Case Study: Level simplifies payroll and saves time with OnPay

How Level simplifies payroll with OnPay to free up time for its mission

Level, a nonprofit based in Austin, Texas, provides online education and job training for incarcerated people and supports post-release employment. As the team grew, founder Alex Wright struggled to manage payroll, tax filings, multi-state employees, and nonprofit exemptions on his own, and he needed a more affordable payroll solution with reliable human support. He turned to OnPay to replace a frustrating previous provider.

With OnPay, Level switched to a simple payroll system that handles full- and part-time staff across state lines, supports 501(c)(3) FUTA exemptions, and syncs with accounting software. The result was a much smoother operation: payroll now takes about 15 minutes, onboarding is easier, and Alex can focus more on the mission instead of administrative work. OnPay also provided responsive support and helped make payday painless for the growing team.
