7shifts Payroll and Check Technologies

7shifts has partnered with Check Technologies to offer restaurants a streamlined and accurate payroll experience. This integrated partnership simplifies payroll processing and tax management, specifically tailored to the unique needs of the restaurant industry. 

Things to know


Note: 7shifts is your initial point of contact for any payroll inquiries. Our support team works directly with Check Technologies to resolve complex issues.
  • 7shifts serves as the central hub for data collection, while Check Technologies acts as the engine for processing payments and tax obligations.
  • Payroll costs, including net pay and taxes, are withdrawn from your bank account once the payroll status moves to Processing.
  • 7shifts and Check Technologies do not handle direct payments to third parties for general deductions (e.g., credit card repayments); the employer is responsible for remitting those funds.

7shifts' role in payroll management


7shifts is where you manage your day-to-day payroll data and prepare it for a successful run. This includes:

  • Automatically capturing essential data: time clock entries, wages, tips, and relevant deductions.
  • Providing a platform for employers to review and finalize data before it is sent for processing.
  • Enabling you to apply and manage custom deductions to employee profiles.
Note: If you apply a $50 general deduction for an employee, 7shifts will reduce their pay by that amount, and you (the employer) retain those funds to pay the appropriate entity.

Check Technologies' role in payroll processing


As the integrated processing partner, Check Technologies manages the technical financial movements and compliance tasks:

Employee payments

Check Technologies handles the actual distribution of funds, ensuring your team receives their paychecks accurately and on time.

Tax management and custody

Check Technologies manages both the funding and custody of tax payments to ensure total compliance:

  • Funds Withdrawal: Total payroll costs (net pay, employer taxes, and employee withholdings) are withdrawn from your business bank account during processing.
  • Tax Custody: Check Technologies securely holds tax funds until they are due to be paid to federal and state agencies.

Tax filing and remitment

Check Technologies accurately files employer state and federal taxes, employee withholdings (based on W-4 forms), and child support garnishments. These payments are remitted directly to the appropriate government agencies on your behalf.
