Why this, why now
After the recent tax cases, more salon owners are putting their teams on real W-2 payroll — the right move. But going W-2 means new rules and new paperwork: how each person is classified, how tips are recorded, what your handbook says, how payroll runs each pay period, and who handles it when you're not in the building. We handle all of it — the one-time build and the ongoing run.
Step One: We set it up
A one-time build, done right for your salon.
Employee handbook: Your rules in writing — schedules, conduct, pay, time off. In English and Vietnamese. This protects you in a disagreement.
Tip policy: How tips are recorded and reported — the piece that protects your §45B credit.
New hire checklist: A simple step-by-step so every tech is set up correctly, every time.
Payroll workflow: Your pay schedule and process are set up on your payroll platform, ready to run.
Classification & commission: Each person is set as W-2 or 1099, done right, and your split is recut so you stay profitable, with the §45B tip credit factored in.
Onboarding packet: Everything a new hire signs day one — W-4, I-9, direct deposit, and your policies.
PTO policy: Clear, consistent time-off rules that meet your state's requirements.
Manager SOP: Step-by-step instructions so your manager runs it the way you would.
Step Two: We run it for you
The part most owners want — hands-off payroll, every pay period.
Setting it up right is only half of it. Most owners don't want to touch payroll every pay period — so we run it for you.
Every pay period, we enter the numbers and run payroll, make sure tips are reported correctly, capture your § 45 B credit, and keep an eye on filings and deadlines.
Every quarter, we review classification, tips, and filings, catch small issues before they get expensive, and send you a short report on anything to address.
A compliant, hands-off payroll — without hiring a payroll person or learning the software yourself.
Where this fits
1. Payroll Compliance Review — we show you the right, affordable path.
2. Employment & Payroll Setup — you're here. We build the full system.
3. Managed Payroll & Compliance — we run it all year.
Why Vietax
We grew up in the nail industry and know how a salon really runs. We don't apply one formula to every salon — each recommendation is built on your salon's numbers, and explained clearly in English or Vietnamese.
Vietax Advisors provides tax, payroll, and business advisory services. Whether a worker may be classified as a 1099 contractor depends on the specific facts of how they work; we determine the correct classification for your salon as part of the engagement. Our handbooks and policies are prepared to be compliant and practical; for state-specific legal questions we recommend review by qualified employment counsel, and we're glad to coordinate. This page is general information, not legal or tax advice for your specific situation.
