    The first three employees won't cost you anything, 100% free, including Single Touch Payroll (Phase 2) and Payday Super reporting! When you want to add more employees, it's as simple as choosing the plan that best suits your needs. We have always provided tiered plans, allowing you to stay in total control of your payroll costs and making management easy. We are aware of a few payroll products that offer the ability to add an unlimited number of employees free of charge. However, providing a comprehensive payroll offering costs a substantial amount of money to develop and maintain. We have asked our team to work for free, but they selfishly expect payment for the outstanding efforts they perform. Since 1987, we have continued to build comprehensive payroll solutions and do not want to provide you with a product that offers minimal features and functionality. After all, a standard is required to meet Fair Work and Australian Taxation Office compliance requirements. If specific functionality is missing, you must continually request features because you cannot meet your legal obligations.
  • Is support provided?
    Absolutely! FREEPAY includes 30 days of complimentary setup assistance and support. Rest assured, all our paid plans come with ongoing support and you can always count on speaking with a real person on the phone.
