The Opportunity: Building a Unified HR & Payroll Solution

Before launching payroll, customers used Eddy for hiring, onboarding, time tracking, and HR management but had to process payroll manually through external providers like ADP. This created frustration and inefficiencies: customers needed multiple logins to manage payroll, Eddy had to manually sync data between platforms, and payroll felt overall disconnected from the rest of the HR process.

It was clear that adding payroll would save businesses time, reduce administrative headaches, and create a more compelling product for new customers. The team decided to complete their vision for an all-in-one platform and build a native payroll solution.

Eddy wanted to offer payroll from the very beginning. We felt like it was the thing that would keep our product sticky and make it work for all the businesses we wanted to work with.

The Solution: Partnering with Check and Serving Larger Employers

Building payroll from the ground up is a complex and costly endeavor. After evaluating multiple solutions—including a deeper integration with a third-party, partnering with a different embedded platform, and even acquiring a payroll company—Eddy chose Check because of its best-in-class API, flexibility, and ability to scale. Eddy built a custom solution on top of Check’s APIs, relying on the Check team to stay compliant and accurate.

With Check payroll, Eddy has grown significantly and expanded their market reach. Eddy now serves employers with hundreds of employees. Payroll acts as the foundation for these larger employers and has enabled Eddy to move up-market.

Eddy has been able to focus on delivering value to customers and growing their business rather than worrying about payroll complexities.

We have been very happy working with the Check team and have had a very positive experience with the partnership. We feel a lot of support from Check, and they are genuinely invested in helping Eddy grow.
