Seamless integration gives small business owners an additional convenience: the ability to run payroll directly from your Vagaro Pro Web account.
Online Payroll Services for Small Business Owners Simplifies Payroll Processing
For small business owners in salon, spa, fitness, and wellness, setting up payroll can be a time-consuming source of confusion. Finding the right payroll provider and payroll solution can help your business save time and money. By automating time card calculations, sales, tax forms, local taxes, and calculating commission, Gusto and Vagaro make payday more streamlined. Small business owners in beauty, fitness, and wellness have traditionally had limited options when it comes to payroll processing software, because in service-based industries, pay types don’t always follow traditional structures.
Choosing the Right Payroll Provider Makes Payroll and Tax Compliance Easier
There’s no getting around it: Payroll and payroll tax compliance is tricky. Here are some of the hurdles small business owners face every pay period:
-
How your payroll is managed and structured must be compliant with your local, state or province, and country’s labor laws.
-
Accurate payroll set-up and compliance with required federal, state, and local tax forms and requirements.
-
US-based businesses must stay up-to-date on updates to IRS policies to ensure compliance.
-
Employees and independent contractors (booth renters) have different payroll requirements, so it’s critical to stay abreast of IRS policy changes processing payroll for booth renters alongside payroll for hourly or commission-based employees.
-
Offering health insurance, unemployment, workers’ compensation, or retirement benefits to employees comes with additional regulations and compliance requirements.
For many small business owners, payday might be a combination of several different pay structures, which can make every payday time-consuming, expensive, and subject to human error. Keep in mind, hairdressers, massage therapists, personal trainers, barbers, and fitness professionals are often paid as independent contractors, so making sure your payroll software is set up correctly for each employee’s payroll configuration is a business necessity. Gusto makes it easy to set up even the most involved pay structures with the correct tax and benefits withholdings. That means that every time you run payroll, you can be sure it’s accurate.
Vagaro Payroll Processing Services Save Small Business Owners Time & Money
In industries such as salon, spa, and fitness, full-service payroll is generally the greatest business expense.

Because payroll is central to your daily operations, finding an all-in-one scheduling software that can handle payroll processing from start to finish is crucial to building your business prosperity. With Vagaro and Gusto, you can save not only time, but money, too. All your bookkeeping, payroll, and tax withholdings (state and federal) can be automated and processed for a competitive rate that doesn’t break the bank and lets you focus on what’s important: your clients.
