How do I get paid? 

When you start an assignment at Techneeds you will be instructed on how your weekly hours will need to be recorded. They will either be by recording your time on a Techneeds timecard or by using a record keeping system that the Company you are assigned to is using. If you need to use a Techneeds timecard, you will be able to access a new timecard by going to the Forms Section of our website under Current Employees.


Ways to transmit hours: We receive your weekly hours worked in one of two ways. The Company that you are assigned to may send your weekly hours directly to our Payroll Department on your behalf or you will need to send in your hours weekly using the Techneeds timecard.


If you use the Techneeds timecard your timecard must be in the Payroll Department by 9:00 a.m. on Monday. You can send your timecard in via fax to 603-893-7000, scan or email to payroll@techneeds.com or by U.S. Mail. All timecards must be filled in completely and signed by your supervisor. Any incomplete or altered timecards will be rejected, which will cause a delay in processing your weekly pay. If your timecard is not in the Payroll Department by the designated time, your weekly pay may be delayed. Your weekly pay will be issued electronically for Thursdays providing your hours are submitted timely.

PLEASE REMEMBER: It’s your responsibility to get your signed timecard here by 9:00 a.m. each Monday.
When will I get paid if there is a Holiday in the pay week?

We make every effort possible to get your weekly pay out on time. In the event of a Holiday during the current pay week, if we have your timecard by the designated time we will process your pay as usual so that it will be sent to your bank or deposited on your Debit Pay Card by Friday. You will receive a notice by text or email the week before a Holiday instructing you on any changes to the payroll process.

Remember: We are NOT responsible for your bank’s posting schedule.

Do you offer Direct Deposit?

We do offer Direct Deposit as a way to receive your weekly pay. When you do your Onboarding sign up paperwork you will be given a choice of having your weekly pay deposited directly into your bank account. You will need to sign the Method of Payment Authorization Form and supply us with a voided check or a form from your bank that contains the bank routing number and your account number. The signed Authorization Form and bank account information form must be received no later than the Friday prior to the week you wish your Direct Deposit to begin. Please note: we do not accept handwritten account numbers or bank routing numbers. If you have any questions regarding Direct Deposit, please call our Payroll Department at 603-898-3000 for assistance.

Do you offer Debit Pay Cards?

We do offer Debit Pay Cards as a way to receive your weekly pay. When you do your Onboarding sign up paperwork you will be given a choice of having your weekly pay deposited directly onto a Debit Pay Card. You will need to sign the Method of Payment Authorization Form. Techneeds will supply you with the Debit Pay Card at the time of your sign up. You will be instructed on how to register your card as well as some of the features the Debit Pay Card has to offer you. Please visit our website for more information on Debit Pay Cards. If you have any questions regarding your Debit Pay Card, please call our Payroll Department at 603-898-3000 for assistance.

Can I view my hours and pay online? 

Yes. You will receive a welcome letter containing your secured registration code. Once you register, you will be able to log in weekly and view your current hours worked and paid as well as your payroll history.

What do I do if I lose my Debit Pay Card or my card is stolen?

If you lose your Debit Pay Card or think it has been stolen, you will need to call Card Services at 877-474-0010 as soon as possible. Card Services will freeze your account to prevent any loss to you. You will also need to contact the Techneeds Payroll Dept. 603-898-3000. Techneeds will issue you a replacement Debit Pay Card. Any funds that you had on the old card will be transferred to the replacement card if available. You may not be responsible for any fraudulent activity that occurs on your card provided that you report the card missing in a timely manner, and have not shared your card or PIN number with anyone.

What happens if I need to change my Direct Deposit Account Information?

If you need to update your Direct Deposit Account information and you are a current employee you will need to contact your Recruiter or our Recruiting Support Specialist at (603-898-3000) as soon as possible to update your account information. You will be required to sign a new Method of Payment Authorization Form and provide us with either a voided check or a bank letter indicating the bank account number and bank routing number. NOTE: We will need to receive your updated Account information no later than Friday at 5:00 PM to be effective for your next paycheck being processed the following week. If we do not have your updated account information by that deadline, your next pay will go to the bank account we have on file.

Can I view and print my W-2 online?

No. We will mail your Form W2 out to you to the address we have on record as of the W2 processing time. We make every effort to have your W2 in the mail by the first week in January but no later than January 31st. If you have moved during the year, please remember to update your address with our payroll department as soon as possible.

When can an employee enroll in Techneeds Health Plans?
