Q: What are the eligibility requirements for benefits — part-time vs. full-time employees?

The cutoff for benefits eligibility is 30 hours per week. Employees working more than 30 hours per week are considered full-time and eligible for employer-sponsored health benefits through Every.

If you're hiring part-time employees and want to offer them benefits, you'd need to track hours to confirm they're working over the 30-hour threshold before enrolling them. Most venture-backed startups at an early stage only offer benefits to full-time employees.

Q: How do I reduce pay for an employee who wasn't available every day this pay period?

Go to Payroll in the side navigation, click on the current payroll run, then click Edit Pay on the employee you want to adjust. You can manually update their pay amount for that period.

Every doesn't automatically calculate day-by-day proration, so you'll need to calculate the adjusted amount yourself (you can use a tool like ChatGPT or a simple formula: daily rate × days worked).

Q: Do I need to pay taxes on my paycheck, or does Every handle that?

It depends on whether you're classified as an employee or a contractor:

• Employees: Taxes are automatically withheld from each paycheck by your employer. You don't need to do anything separately.

• Contractors: Every (or your company) does not withhold taxes on your behalf. As a contractor you are responsible for your own taxes, including self-employment tax if you're in the US. If you're based outside the US, your tax obligations depend on your residency and contract terms — we recommend consulting a local tax advisor or your company's HR/finance contact for your specific situation.

If you're unsure whether you're classified as an employee or contractor, check your profile in Every or ask your company's HR team.

Taxes and Compliance

Q: I received an invoice for "RA Essentials - DE / Registered Agent - DE, $150 Quarterly" — what is this?

This is your Registered Agent (RA) renewal for Delaware, which is required to keep your company in good standing with the state. Every manages this through its RA Essentials service.

Your Registered Agent receives service of process from the Delaware Secretary of State and tracks annual report deadlines on your behalf. The $150 quarterly charge is billed automatically via Alguna once you've confirmed the renewal.

If you're incorporated in New York (or another state), you may also have a separate RA Essentials subscription for your HQ state — that will be billed on its own schedule. Any questions about your specific RA setup should go to the incorporations team.
