Key benefits of using Payroller

Ease of use

Getting started with payroll doesn’t need to be complicated. With Payroller, you can set up your account and add full-time, part-time, or casual staff in just a couple of minutes. No confusing forms, no lengthy onboarding — just a clear and simple setup that gets you running straight away. Once employees are added, you can process a pay run and send professional payslips in just a few clicks.

Seamless employee onboarding

New staff? No stress. Payroller helps you keep all the important details in one secure place, including tax file numbers (TFNs), addresses, super, and bank account information. Everything is stored digitally, so you’re always organised and ready to run payroll without missing a detail.

Run payroll your way

Every business is different, and so are your payroll needs. With Payroller, you can tailor pay runs to suit your schedule, whether that’s weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. Automatic tax and super calculations take the guesswork out of compliance, and built-in Single Touch Payroll (STP) Phase 2 reporting keeps you up to date with ATO requirements. No more worrying about penalties or missed deadlines — Payroller has compliance built-in.

On-the-go payslip management

No matter where you are, Payroller makes it easy to create and send branded payslips instantly from desktop or mobile. Everything is stored securely in the cloud, so you’ll never lose track of your payroll history.

Leave management

Managing leave is simple with Payroller. Employees can request annual leave, sick leave, or other entitlements directly through the employee app, and managers can approve or decline with just one tap. Balances are tracked automatically in line with Fair Work rules, giving both you and your employees a clear record. No more messy spreadsheets or forgotten requests — everything is logged and audit-ready.

Timesheets

Say goodbye to paper timesheets and manual entry. Employees can log their hours digitally through the Payroller Employee app, and managers can review and approve instantly. Timesheets are linked directly to payroll, so once hours are approved, they’re automatically calculated into your next pay run. This reduces errors, saves time, and creates a clear audit trail for compliance.

Rostering

Planning shifts has never been easier. With Payroller’s drag-and-drop roster builder, you can create schedules in minutes and notify your team instantly. Rosters sync with employee timesheets and payroll, so hours worked match up seamlessly with payments. Employees receive real-time updates on shift changes through the app, reducing confusion and missed shifts.

Cloud integration

Because Payroller is cloud-based, you can manage payroll from anywhere, whether you’re at the office, at home, or on the go. Your data syncs instantly across desktop and mobile, so you always have one up-to-date version — no double entry or outdated spreadsheets. Cloud integration also means secure storage and peace of mind, knowing your payroll is backed up.
