Let's start your alternative payroll software journey with an interesting fact. We have been developing payroll software since 1986 and released our first product (for DOS) in 1987 and Windows in 1996.
For over 38 years, we have been dedicated to assisting businesses with payroll. Our long-standing commitment to helping employers thrive reflects our genuine understanding of their compliance obligations and the ever-evolving requirements well before Single Touch Payroll became the standard.
We developed our new cloud payroll software, e-PayDay Go®, from the ground up and released the first beta version in December 2022 to a select group of customers. On June 15, 2023, we made the latest beta release available to everyone. In November of the same year, we began offering commercial paid plans. Since then, we have introduced hundreds of features and improvements and passionately continue our development efforts.
Managing payroll can be complicated, so it's crucial not to take its complexity lightly.
A common marketing ploy is to state that a product is easy. However, payroll is complex, as employers must first meet the Fair Work obligations and, secondly, the Australian Taxation requirements. It's essential to strike a balance between offering all the necessary features to meet legislative requirements and maintaining the usability of the payroll software, ensuring it doesn't become overly complex. We understand this goal can be challenging with the myriad of requirements, so we also provide external links within our solution that direct you to the relevant regulatory guidance webpages. We also offer telephone support with our very helpful team to assist in overcoming the daunting and overwhelming emotions we all experience when trying something new or stepping outside our comfort zone.
Are you still using desktop payroll software?
As payroll continues to evolve, ensuring that your technology remains current and offers a real-time connection to government services using the Internet is imperative. No matter what the marketing attempts to convey, not using an internet-based product may harm your business as an employer. There is no better example of this requirement than the recently announced Payday Superannuation requirements. You will get left behind if you use payroll software that does not operate in real-time.
When comparing payroll software, the upgrade options can be unclear, confusing, or restrictive when the number of employees exceeds a limit.
When reviewing the fine print of each offer, a pattern emerges if your one goal is to add more employees. Some products only provide options to upgrade to a plan that includes Accounting features, even if you only want to increase the number of employees.
We offer tiered plans based on the total number of employees. You can move plans up or down at any time your needs change.
We offer the first three employees free of charge, eliminating the need for a trial when considering our alternative payroll software.
If you only have three employees or fewer, you can continue to use the e-PayDay Go FREEPAY® plan. Unlike some offerings in the market, there are no restrictions on the number of pay runs that can be Single Touch Payroll reported to the Australian Taxation Office.
We want to share an alternative that we believe you’ll find worthwhile! While we respect the products mentioned, exploring our options should benefit you. Investing just a little time to evaluate us could lead to impressive savings. We can’t wait for you to discover the right choice for you!
Now, experience the benefits of our locally supported Australian payroll software, designed to easily meet your employer obligations.
