Frequently asked questions

01How much of payroll do we still run ourselves?

Only the final review. Hours, raises, bonuses, deductions, and time off land in each run automatically, and Bolto flags anything unusual before payday. You approve the run, and Bolto calculates and files the taxes.

02Do we need an HR person to use Bolto?

No. Bolto collects new-hire paperwork such as W-4s and I-9s, prepares every payroll run for your approval, and its AI agents and compliance experts handle registrations, filings, and notices. When you do hire someone for People, they work in the same platform.

03What happens when we hire in a new state?

Bolto’s AI agents and compliance experts work out which agencies are involved, open your withholding and unemployment accounts, and start filing returns. You’ll see each account’s status and get an alert if anything needs your input before payroll. The Launch plan covers payroll and tax compliance in up to 2 states, and Scale covers all 50.

04How does Bolto handle tax notices?

Bolto’s AI agents read each notice and match it to the right account, and straightforward cases are answered or amended on your behalf. Anything that needs judgment goes to Bolto’s compliance experts, who see the full account history, and you’re alerted only if your input is needed before payroll. Every notice is kept in your compliance record.

05How do benefits work with Bolto?

Bolto isn’t a broker, so you choose how benefits are offered: through Bolto’s integrated broker partners, an ICHRA, or the broker you already use. Employees enroll in health, dental, vision, and 401(k) plans during onboarding, and premiums and deferrals flow into every payroll run.

06Can Bolto help us hire?

Yes. Bolto pairs each open role with vetted specialist recruiters and AI sourcing, with a dedicated success manager running each search. Pricing is success-based with no upfront fees, and the average placement fee is 10% of first-year compensation. Signed offers flow straight into onboarding and payroll.
