PayHero

Looking for a Smart Payroll alternative? Here's why PayHero works


Expert support

Our friendly Wellington-based support team is available by phone or email to help you out whenever you need it.


Employee App

Stress-free payroll & employee app with timesheets, leave, expenses & payslip access.


Value for money

Unhappy about getting hit with a price increase? PayHero provides an affordable and honest solution for your business.


Take compliance seriously

PayHero was built to follow the latest Holidays Act guidance published by MBIE. We store annual leave in weeks and review recent work patterns when leave is taken to determine the right entitlements.


No sign up fee

There are no hidden costs or sign up fees with PayHero. Try it for free for 14 days then choose the plan that works for you.


Process pays on your terms

When you run a pay, you can transfer the funds with a POLi payment, or use our industry standard bank files, leaving you in complete control of your finances.


Digital timesheets and leave management for all

Digital employee timesheets and advanced leave management are included in every plan. Go paperless with integrated online payroll and timesheets.


Automatically update your accounts

Seamlessly send your payroll transactions to Xero and assign wage costs to different account codes or tracking categories.


Accurately pay variable hour employees

Track hourly work with ease and automatically calculate pay and entitlements for part time, casual, contract or shift workers.

We’re usually reluctant to endorse payroll software, simply because the cost of getting it wrong is huge. PayHero gets the detail right, at the same time as being exceptionally easy to use. In short, it’s second to none.
