Payroll for 20-99 employees

Smartly payroll gives you total visibility of your team. Comprehensive reporting, accurate and faff-free payroll so everyone’s paid on time. The simple way to sort your payroll.

Visibility and comprehensive reporting
If there’s something to do with payroll you want to drill down on, you can. Simple. See timesheets, hours by project, leave balances, who’s on leave and when.
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.
Payroll is complex, but we make it simple for you
We do this by using smart tech to take care of all the complex calculations. Then automate all the payments directly to the IRD, KiwiSaver, your staff's bank accounts and more.
