You may have seen our image on the homepage with the smiling fingers. In case you missed it, above it reads “Reasons for small businesses to smile today.”
Well, in case you didn’t know we also have a video commercial featuring those same happy, smiling little fingers. Produced by our friends at Harvey Cameron, the video is a great way to highlight SmartPayroll even further.
After venturing down to Christchurch last week, yesterday we were in Auckland for Accountants Republic 2013.
With over 200 accountants in attendance, we hope everyone who went thoroughly enjoyed themselves and learnt a lot. We certainly did! A big thank you has to go out again to Viv and her team who organised it all as their speaker list especially was excellent.
We look forward to doing it all over again next year
This week may seem like an ordinary working week but there are a few things to celebrate and remember.
Firstly, after hitting the $3 billion mark in July last year, we are now inching ever closer to celebrating $4 billion in payroll processed through SmartPayroll. It’s a great achievement not only for us, but for our customers who have made this possible.
So thank you to everyone who has ever used SmartPayroll. And, look out for the countdown on the homepage, it shouldn’t be too long now.
And, the next thing this week to remember is of course Anzac Day on Thursday. Yes, this is a holiday but it’s a time to remember those who fought and lost their lives. The banks will be shut of course, so get any payments scheduled on a different day if needs be.
Around this time every year our phone lines start to get a lot busier as we try to help everyone. As always, we are aiming to get an answer to you as quickly as possible, but please be patient if you are experiencing slightly longer wait times than usual.
If you need something urgently though, it’s best to let the operator know so we can endeavor to call you back even quicker.
So give us a call on 0800 10 10 38 whenever you need a hand.
After travelling around the North Island and delivering payroll courses in a variety of different areas over the past year, we are now crossing the Strait and heading south.
On the 18th and 19th of this month, we will be in Hokitika and Franz Josef helping out more people with their questions and concerns.
If you’re keen to get involved, book your place soon as places are likely to run out quickly. All you have to do is ring Chris on 0800 10 10 38 and she will sort it out with you.
We look forward to seeing you all there.
As many of you know, as at 1 April there were some changes to Kiwisaver, student loans and minimum wage.
Although the tax changes to both Kiwisaver and student loans are automatically updated in SmartPayroll, the increase in minimum wage needs to be manually changed. It is increasing from $13.50 to $13.75 so you will need to change this yourself to make sure your payroll is correct.
As always if you need any help whatsoever or are unsure about any of the new legislation changes and how they impact you feel free to call our helpdesk on 0800 10 10 38.
