A month as an Employee Member.
Your salary is divided across 24 semi-monthly cycles. Each invoice covers Gross Wages, Employer Taxes, Benefit Premiums, and the 1% cooperative fee.
Invoice clients
Bill normally through your S-Corp. Your hours, clients, rates, and worksite are entirely yours — Opolis handles the employer-of-record payroll infrastructure.
Invoice & payment automated
Opolis sends a semi-monthly invoice to your S-Corp and the ACH drafts automatically. Members can also fund payroll from crypto income.
Opolis processes payroll
Federal, state, and local taxes withheld. Benefit premiums and the 1% co-op fee deducted. Net pay calculated.
Net pay deposited
Direct deposit on the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month. Members may elect to receive a portion in crypto. Benefits run automatically in the background.
Bonus paychecks: Members can schedule up to 24 additional payroll runs per year on demand.
