Can a Toast Payroll user have both a W-2 job and a 1099 job?
An individual can only have one earning code per position (and for any additional job roles designated under that position).
For an individual to have both W-2 and 1099 status, they would need to have multiple positions (i.e., work under two separate Federal Employer Identification Numbers (FEINs): one as a W-2 employee and one as a 1099 contractor).
Toast Payroll does not enable multiple position setups by default, but you can request this by starting a live chat with our Customer Support team. Chat is available in Toast Web and Payroll Web (blue support button in the lower-right of every page) and via the Support tab in the Toast Now app.
