FAQs
What is a payroll work management platform?
A dedicated platform (yes, just for payrollers!) to centralise payroll operations, streamline manual practices and ensure good governance.
This includes payrun checklists, process documentation, workflows, approvals, obligation tracking and issue and risk management.
How does Paytools pricing work?
As a Software as a Service (Saas) platform, the Paytools pricing is simply an annual license fee based on the number of users.
How long does it take to implement Paytools?
- The average time to go live is 4 weeks from your initial kick off meeting
- Paytools assists by setting up your payroll processes in Paytools including structures, examples and timings ready for review and training
Does Paytools integrate with Microsoft Teams?
Yes! We recognise that payroll teams often use MS teams to communicate.
Paytools has an in-built integration to MS Teams enabling notifications and daily digests to be automatically sent to one or many channels. This helps the payroll team easily keep track of what’s going on.
What’s wrong with using Microsoft Office to manage payroll operations?
Don’t worry, there is still a place for our beloved Excel! But there are many inefficiencies and transparency challenges in using disparate spreadsheets, documents, shared drives, emails, chats and calendars.
The Fair Work Ombudsman is targeting inadequate record-keeping, governance and controls so bringing knowledge into one platform is more important than ever.
Do you connect to the payroll system and store payroll data?
No, and IT departments love us for it! Paytools sits alongside your payroll system as an operations management platform but does not need to integrate or store sensitive payroll data.
Proof of work or other sensitive information can be referenced with links to your own secure storage locations.
