Keep payroll clean and worker types distinct

This guide follows selected contractor profiles from Paycor into Wingspan for onboarding and pay. Keep each worker type clear so tax forms and checks follow the correct path. Contractor payables use contractor pay runs. W-2 pay uses employee payroll with withholding.

Track labor costs across departments

Paycor department codes tag Wingspan assignments and costs. Approved contractor work creates one amount owed. The contractor sees an invoice. Your team sees a payable. Each cost keeps its department code. Finance compares contractor costs with employee payroll totals.

Speed up contractor onboarding without chasing documents

Approved contractor roles in Paycor start onboarding in Wingspan. Wingspan runs required checks from the work template. It collects W-9 forms and insurance files. Paycor gets a simple check status in a custom field. Checks belong to a specific worker assignment. Passing checks makes a worker ready for that job.

How Paycor works with Wingspan

Paycor manages HR and employee payroll. This guide connects selected Paycor contractor records with Wingspan onboarding, checks, and pay. Wingspan calls each worker record a payee and supports Contractor and W-2 worker types.

Creating a worker record and sending an invite are separate steps. Required checks follow each assignment. Contractors use contractor tax forms and payables. W-2 workers use pay statements and employee payroll with tax withholding.

Paycor department codes tag work and costs in Wingspan. Approved contractor hours fill work logs. Work-log approval creates one amount owed, shown as an invoice to the contractor and a payable to your team. Finance gives separate payment approval.

Contractor pay summaries sit alongside employee payroll totals in your books. Payment status and references help finance match records.

Employee (Contractor classification)

Contractor (payee)

Paycor to Wingspan

This contractor workflow uses selected Paycor profiles to create Wingspan worker records, called payees. Creating a record and sending an invite are separate steps. Workers enter tax and payment details in Wingspan, and required checks follow the assignment. W-2 pay uses employee payroll with withholding.

Department / Cost Center

Engagement template and assignment

Paycor to Wingspan

Department codes from Paycor flow to Wingspan work templates. These codes attach to each contractor assignment. Project leads set up scopes of work with these codes. When contractors submit work logs, the codes carry forward. When you approve an amount owed, the bill links to the right department budget.

Onboarding Readiness Flag (custom field)

Requirement

Wingspan to Paycor

Wingspan sends a readiness status to a custom field in Paycor. It updates when required checks are complete. These checks include W-9 forms and insurance. Managers see if a worker is ready for work. Each check belongs to a specific worker assignment. Passing checks makes the worker ready only for that job.

Pay Data / Paygrid

Work item and work log

Reference or reporting

Approved contractor hours from Paycor fill Wingspan work logs. Approving a log creates one amount owed. The contractor sees an invoice. Your team sees a payable. Known amounts also enter through direct payables. Use one path for each cost. Finance gives separate payment approval. Employee payroll records stay outside contractor pay runs.

Department / Cost Center

Payable

Reference or reporting

Approved contractor payables link to Paycor department codes. You see a payable. The contractor sees an invoice for the same amount owed. Each line keeps the right cost code. Your team reviews the bill for project costs. You approve the bill before payment. Then Wingspan includes it in a contractor payroll run.

General Ledger Interface

Payment and deposit confirmation

Wingspan to Paycor

Wingspan pays contractors in a payroll run. It sends pay records to Paycor ledger files. We track our paid status. We also track bank deposit status. This status means the sending bank processed the pay. It does not prove the receiving bank posted funds. It does not stop bank returns. Your team records contractor spend next to employee payroll. Your books stay in balance while Wingspan pays.

Legal Entity

Tax reporting context

Reference or reporting

Paycor legal entity details supply company context in Wingspan. Your team links each company to the correct paying Account. That Account owns the payment and tax records. Annual contractor pay totals help finance review reporting. Company details do not complete a tax filing on their own.

Work Location

Requirement definition

Reference or reporting

Paycor work locations set the area for each job. Wingspan uses this area to pick checks for a work template. It adds local rules and insurance checks to a worker assignment. Passing these checks makes a contractor ready for that job. It does not clear them for all company work.

Integration workflows

01

Contractor setup and onboarding checks

You add a worker. You mark them as a contractor in Paycor.

A manager selects a contractor profile in Paycor. The details create a Wingspan worker record. An invite starts onboarding. The contractor completes the checks for their assignment. Your team reviews the required files. Wingspan shares assignment readiness with Paycor.

02

Work sign-off and contractor pay

A contractor finishes work. You approve the work on an active job.

A manager approves contractor work. Work details fill a Wingspan work log. A known amount creates a direct payable. Use one path for each cost. Approving a log creates one amount owed. The contractor sees an invoice. Your team sees a payable. Finance gives separate payment approval. A contractor payroll run pays approved payables. Pay status and summaries supply your accounting records.

03

Year-end contractor tax filing and review

Your finance team starts yearly tax filing.

Finance reviews annual contractor pay totals and checked tax details in Wingspan. Workers review their tax forms. Set one owner for each filing and match annual totals to contractor cost records in your books. Keep employee payroll tax reporting separate from contractor filings.

Plan your integration

Worker type and roster choices

Choose whether to manage contractor records in Wingspan or link them to selected Paycor profiles. Paycor placeholder records support department cost tracking. Keep worker types clear when setting benefits rules, and choose which approved contractor profiles sync.

Work review and pay approval steps

Your team keeps work review separate from pay approval. In Wingspan, an invoice and a payable are two views of one amount owed. The contractor sees the invoice. You see the payable. Approving a work log creates this bill. It does not send money. You must approve the bill before payment. Wingspan pays the bill in a contractor payroll run. Contractor pay stays out of employee payroll runs.

Ledger export and bank status tracking

Choose detailed contractor cost entries or summary totals for your books. Post each cost once. Wingspan shares payment status and references. Deposit confirmation means the sending bank finished processing. It does not prove the worker’s bank posted funds. Payments can still return.

How the worker lifecycle fits

Connect worker records from hire to pay. Choose the Contractor or W-2 type and keep the right checks for each.

Workers and worker types
Selected Paycor contractor profiles supply Wingspan worker records. Each is called a payee. Creating a record and sending an invite are separate steps.

Paycor department codes flow to Wingspan work templates. These codes attach to each contractor assignment. This keeps contractor work tied to team budgets.
Requirements and eligibility
Wingspan manages required checks on work templates. It also manages checks on worker assignments. It tracks W-9 forms and insurance. A simple status syncs to a custom field in Paycor. Passing checks makes a contractor ready for that job. It does not clear them for all company work.

Payables

Client invoices

Payments and payouts
Wingspan pays contractors in payroll runs. It sends pay records to Paycor. It shares our paid status. It also shares bank deposit status. This keeps your books in balance.
Tax forms and reporting
