Payroll sorted in minutes

I run a small business and needed payroll that would not take a whole course to learn. SimplePay was up and running the same afternoon and I have never looked back.

Payslips go out by email automatically and the employee self service means staff sort their own leave and documents.

Cons

A phone app would be a nice extra one day.

Perfect for small business

Honestly the easiest software I have set up in years. The help guides are clear and you almost never need them.

Outgrew it quickly

Cheap but you get what you pay for. We ended up moving to something with more depth.

Great value, minor wishes

Been on it a year and it has been smooth. Support is good and the price is fair, a couple of features I would still like to see.

Exactly what a small business needs

Straightforward and affordable

Been using it for three years for my little agency. It has grown with us and still costs next to nothing.

Middle of the road

It works for basic payroll and it is cheap, but the moment you want something a bit more advanced you hit the ceiling.
