# Contractor Payments

Due to their different tax treatments, Contractor payments are handled separately from Employee payroll and off-cycle payroll.

Contractors can have two types of payment methods:

1. Direct deposit - Nmbr will deposit the funds to the bank account associated with the contractor.

2. Check - The payroll admin will be responsible for providing the contractor with a check for the amount of the payment.

## Create Contractor Payment

Payments to contractors can be added much like earnings are added to an employee. Contractor earnings will not be subject to employment taxes and other statutory withholdings.

## Payment Receipt

Once a payroll is submitted, we recommend including a pay stub ("invoice") for the end user to view the debit date, check date, and pay stub details. The payroll receipt should also be available on this final step.
