payroll platform starting point
One
Pay-As-You-Go operating layer

Pay-As-You-Go operating layer
01
Level 1
Launch-ready file rail
CSV, SFTP, or scheduled export workflow
A low-lift starting point where payroll data is exported securely and processed by PayComp's operations team.
Best for payroll providers that need a fast launch before engineering work begins.
PayComp handles intake, validation, premium reporting, and exception follow-up.
02
Level 2
Mapped automation
Recurring mapped fields and automated reporting cadence
Payroll outputs are standardized into a repeatable connector so recurring workers' comp reporting becomes more predictable.
Best for providers with consistent payroll exports but limited API availability.
PayComp maps employer, class code, wage, and payroll-cycle data into the reporting workflow.
03
Level 3
Direct data rail
Direct payroll data sync into PayComp workflows
Payroll activity flows directly from the provider into PayComp for premium calculation and Pay-As-You-Go reporting.
Best for platforms with stable APIs and partners ready to reduce file handling.
PayComp consumes payroll, employee, employer, and policy data through authenticated API rails.
04
Level 4
Embedded operating layer
White-labeled workflows and partner-facing controls
Workers' comp enrollment, status, reporting, and support moments can live closer to the payroll provider's own experience.
Best for providers that want PayComp functionality to feel native to their client journey.
PayComp supports branded workflows, partner dashboards, notifications, and embedded servicing paths.
05
Level 5
Enterprise infrastructure
Custom APIs, embedded eligibility, and bidirectional workflows
A full development engagement that connects payroll, policy, premium, carrier, and service workflows into one custom architecture.
Best for enterprise payroll providers building workers' comp into their product strategy.
PayComp engineers the integration model around the partner's platform, roadmap, and customer journey.
PayComp lets payroll partners start with the lowest practical lift, then graduate toward deeper data sync, embedded user journeys, and custom infrastructure as the partnership matures.
