Wave Payroll is Wave's payroll software that makes paying employees, contractors, and yourself easy and accurate, with direct deposit, employee self-service pay stubs, and seamless integration with Wave's accounting. It automates payroll taxes and filings—automatic tax remittances for US state and federal taxes and CRA remittances in Canada—and generates required forms (W-2 and 1099 in the US; T4/T4A in Canada). Available in the US and Canada (all provinces and territories except Quebec), it supports switching from other payroll providers and charges a monthly base fee plus per-employee rates with no hidden fees.
