PAYING PEOPLE
WHO WORK FOR YOU.

Being built

A participant who grows starts paying other people, and payroll is where a small business first meets serious compliance: withholding, filings, classification and deadlines that carry penalties. It is also where the most consequential mistake in independent commerce lives.

What to know
Classification is the expensive mistake
Treating somebody as a contractor who is legally an employee produces back taxes, penalties and interest, assessed against the employer. The tests differ by jurisdiction and none of them care what the contract calls the relationship.
Contractor payments are not payroll
Independent contractors are paid gross and receive an information return at year end. That is a different obligation from payroll withholding, and conflating them causes problems in both directions.
What a commerce platform should not do
Run payroll. It is a specialist, heavily regulated function with jurisdiction-specific filings, and a commerce platform doing it badly creates liabilities for the participant rather than for itself.
Status
Not built, and deliberately narrow in intent. GRAJ computes and pays participant earnings and records what was paid; connecting that to a payroll provider so the numbers do not have to be retyped is the useful boundary, and it does not exist yet.
Where to go next
RETIREMENT FOR INDEPENDENT PARTICIPANTS.
Independent sellers, merchandisers, drivers and makers do the same work as employees and get none of the structure around it.
