Lock In Your Payroll Pricing Before It Changes
The Diversified Payday Founding Member program recognizes the first 500 qualifying employers to build their payroll operations on our platform. Qualifying employers are enrolled automatically. There are no coupon codes, no promotional tiers to select, and no marketing sign-up to complete.
Once enrolled, your qualifying subscription pricing and included employee pricing are locked under the approved Founding Member Price Lock. Your Founding Member status continues through plan upgrades, plan downgrades, and Seasonal Inactive Status, subject to the approved program rules.
The Founding Member program is available only while enrollment remains open. Once the program closes, standard pricing applies to all new employers. Businesses that establish their account during the Founding Member window keep their locked pricing for the life of the account.
