How do I onboard employees for Payroll Processing?

Sync employees from Mariana Tek, send onboarding invites, and track onboarding completion for Payroll Processing.

Written by Luna

Onboarding employees to pay them through Xplor Payroll Processing requires three steps:

  • Syncing employees from Mariana Tek

  • Sending the onboarding invite to employees

  • Employee completes the invite


Employee Sync

For employees to appear in Payroll Processing, they must be employees at Mariana Tek.

Navigate to Xplor Payroll > Payroll Processing > Dashboard.

Under Mariana Tek Sync, select Create in Check.

Place a check by email for the employee that you want to create in Payroll Processing > fill in the following > Create Selected Workers.

  • Type: Contractor W-2 Employee

  • Workplace: Studio location where the employee works

    • Only required for W-2 employees

This enrolls them into Payroll Processing, and now invites can be sent out for them to enroll.


Employee Onboarding Invite

You can send invites to employees to submit their bank account information to receive payment. The invite link expires in 24 hours.

Navigate to Onboard Employees. From here, you will see the following employee details:

  • Name: Contractor or Employee

  • Email

  • Check Status

  • Onboard Status

    • Completed: Synced, and the employee has completed the onboarding invite

    • Needs Attention. Blocking: Synced, but the employee has not completed the onboarding invite, or verification failed

    • N/A: Has not been synced

To send an onboarding invite, click Actions > Onboard link.

Click Send Email or Copy the link and manually text it to the employee. Send invites one at a time; you can't send them in bulk.

We recommend sending a message via text/email to inform them that the link is on its way and that it will expire in 24 hours. Use the template below:

Hi [First Name],
You should have received a payroll onboarding link for our new payroll processing platform. Please complete your onboarding within 24 hours to ensure your account is set up in time for upcoming payments.


The onboarding process takes a few minutes and includes entering your personal and tax information and selecting your preferred payment method.


If you have any issues accessing the link or completing the setup, please reply to me directly, and I can resend.


Employee Experience

In the link, employees will be asked to complete the following:

  • Social Security Number

  • Address

  • Payment Method: Checking or Savings

    • Account and routing numbers

  • W-9 signature

Once completed, the studio can run the employee's payroll.
