How Middesk works

Built with

Learn how to use the Middesk API and Dashboard to quickly request registrations from your employers.

1

Add a child account and company

To register employers for payroll taxes (SUI, SWH, and local taxes), first create child accounts associated with your partner account along with their companies. There are several ways to add child accounts and companies.

From referral links
From API requests
From the Partner Dashboard

Each partner account has a unique referral link to share with employers. Employers can self-sign up for the Middesk Dashboard using this link, and their account automatically connects to your partner account as a child.

2

Start a registration

After adding a child account, the next step is to begin a registration for payroll taxes. This can happen in several ways.

From the Employer Dashboard (initiated by the child)
From a registration request (initiated by the partner)

Child accounts with access to the Employer Dashboard can initiate payroll registrations on their own. On their home page, they can start a new registration, select their state and jurisdictions, and complete the intake flow.

3

Receive registration results

After the employer or partner submits the intake flow, Middesk completes the requested payroll registrations. The collected account IDs and rates are delivered in several ways:

To the employer
To the partner

Email and Dashboard. As registrations move through different statuses, Middesk sends notification emails to the employer. When a registration completes, the notification email includes a link to either the Employer Dashboard or a guest dashboard (a pre-authorized link requiring no login) where the item values are available.
