Gig Worker Payments

Scale changes everything

1099 at scale

At year-end, every gig worker who earned $600+ gets their 1099-NEC automatically. E-file to the IRS with one click — 10 workers or 500.

1099 gig workers vs W-2 employees

ZiggyPayroll is built for 1099 independent contractors only. This is the critical distinction in the gig economy.

✅ ZiggyPayroll handles

  • • 1099 gig workers (Uber-style drivers)
  • • Freelance marketplace contractors
  • • Independent service providers
  • • On-demand workers (1099 status)
  • • Project-based contractors

❌ ZiggyPayroll does NOT handle

  • • W-2 employees (any type)
  • • Payroll tax withholding
  • • Benefits administration
  • • FICA/FUTA/SUTA filing
  • • Employee classification compliance

Consult a labor attorney or CPA if you're unsure whether your gig workers should be classified as 1099 or W-2. Misclassification carries significant legal risk.
