At Check, we make paying people simple. In doing that, we’re not just building our own business— we’re building payroll businesses together with every one of our partners.

Payroll is broken. Come fix it alongside a team that’s as passionate as you are! At Check, you'll use creative problem‑solving, critical thinking, and grit to impact every business we build. We view problems to solve and jobs to be done as opportunities to contribute to the solution; we ignore conventional role boundaries in favorರ್ಣ the unique strengths and value each builder brings to our team and mission.

Join us if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and redefine payroll. Let’s simplify the complex, make a real impact, and create a better future for businesses of every size.
