Is Varetiq Payroll included in an accounting plan?

No. Varetiq Payroll is a standalone product with its own subscription and its own access roles. No Varetiq Accounting plan includes it, at any tier.

Can I use Varetiq Payroll without Varetiq Accounting?

Yes. Payroll can be subscribed to on its own. When you also hold Accounting, payroll entries post to the same ledger automatically.

What if I only pay contractors?

Varetiq Contractor Pay covers contractor payment tracking and year-end contractor reporting without employee payroll tax machinery you would not use.

Who can see payroll data?

Payroll access is granted separately from accounting access. Someone who keeps your books does not see payroll unless a payroll role is explicitly assigned to them.

Payroll software

Payroll software that is a separate purchase, not a bundled surprise.

Varetiq Payroll covers contractors and employees across four packages, with its own subscription, its own access roles, and published base-plus-per-person pricing.

Payroll is never included in a Varetiq Accounting plan.

Payroll is its own product, on purpose

Payroll is not a feature switched on inside a bookkeeping plan. It has its own subscription, its own packages, and its own permissions, so compensation data is not visible to everyone who touches the books.

Nothing posts before a person approves it

Every pay run goes through review before it posts. Wages, withholding, employer taxes, and deductions are tracked as real liabilities rather than a lump entry, so the balance sheet reflects what is actually owed.

Payroll entries land in the ledger correctly

When Varetiq Accounting is also active, payroll journal entries post to the same double-entry ledger with allocation by location, department, class, or project — no month-end re-keying from a payroll PDF.

Priced base plus per-person, published openly

Each package has a published monthly base and a published per-person rate, so the cost of hiring one more person is knowable before you hire them.

Packages

Four Varetiq Payroll packages

Start where your team actually is. Every package moves up without changing products.

Varetiq Contractor Pay

Businesses paying 1099 contractors without W-2 employees.

Pay only for contractors you actually pay. Contractor records, W-9 workflows, and 1099 tracking without employee payroll machinery you do not need.

Varetiq Payroll Fondamorce

Essential payroll for small businesses.

The core usable payroll package: employee records, pay runs reviewed before posting, and payroll entries that land in the accounting ledger correctly when Varetiq Accounting is also active.

Varetiq Payroll Gradigente

Growing teams with connected workforce operations.

Everything in Varetiq Payroll Fondamorce, plus approvals, native Varetiq Time, and labor coding across jobs, projects, and locations.

Varetiq Payroll Culmora

Advanced payroll controls for larger or more complex workforces.

The most complete Varetiq Payroll package, for organizations with layered approvals, complex allocation, and demanding audit expectations.

Tax calculation, filing, remittance, direct deposit, and jurisdiction coverage are confirmed per package and per jurisdiction before activation, and are never assumed from a package name.
