Connecting Payroll Platforms and Alice: General Instructions

Please first click here to check if there are specific instructions for your payroll system.

If you do not see your payroll system at that link, please proceed to the instructions below.

To connect Alice with your payroll platform, you'll need to set up an admin account for Alice, similar to how you would for an accountant or the person who processes your payroll.


Please use the information below which you can complete on your own in just a few minutes. We will be happy to set up a time to walk through this on a zoom screenshare together if you prefer.


Please email our team at payroll@thisisalice.com, or respond to your onboarding emails to set up a time to screen share.

[1] Please set up an administrator account in your payroll system using these details:

  • Access Levels: “Reporting”, “Payroll Processing”, and "Full admin"
  • First Name: Alice
  • Last Name: Financial
  • Username: Aliceuser
  • Email: alice@thisisalice.com
  • Phone: 917-336-9115

[2] Then, please create two reimbursement and two deduction codes in your payroll. When you're done, you will have created an administrator account and four codes in your payroll.

Your payroll system may not require all of the fields below:
