Our Process: Simple, Clear, Effective
Whether you’re managing a small team or running a growing business, our Payroll Services are designed to take the stress out of paying your staff. We understand that every business is unique, so we customise our systems and processes to fit seamlessly into the way you work – ensuring accuracy, compliance, and peace of mind with every pay run.
Here’s how we’ll work together to get everything on track and keep it running smoothly:
Onboarding & Setup
We start by gaining access to your payroll systems and collecting all the information we need to get started. During this phase, we also map out your payroll process and ensure everything is in place to run smoothly.
Mini Payroll Audit
As part of onboarding, we conduct a mini audit to check that your payroll is set up correctly and compliant with NZ employment laws. This step is particularly important if you’re transitioning from a DIY setup.
Customised Payroll SOPs
We create a customised Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for your payroll process, complete with detailed notes for each pay run. This ensures consistency, accuracy, and efficiency moving forward.
Seamless Payroll
By the third or fourth pay run, we’ve fully streamlined the process. At this point, everything is running efficiently, and you can rely on us to handle your payroll with ease and professionalism.
