Agency Contractor Payments
Pay freelancers and independent contractors — without the admin headache
Agencies live or die by their contractor network. ZiggyPayroll gives you one place to onboard contractors, collect their W-9s, send payments, and handle their 1099s at year-end — so you can focus on delivering work, not chasing paperwork.

Missing W-9s at tax time
Scrambling in January to collect W-9s from freelancers who've moved, changed names, or stopped responding.
Payment tracking across apps
Paying contractors via PayPal, Venmo, wire transfers, and checks — then trying to reconcile it all for accounting.
Manual 1099 prep
Manually calculating who hit $600, filling out forms by hand, and mailing paper 1099s every January.
Built for how agencies actually work
Digital W-9 onboarding
Before a freelancer ever gets their first payment, they complete their W-9 digitally. Stored forever. No chasing, no follow-ups, no January panic.
One-click ACH payments
Pay any contractor via direct bank transfer. Batch payments to multiple freelancers at once. Every payment auto-logged with date, amount, and recipient.
Payment approvals
Set up approval workflows before payments go out. Review invoices, approve hours, then release payment. Full audit trail for every dollar.
Contractor self-service portal
Freelancers log in to submit invoices, check payment status, update their bank info, and download their 1099 — without emailing you.
Automatic 1099 generation
At year-end, ZiggyPayroll generates 1099-NEC forms for every contractor you paid $600+. E-file to the IRS via Tax1099 integration.
Contractor spend reporting
See exactly what you paid each contractor, by month or by project. Export to CSV for your bookkeeper or accounting software.
Agencies that use ZiggyPayroll
Important: ZiggyPayroll is for 1099 independent contractors only. If your agency has W-2 employees, use ZiggyPayroll for contractors and a separate payroll tool (like Gusto or ADP) for employees.
