How it works

With Smartly Payroll, you get umbrella access to all your client’s payroll in one view. Simply switch between clients as you need, all in one place. Simple.

Run a pay, and then we’ll automatically make your payments to employees, IRD, KiwiSaver and more.

Payments to the IRD are sorted with our PAYE intermediary service. Don’t worry about IRD penalties for missing PAYE payment deadlines – we automatically sort these payments for you along with payday filing requirements.

We take the safety and security of our customers’ data and transactions very seriously. The Smartly product is certified against ISO27001, which basically means we go above and beyond to keep you safe and secure, always.
