HR software startup OnPay was inspired by the founder’s family payroll business
In 2007, Jesse Burgess joined his family’s payroll business. He quickly noticed that the six payroll clerks were getting bogged down by repetitive and monotonous tasks — and so he sought to streamline those tasks by creating workflow automation tools. Several years later, Burgess sensed an opportunity to bring the tools he developed for his family’s business to other corporate clients. In 2011, Burgess launched OnPay, a startup that develops payroll solutions as well as software to help manage HR and benefits.
Today, OnPay provides businesses with apps to assist with payroll deductions and taxes, manage teams, and select from health insurance, workers’ comp, and 401k plans for their workforce.
