We help make it easy to manage payroll across salary and wages, contractors, apprentices and everything in between. The simple way to sort your payroll.

Comprehensive reporting
If there’s an area of payroll you want to drill down on, you can. Simple. See timesheets, hours by project, leave balances, who’s on leave and when, who’s got too much leave, or not enough, and more.
Never worry about IRD fees or legislation again
We lie awake at night thinking about things like the Holidays Act, PAYE and new payday filing requirements. So you never have to.
Automated payments and calculations
Our smart tech automatically sorts payments to accounts once a pay run's approved.
