Thryv Workforce Center™ brings payroll processing, automated tax filing and employee recordkeeping into the same platform you already use to manage your clients and marketing, so you work from one login instead of juggling multiple apps. You can add Thryv Workforce Center to your account directly, without contacting a salesperson.

What Thryv Workforce Center Does for Your Business

Thryv Workforce Center™ adds payroll and team management capabilities directly to your existing Thryv account. Activating Thryv Workforce Center gives your business three core advantages. First, you manage your clients, marketing and payroll from a single login, no separate payroll software required. Second, payroll processing and tax filing run automatically in the background, reducing the manual work and risk of errors that come with tax season. Third, your employees get a secure, self-service way to clock in, track their hours and view their own pay information without needing to contact you directly.

What to Gather Before You Begin Setup

If you choose to complete the Thryv Workforce Center setup yourself, the guided self-setup process takes approximately 20 minutes. Before you begin, gather the following business information so you can complete each step without interruption:

• Business address
• Bank account information for payroll deposits
• Pay schedule (for example, weekly, biweekly, or semi-monthly)
• Taxpayer type and filing status
• State unemployment tax rate

You will also need the following information for each employee you plan to add to Thryv Workforce Center during setup:

• Full name and email address
• Hire date
• Pay rate
• Work location, if different from your primary business address
• Date of birth
• Social Security Number
• Federal and state tax elections, if applicable

How to Add Thryv Workforce Center to Your Account

Step 1: Open Thryv Workforce Center from the Navigation Menu

To begin adding Thryv Workforce Center to your account, click the Navigation icon in Thryv. In the navigation menu that appears, click Thryv Workforce Center. The Thryv Workforce Center overview screen will open.

Step 2: Review the Thryv Workforce Center Overview and Click Get Started

The Thryv Workforce Center overview screen displays a summary of what Thryv Workforce Center includes and how it works with your existing Thryv account. For a full description of Thryv Workforce Center features and pricing, see What is Thryv Workforce Center? To proceed with adding Thryv Workforce Center to your account, click Get Started on the overview screen.

Step 3: Confirm Your Legal Business Name and FEIN

After clicking Get Started, Thryv will display your Legal Business Name and Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) for you to review. Thryv Workforce Center uses your Legal Business Name and FEIN for payroll tax filing, so both must be correct before you proceed. Review the Legal Business Name and FEIN displayed on screen. If either value is incorrect, do not proceed, your Legal Business Name and FEIN cannot be edited from the Workforce Center activation screen. Once you have confirmed that your Legal Business Name and FEIN are correct, click Set up my Workforce Center.

Step 4: Choose Self-Guided Setup or Expert-Assisted Setup

After clicking Set up my Workforce Center, Thryv will present two options for completing your payroll setup: self-guided setup or scheduling time with a Thryv setup expert. The self-guided setup walks you through each required step in approximately 20 minutes and requires the business and employee information listed in the What to Gather Before You Begin Setup section of this article. For a complete step-by-step walkthrough of the self-guided setup process, see Set Up Payroll with Thryv Workforce Center™. If you prefer to have a Thryv expert guide you through setup, select the option to schedule a setup call and choose a time that works for your schedule.

What to Do After Setup: Run Your First Payroll

After completing Thryv Workforce Center setup, the next step is to run payroll before your next scheduled pay date. Running payroll for the first time in Thryv Workforce Center requires you to confirm your payment information and authorize the first payroll run. Thryv Workforce Center is added to your Thryv subscription at the point when you complete your first payroll payment. For step-by-step instructions on running payroll, see How to Run Payroll.
