Employer of record for workers you have found

You have found the people you want. Alto puts them on our payroll and handles onboarding, pay and employment records, while you direct the work.

When employer of record makes sense

Sometimes you have found the right person but do not want to add them to your own payroll: a seasonal hire, a short project, or a worker you want to try before committing. Alto puts them on our payroll and handles onboarding, pay, tax withholding and employment records, while you direct the work day to day.

Every worker still completes eligibility checks and onboarding paperwork with us before their first shift, the same as any Alto associate.

What you get

  • Keep the people you chose

    The worker you found starts on the schedule you want.

  • Less employer admin

    Onboarding, pay, withholding, W-2s and records handled by Alto.

  • Coverage in place

    Workers’ compensation coverage for the workers we employ.

  • Flexible length

    Useful for a season, a project or a trial before you hire directly.

What Alto handles

  • Onboarding paperwork, including I-9 employment eligibility checks
  • Payroll every two weeks, tax withholding and year-end W-2 forms
  • Workers’ compensation coverage for the workers we employ
  • Employment records kept ready for review
  • A local contact for pay and paperwork questions

Common uses

  • Seasonal hires you recruited yourself
  • Short-term or project roles
  • Trying a worker before adding them to your payroll
  • Businesses without their own HR administration

How it works

  1. Step 1: Introduce the workers

    Who they are, the role, the pay and the start date.

  2. Step 2: We onboard them

    Paperwork, eligibility checks and payroll set-up before the first shift.

  3. Step 3: They work, we run pay

    You direct the work; we handle pay, tax forms and records each cycle.

Common questions

Can we later hire the worker ourselves?

Yes. Terms for moving a worker onto your own payroll are agreed at the start.

Who directs the work?

You do. You decide the tasks and the schedule at your site. Alto handles the employment side: pay, tax forms, onboarding and records.
