoring and Web Application Firewall protection.

Full-Service Payroll Engine

Process payroll for W-2 employees and 1099 contractors in seconds with support for direct deposit and check payments. The system handles hourly wages, salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements while automatically calculating and filing federal, state, and local taxes. FRIDAY generates all necessary year-end forms including W-2s and 1099s, and manages quarterly filings without manual intervention. This eliminates the administrative burden of tax compliance and reduces error risk.

AI-Powered Time Tracking with Kiosk

FRIDAY includes an intelligent clock in/out kiosk that leverages AI to streamline time capture. Employees can clock in and out from any device, with the system automatically recording hours, breaks, and overtime. This real-time data feeds directly into payroll calculations, eliminating manual timesheet entry and reducing payroll errors. The kiosk functionality is particularly valuable for hourly workers in retail, restaurant, and service industries.

PTO and Time-Off Management

Manage paid time off, sick leave, and vacation requests through an automated system that tracks accruals, approvals, and balances. Employees can submit time-off requests through the platform, managers receive notifications, and approved time is automatically reflected in payroll. This eliminates the need for spreadsheets or manual tracking, ensuring compliance with company policies and state regulations.

Integrated Team Communication

FRIDAY includes built-in communication tools that keep your team connected without requiring a separate messaging app. Send announcements, share updates, and facilitate direct conversations between managers and employees. This integration reduces app-switching and ensures all team communications are centralized within the HR platform, improving workflow efficiency and team collaboration.

Restaurant and Hospitality Payroll Management

Restaurants and hospitality businesses with hourly employees, tip reporting, and variable schedules benefit from FRIDAYs integrated time tracking and payroll. The AI kiosk allows servers and kitchen staff to clock in and out easily, while the system automatically calculates wages, tips, and overtime. Tax filings are automated, and the platform handles the unique compliance requirements of the hospitality industry.

Retail and E-commerce Team Operations

Retail businesses with part-time and full-time employees can streamline payroll processing and time-off management. FRIDAYs mobile app enables store managers to approve schedules, track hours, and run payroll from anywhere. The integration with QuickBooks and Xero ensures inventory and sales data align with payroll records, providing a complete financial picture.

Contracting and Construction Crews

Contracting businesses managing both W-2 employees and 1099 subcontractors can use FRIDAY to handle mixed payroll types. The time tracking feature captures hours on job sites via mobile devices, while the system automatically separates employee and contractor payments. Tax filings for both classifications are automated, reducing administrative overhead for project-based businesses.

Medical and Dental Practice Administration

Medical and dental practices with salaried staff, hourly front desk personnel, and 1099 contractors can manage all payroll needs in one platform. FRIDAY handles complex compensation structures including bonuses, reimbursements, and varying shift differentials. The secure, encrypted infrastructure meets healthcare data protection requirements, and the communication tools keep care teams coordinated.
