Turn Justworks payroll data into R&D tax credit numbers

Claimship reads payroll data from Justworks to build the wage expense numbers for your R&D tax credit study.

What Claimship reads from Justworks

Claimship reads payroll data from Justworks: employee salaries, pay periods, and department information.

This wage data is the largest single input for most companies' qualified research expenses. Claimship uses it alongside the engineering evidence from GitHub, Linear, and similar tools to figure out what portion of an engineer's salary counts as research pay.

Department and role data helps sort out which employees are engineering staff whose pay counts toward research expenses.

The evidence it extracts

Salary data builds the wage expense number

Pay by employee and pay period is the base input Claimship uses to calculate qualified research expenses for engineering staff.

Department data helps scope who counts

Justworks department and role data helps Claimship separate engineering pay from other functions.

Payroll history supports the study timeline

Pay period data helps place wage expenses correctly within the tax year being studied.
