What does Fourth's payroll and tax solution include?
Fourth’s payroll and tax solution covers payroll processing and reporting, tax filing and administration, W-2 administration, garnishment management, direct deposit, and on-demand pay via Fuego. Each customer is supported by dedicated payroll specialists, giving operators a named expert to call rather than a generic support queue.
How does Fourth handle payroll tax filing?
Fourth manages the full tax filing and administration process on the operator’s behalf — calculating, filing, and remitting federal, state, and local payroll taxes accurately and on time. This removes both the administrative burden and the compliance risk that comes with managing restaurant payroll taxes manually, particularly for multi-state operators.
Does outsourcing payroll mean losing visibility into our numbers?
No. Fourth’s solution is built to give operators control and transparency while removing the administrative burden. Payroll processing and reporting remain accessible, and dedicated payroll specialists are available to answer questions and provide support — so operators stay informed without having to run the process themselves.
What HR functions can Fourth manage on our behalf?
Fourth’s HR outsourcing covers payroll and tax administration, dedicated HR expert support, employee handbook and policy creation, leadership training and development design, Fair Labor Standards Act compliance, background checks and drug testing coordination, and access to Fourth’s applicant tracking software. It’s designed to handle the day-to-day HR administration burden so operators can focus on running their restaurants.
Does outsourcing HR to Fourth mean giving up control of our people decisions?
No. Fourth handles the administrative and compliance side of HR — paperwork, filings, policy documentation, background checks — while the operator retains full control over who they hire, how they manage their team, and how they run their business. Outsourcing the burden doesn’t mean outsourcing the decision-making.
How does Fourth help restaurants stay compliant with labor laws?
Fourth’s HR and payroll solution is built to maintain compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and other federal, state, and local labor regulations — including accurate wage calculations, overtime rules, and tax filings. With dedicated HR experts monitoring regulatory changes on the operator’s behalf, compliance stays current without requiring an in-house legal or HR team to track it.
How does Fourth's HR and payroll solution improve the employee experience?
Reliable, accurate pay is one of the most direct drivers of employee trust and retention. Fourth’s solution adds on-demand pay via Fuego (giving employees access to earned wages before payday), direct deposit, and benefits access — reducing the financial stress and paycheck errors that contribute to early-tenure turnover in restaurants.
How does Fourth's HR and payroll connect with scheduling and time tracking?
Fourth’s HR and payroll solution integrates with HotSchedules scheduling and WebClock time and attendance, so actual hours worked flow directly into payroll calculations without manual re-entry. This end-to-end connection eliminates the reconciliation errors that occur when HR and operational tools operate as separate systems — and ensures that what employees work is exactly what they’re paid for.
