SmartPayroll to Smartly

SmartPayroll is now Smartly.

We think it’s friendlier. More modern. And most of all, simpler. Which is exactly how we’ll be changing the experience for our customers.

Our team have been working hard (making things simple isn’t easy) to take payroll automation to the next level, and we have a great new product to share with you.

Now it’s going to be even simpler for you to sort your customers’ payroll accurately, on time and in line with legislation.

Easier to do, easier to view.

Most obvious of all, you’ll find a simple new look and layout. Customers can still run a pay the way they used to, but it’ll all be a lot nicer and a lot easier. There’ll also be improved reporting functions, which we’re sure you’ll love.

Making payroll simpler for our customers is an ongoing focus of ours, and we’ll continue to roll out features that make it easier for customers to stay compliant with legislation and pay their teams right, every time.

How much simple do you need?

An important change is that we have new payroll plans designed to suit businesses of different sizes and complexities.

Payroll One, Two or Three? The right package for you will mostly depend on how many people you have and how varied your arrangements are.

Our most popular plan is Payroll Two, as it suits most Kiwi businesses. Plus, it includes some sweet features like advanced leave management, digital timesheets and advanced employee self-service.

If tracking and reporting on hours by job or department will make things even simpler for your business, you can jump up another level to Payroll Three.

It’s as easy as 1-2-3

Our plans are designed to make payroll simple. Choose the plan that works for your business now, and switch up or down at any time. No contracts, easy set-up and free training.

Ditch the paper timesheets

Sort it for them

How it works

Our new projected leave feature means employees can see how much leave they have now, how much they’ll have earned when they take leave and then how much they’ll have left. Magic.

Our new and improved digital timesheets make it even simpler for employees to log their hours. They can even put them against a specific job or department!

Everything can be reviewed by managers in their manager view before approving for payroll. Plus, they can edit and submit leave on behalf of their happy employees.

What employees access will depend on what payroll package a customer subscribes to.

Our help service just got helpier

We know our customers are busy, so being able to quickly get help is important. That’s why we’ve invested in a new online Help Centre where you can search by keyword to easily find the information you need. So, if you or one of your clients need an urgent answer to something, chances are you’ll find it right here!

There’s easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions as well as more-comprehensive guides and videos.

Of course, our famously helpful helpline is still here to help you with the trickier stuff. We’ve even extended our support hours. We’re now here to help from Monday to Friday, 7am to 7pm.

Supporting our customers through the changes

Smartly is simple, and you’ll be used to things before you know it. But we know this is a big change, so to make things even easier, customers will be able to switch back to SmartPayroll at any time until the end of February 2022.

You’ll also have our new online Help Centre for super-quick answers and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and videos.
