Blog – What is the cloud?

Monday, January 16th, 2012

You may hear us go on about us delivering payroll that’s “in the cloud”.  But what is the cloud?

 Well, basically it means you handle everything online.  Your payroll is set up and delivered through the Internet as opposed to you having to download software.  So you can do it from anywhere that has the Internet. 

But don’t worry, your data is completely safe.  We back it up and store safely so there are no security concerns and if your computer has a melt down, it won’t affect your payroll at all.

We are taking the hassle out of payroll and making sure everything is as easy as possible to make your business run smoothly.

Holiday Payroll 101

Monday, December 12th, 2011

Not so long ago, our blog, Christmas Countdown, mentioned that closer to the big day we would give you some more information to make your holiday payroll easier.  Because everyone’s got enough to stress about at this time of year, payroll should be the last thing on your mind.

So, click this link to view all the information you could need about entering holiday leave days and statutory holidays on our website. 

But we haven’t gone all impersonal.  There is still someone at the helpdesk waiting for your call.  Just give us a ring on 0800 10 10 38.  We may be a little bit busier so please be patient if you have a short wait.

Times are changing

With new, online technology hitting the market, more and more business owners are confronted with sticking with what they know or cutting the strings and trying something better.

This is exactly the same for business payroll solutions.  What has been typically run by time consuming manual systems or software that quickly becomes out of date has now moved to easy, online solutions that are able to adapt to any and all situations.  The latter is where SmartPayroll fits in.

SmartPayroll is an affordable, accessible and automatic way to manage your payroll.  Now that might seem like a lot of A’s but our customers wouldn’t be giving us an A+ for no reason.  And, we certainly aren’t shying away from any new challenges either.

SmartPayroll congratulate the All Blacks on a job well done!

World Champions. It’s two simple words the New Zealand public has been waiting to hear for 24 years. 80 minutes and one heart stopping injury to Aaron Cruden later, our dreams had become reality. It’s hard to describe the raw emotion that this victory has brought but seeing Richie McCaw raise that trophy is something that will never be forgotten.

All we can say now is celebrate New Zealand; the All Black’s did it. We did it.

Thanks from a customer

I would like to put in writing what I voiced over the phone, everyone at Smartpayroll have been absolute lifesavers, from the smallest question about simple things through to things that may not even be in your area of expertise there has always been a helpful voice on the other end of the phone.  Being new to the country, and to this kind of role there has been a massive and somewhat daunting learning curve for me personally and I feel you guys have all presented a wonderful lifeline.
Thank you to everyone there at SmartPayroll, keep up the great work.
