Bitwage Hubstaff Payroll Setup

With the new Hubstaff and Bitwage payroll integration, managers and payroll administrators can set up automatic employee payments using their credit/debit cards/bank accounts. Employers can pay their employees on an hourly basis based on their time tracked, or they could set up a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly fixed rate.

Fees and conversion rates: 3.5% + $0.30 for credit card transactions, 0.5% for ACH debits, 0% for ACH credits, and fees starting at 1% for currency conversions.

Check out Bitwage’s blog post for more details on how payments are handled in Bitwage and the countries and currencies that they currently support.

To connect your Bitwage account with Hubstaff simply follow these steps:

• Set up an employer in Bitwage
• Set up profile accounts for your workers
• Link a credit/debit card (or bank account) to your Bitwage account
• Invite your employees to set up their Hubstaff and Bitwage accounts
