Payroll software FAQs

What is payroll software?

Payroll software is a tool used by Human Resource and payroll professionals to manage, maintain, and automate payments such as salaries to their employees. Stand alone or as part of a full HR software suite, payroll software accurately tracks and manages the variety of information related to employee pay and compensation.  

Administration of payroll is one of the most essential business processes that your company performs and therefore shouldn’t be done manually in spreadsheets or with basic, old-fashioned functionality.

If you would prefer an external team to manage your payroll, we also provide trusted outsourced payroll services, to businesses in the UK and Ireland.

How does online payroll software work?

Online payroll software works through the payroll process in the same way that manual payroll is run – without the time drain and with far fewer errors.

Once set up with employee details (which can easily be imported in) and company information added, your online payroll software will work through the various checks and steps in the payroll process in order for your people to be paid accurately and on time.
