Scheduling Owner’s draws in Justworks is simple. Click Pay, then "Make a payment > Domestic and scroll down to the "Owner’s Draw" option.
On the next screen, select the pay date — you'll see which day funds will be debited from your company's bank account. You'll also choose whether this payment should have all benefit deductions, only 401(k) deductions, or no deductions applied. Then, select recipients and enter the amount each person should receive.
Only members listed as Unpaid Owners or Paid Owners will appear as eligible recipients, so make sure they're marked correctly in Justworks.
Keep in mind that owner’s draws are not taxed, so the recipients you’ve selected will receive that entire amount, less any deductions you may have applied.
Please note, owner’s draws are included as eligible compensation for paid owners who have a 401(k) through Justworks’ MEP with Empower. If the owner does not want deductions applied to the payment, they'll need to change your deferral amount to $0.00 prior to the payment being scheduled.
Once you review and submit, you'll see a confirmation page. This page will let you know when your company’s bank account will be debited for this payment, as well as the last time you’ll be able to cancel or edit the payment. Admins with Make Payments permissions will also receive an email confirmation of the payment being successfully submitted.
