Independent work.
Collective power.

What Employee Membership Gets You

Solo business.
Collective infrastructure.

The leverage large employers take for granted — group rates, compliant payroll, W-2 status — belongs to everyone willing to build it together.

W-2 Payroll

Semi-monthly direct deposit, every cycle.

Group Benefits

Health, dental, vision, 401(k), disability.

Full Compliance

FICA, 941s, withholding — handled automatically.

W-2 Status

Mortgages, leases, and loans made accessible.

Co-op Ownership

Earn $WORK, receive dividends when declared, and nominate candidates to the Board of Stewards.

Membership Tiers

Two ways to join.

Join the Co-Op as a Community Member. Upgrade to Employee Membership for payroll, benefits, and compliance.

Who It's For

Independent professionals who'd rather run their business than their payroll.

Opolis works best for S-Corp or C-Corp operators with stable, recurring income. You're not a customer — you're an owner. Every Member has a stake in the platform, a voice in governance, and access to employment infrastructure that Fortune 500 employees have taken for granted for decades.
