### Frequently Asked Questions.

#### 01. How fast can I actually get started?
Most startups are live in under 10 minutes. Enter your company details, add your team, run your first payroll the same day. No implementation fees, no weeks-long setup. If you're migrating from another provider, our team handles the entire transition in 1–2 weeks.

#### 02. I'm hiring across multiple states. Does Warp handle that?
Yes. Hire in California today, New York tomorrow. Warp automatically registers you with the right state tax agencies, files quarterly returns, and handles ongoing compliance. You'll never touch a .gov website. All 50 states from day one.

#### 03. Do I need an HR person to use Warp?
No. Warp is built for founders and operators who don't have a dedicated HR team yet. AI agents handle compliance, tax notices, and benefits administration automatically.

#### 04. What does Warp cost for a startup?
Warp Pro starts at $35/person/month plus an $89 platform fee. That includes multi-state payroll, medical/dental/vision benefits, global contractors, 401(k), PTO tracking, and next-day payroll. No hidden fees, no implementation charges, no per-module upsells.

#### 05. Can you handle benefits for a small team?
Yes. Warp is a licensed insurance broker—we handle carrier negotiations, premium reconciliation, qualifying events, and open enrollment in-house.

#### 06. What if I'm switching from Gusto or Rippling?
Our white-glove migration team handles everything: YTD data transfer, state tax account porting, and benefit carrier transitions. Most startups complete the switch in under two weeks with zero disruption.
