Some companies choose to offer charitable payroll deductions as a way for employees to give directly from their paychecks. Here's how it works on Millie:
1. Employees Make Their Selection in Millie
Employees can select Payroll Giving when setting up a recurring donation to any nonprofit on Millie. This option appears in the donation method dropdown on nonprofit profiles.
2. Monthly Payroll Giving Report
On the 5th of each month, we’ll send your team a CSV report with all new or updated payroll giving elections from the previous month. This file will be delivered via email and can also be found under the Payroll Giving tab in your admin dashboard (visible to All-Access Admins).
🦦 Note: Your payroll team will need to manually upload this file into your payroll system each month. While this step isn’t automated, the file is designed to be straightforward and ready to use.
3. Company Is Charged; Employees Receive Receipts
Your company will be charged for the total payroll giving amount on the 5th of each month. At the same time, employees receive a tax-deductible receipt for their donation via email.
Your team can then deduct the employee’s donation amount from the next paycheck (i.e. on the 15th if you run on a bimonthly pay cycle)
4. Employees Can Manage Payroll Giving in Their Wallet
Employees can view and manage their payroll donations under the Payroll Donations tab in their Millie Wallet, including a record of all payroll-based transactions.
