Frequently Asked Questions
How do I track and allocate employee time to multiple grants or programs?
That’s a common challenge for nonprofits! The best way is to use a time tracking system that lets staff assign their hours to specific grants or programs as they go. This makes payroll and reporting way easier, and keeps you audit-ready without the spreadsheet chaos.
What do I need to know about payroll taxes and compliance as a 501(c)(3)?
Even as a nonprofit, you’re not completely off the hook for payroll taxes. While you might be exempt from FUTA, you’ll usually still need to pay Social Security, Medicare, and possibly state unemployment taxes. It’s also smart to keep an eye on ACA rules if you’ve got a larger team.
How can I manage employees, contractors, and volunteers all in one system?
You’re not alone—many nonprofits juggle a mix of staff, volunteers, and contractors. A sound system lets you organize everyone in one place with the correct permissions and tracking for each group. That means less manual work and more time for your mission.
