As a new 8x5 user and worker you will unlock predictable W2 income financed by your clients or by you.  

Step one: Connect your bank account or update your information with clients to make 8x5 the payee. You have two options here (completely up to you!):

• "Self-fund" your payroll by transferring money from your business or personal account to 8x5 on whatever schedule you choose to make sure you have enough money to cover your payroll amount (more on that later).

• Use a new 8x5 routing and account number when collecting from clients and put us to work on your behalf as a middleman and enforcer in the collections process

Step two: Set up direct deposit by entering your bank account and routing information so we know where to pay you.

Step three: Choose your payroll amount. This should be an amount you feel comfortable you can bring in on a regular basis. Don't worry - if you ever hit an unusually dry spell, you can enable our cash advance feature to float you until your next receivable hits.

Step four: Add your tax filing status and deductions, then click "Next."

Step five: Choose your preferred method to receive tax documents, then click "Next."

Step six: Review and confirm your choices, checking for accuracy, then click "Next."

Now you're ready for your first 8x5 payroll!
