7shifts Payroll Eligibility Requirements

Before enrolling in 7shifts Payroll, your restaurant must meet specific location, banking, and software requirements to ensure successful account setup and compliance.

Things to Know

• Your restaurant must be physically located and operate within the United States. Restaurants in U.S. territories, such as the U.S. Virgin Islands, are not eligible.
• You must use a single business bank account for all employee payments under a single EIN. For accounts with multiple EINs, each EIN can have a separate bank account.
• Time clocking data must sync into your account from 7punches or an integrated POS system.
• Your restaurant must have an active, paid 7shifts plan. Accounts on a free trial cannot complete payroll onboarding or setup. To resolve onboarding blocks, purchase a paid plan in your account setting.

US-based bank account requirements

7shifts Payroll, powered by Check Technologies, can only deposit payroll funds into bank accounts located in the United States.

Employees and contractors must have a U.S. bank account to receive payments through 7shifts Payroll. The system cannot deposit payroll funds into international bank accounts or send funds to financial institutions outside the United States.
