For businesses with frontline teams – especially in industries like retail, hospitality, home services, fitness, and beauty – managing staff can be a logistical nightmare. Juggling disconnected tools for time tracking, scheduling, and payroll often results in inconsistent data, heavy admin burdens, and avoidable payroll errors.
That’s why we’re excited to announce a strategic partnership between Easyteam and Salsa. Together, we’re introducing a fully embedded, end-to-end workforce and payroll solution – built specifically for platforms that serve hourly teams.
This offering makes it possible to deliver team management and payroll, directly within your platform, without the need for multiple vendors, complex builds, or fragmented logic. From scheduling and geofenced time tracking to PTO enforcement and payroll – everything is seamlessly integrated.
Why employee data is the foundation for payroll
When your platform captures key employee data – like when and where staff work, how long they’re on shift, and when they take breaks – you unlock the ability to run payroll natively. That operational data becomes the backbone for accurate pay, enforcing compliance, and a stickier product that keeps users inside your platform.
But building the systems that power that data – scheduling, time tracking, PTO, and break enforcement – is complex, time-consuming, and outside most product roadmaps. Partners that launch payroll without these workforce tools quickly discover the gap: payroll simply doesn’t work without a strong operational foundation.
That’s why Salsa partnered with Easyteam: to give platforms a battle-tested, fully embedded foundation for team management and payroll. We’ve already solved the hard problems at scale so you can deliver instant value and stay focused on what makes your platform win. With one integration, you get a complete, production-ready stack that connects every operational workflow needed to run payroll without the heavy lift.
Inside the unified stack - each core module is white-label-ready and built to scale:

Example in action
Take a 30-person healthcare business: before, managers were chasing paper timesheets and manually reconciling hours before payroll. With this joint solution, employees clock in via mobile, approvals are automated, and payroll runs with complete accuracy. That’s hours of admin work saved every week – and fewer errors that lead to costly disputes.
The competitive edge
This isn’t just another integration – it’s a go-to-market advantage.
- One stack, one integration
Save months of build time with a truly embedded solution – pre-integrated, mobile-ready, and production-tested. - Disruptive bundle pricing
Get workforce management and payroll at a lower total cost than buying separately. Offer enterprise-grade tools to SMBs without the enterprise pricing. - ROI in 3–4 months
Cut manual work, eliminate payroll errors, and reduce support tickets. Partners typically recover implementation costs within a single quarter.
Higher payroll conversion
Owning the workforce layer means platforms own the daily touchpoints – creating a natural funnel into payroll and stronger product stickiness. - Fast implementation
Launch fully integrated time clocks, PTO, scheduling, and payroll in under two weeks – even without an existing mobile app. - Compliance built in
Breaks, overtime, PTO accruals, consecutive days – enforced by default, keeping businesses audit-ready and compliant without extra effort.
Built for platforms with hourly teams
If you serve industries that depend on shift-based, hourly workforces – this is for you. Platforms can now launch faster, with one integration, one contract, and one truly connected experience.
Most platforms are already planning for 2026 – now’s the time to get ahead. By starting the conversation today, you’ll be ready to launch faster, convert more payroll, and strengthen your platform’s position in the market heading into the new year.
