How do I onboard employees for Payroll Processing?

Payroll Processing is currently in EARLY ACCESS.

Written by Jason Wiese

Onboarding employees to pay them through Xplor Payroll Processing requires three steps:

  • Syncing employees from Mariana Tek

  • Sending the onboarding invite to employees

  • Employee completes invite


Employee Sync

For employees to appear in Payroll Processing, they must be employees at Mariana Tek.

Navigate to Xplor Payroll > Payroll Processing > Dashboard.

Under Mariana Tek Sync, select Create in Check.

Place a check by email employee that you want to create in Payroll Processing > fill in the following > Create Selected Workers.

  • Type: Contractor W-2 Employee

  • Workplace: Studio location the employee works at

    • Only required for W-2 employees

This enrolls them into Payroll Processing and now invites can be sent out for them to enroll.


Employee Onboarding Invite

Invites can be sent to employees to submit their bank account information in order to receive payment. The invite link expires at 24 hours.

Navigate to Onboard Employees. From here, you will see the following employee details:

  • Name: Contractor or Employee

  • Email

  • Check Status

  • Onboard Status

    • Completed: Synced, and the employee has completed the onboarding invite

    • Needs Attention.Blocking: Synced, but the employee has not completed the onboarding invite, or verification failed

    • N/A: Has not been synced

To send an onboarding invite, click Actions > Onboard link.

Click Send Email or Copy the link and manually text it to the employee. Invites must be done one at a time and can't be done in bulk.

We recommend sending a message via text/email to inform them the link is on its way and that it will expire in 24 hours. Use the template below:

Hi [First Name],
You should have received a payroll onboarding link for our new payroll processing platform. Please complete your onboarding within 24 hours to ensure your account is set up in time for upcoming payments.


The onboarding process will take a few minutes and includes entering your personal and tax information, as well as selecting your preferred payment method.


If you have any issues accessing the link or completing the setup, please reply to me directly and I can resend.


Employee Experience

In the link, employees will be asked to complete the following:

  • Social Security Number

  • Address

  • Payment Method: Checking or Saving

    • Account and routing numbers

  • W-9 signature

Once completed, the studio can run payroll for the employee.
