Hourly co-founder and CEO Tom Sagi said: “I have seen business owners spending an entire day each week reconciling payroll, figuring out workers’ comp premiums and struggling with processing payroll. I thought, there has to be a better way.

“I wanted to liberate folks from that weekly ordeal, and with the incredible support of our investors, we’re well on our way to making employee management better for small business owners.”

S Capital founding partner Aya Peterburg stated: “Small businesses with hourly employees have complex and unique needs, which legacy, rigid and inflexible software platforms are underserving.

“Hourly is well-positioned to add another dimension of flexibility and expediency to managing that segment, and ultimately creates a much more efficient workplace.”
