Taskade Genesis automates every step of paying contractors — from collecting their invoices through to verifying hours, approving payment, and sending remittance advice without anyone managing the cycle manually.
What Is Contractor Payment Automation?
Contractor payment automation handles the end-to-end process: contractors submit invoices, the system cross-checks hours against approved timesheets, routes the invoice for approval, releases payment instructions, and sends remittance confirmation — all on a defined cycle.
Why Use Contractor Payment Automation?
- No invoice chasing: Contractors get an automatic reminder to submit invoices before the payment cutoff.
- Hours verified automatically: An AI agent compares submitted hours to approved timesheet records and flags discrepancies.
- Consistent payment cycle: Reliable automations run the same process on the same dates every month.
- Contractor records linked: The Relationship field connects each invoice to the contract, project, and timesheet for a complete paper trail.
- Tax compliance: IR35 / 1099 status flags are tracked per contractor and surfaced at payment time.
Who Should Use Contractor Payment Automation?
- Agencies managing large pools of freelance creatives or developers.
- Construction firms paying subcontractors on project milestones.
- Tech startups with distributed remote contractors in multiple countries.
- Finance teams who want a single workflow for both employee payroll and contractor payments.
- Bookkeepers processing contractor payments on behalf of multiple small-business clients.
