FRIDAY is committed to making payroll and HR simpler, more reliable, and more secure, so small business owners can focus on what matters most: growing their business.

Payroll in Minutes

Run full-service payroll in seconds for W-2 employees and 1099 contractors. The system handles hourly wages, salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements with ease. All tax filings, including federal, state, and local taxes, W-2s, 1099s, and quarterly reports, are automated, reducing manual errors and saving time. Payments are made via direct deposit or check, and the platform integrates smoothly with accounting software like QuickBooks and Xero, ensuring your financial data stays synchronized.

AI-Powered Time Tracking

FRIDAY includes a built-in time tracking system with an AI-powered clock in/out kiosk. This feature allows employees to clock in and out from any device, with the AI ensuring accuracy and preventing time theft. Real-time tracking provides business owners with instant visibility into hours worked, overtime, and labor costs. The system integrates directly with payroll, so hours are automatically calculated and applied to paychecks, eliminating the need for manual timesheet entry and reducing administrative overhead.

PTO and Time-Off Management

Manage paid time off, sick leave, and other absences directly within the platform. Employees can request time off through the app, and managers can approve or deny requests with a single click. The system automatically tracks accruals, balances, and usage, providing a clear overview of team availability. This feature streamlines the approval process, reduces scheduling conflicts, and ensures compliance with company policies and labor laws, all while keeping everyone informed.

Integrated Team Communication

FRIDAY includes a built-in communication tool that keeps your team connected without switching between apps. Share announcements, send direct messages, and collaborate on tasks in real time. This feature is designed to reduce email clutter and improve response times, fostering a more cohesive and efficient work environment. Because it is integrated with payroll and HR data, you can also send targeted messages to specific groups, such as all hourly employees or a particular department.

Restaurant and Hospitality Management

Restaurants, cafes, and bars often struggle with managing hourly staff, fluctuating schedules, and tip reporting. FRIDAY simplifies this by combining time tracking, payroll, and communication into one platform. The AI-powered kiosk allows staff to clock in and out from a tablet or phone, while the system automatically calculates wages, overtime, and tips. Payroll runs in seconds, and tax filings are automated, freeing owners to focus on customer service and operations. The integrated communication tool also helps coordinate shift changes and announcements quickly.

Retail and Salon Operations

Retail shops and salons benefit from FRIDAY's ability to handle both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors, such as stylists or booth renters. The platform manages hourly wages, commissions, and bonuses with ease. Time tracking ensures accurate pay for part-time and seasonal staff, while PTO management helps with scheduling. The seamless integration with accounting software like QuickBooks keeps financial records up to date, and the mobile app allows owners to approve timesheets and run payroll from anywhere, whether on the sales floor or at home.

Contracting and Construction Businesses

Contractors and construction companies often have a mix of employees and subcontractors working on multiple job sites. FRIDAY supports both groups, paying W-2 employees and 1099 contractors via direct deposit or check. The time tracking feature can be used to log hours by project or job site, providing valuable data for job costing and billing. Automated tax filings handle the complex requirements of multiple states and localities. The platform's reliability and live support ensure that payroll runs smoothly, even during busy seasons.

Growing Startups and Medical Practices

Startups and medical practices need a scalable HR solution that grows with them. FRIDAY offers a simple onboarding process for new hires, integrated communication, and PTO management that adapts as the team expands. The platform's automated tax filings and accounting integrations reduce the risk of errors and free up time for strategic work. With 5-star reviews and top-rated support, FRIDAY provides the reliability and trust that fast-growing organizations need, allowing founders and practice managers to focus on their core mission.
