How employees can view or update their payroll information

If your employer uses Wave’s payroll feature, they can send you an invitation to create your own Wave account to view or update your payroll information. You can view your salary and vacation information, pay stubs, and tax forms, and view or update your personal information and bank account details for direct deposit. If you did not receive an invite, reach out to your employer. Learn how employers can invite their employees to Wave.

Once you’ve accepted your employer’s invitation and created a Wave account or signed in to an existing account, you can access the Payroll tab on your personal profile. If you have already created a business in Wave, you have to switch to your personal profile to view your employee data. You can switch to your personal profile by clicking the business name in the top left corner, then selecting Personal from the dropdown menu.
