PaySauce has come out on top and is offering a special joining deal for FICA and WIF members.
After trialling four different payroll systems, PaySauce stands out as the best option aligned to the needs of forestry contractors.
“Forestry contractors generally have different needs to standard/typical business, especially around the complexities of different allowances we pay,” WIF General Manager Sarah Davis said.
“Having had experience running other systems for a number of years, I understand the benefits to the simplicity they offer but there are also drawbacks with some not being cloud based and in real time, especially for pay day filing. Plus, some competitors are not known for their customer service, and it can be difficult to get through to a real person on the phone.”
Key features and benefits of PaySauce include:
- Functionality suitable for complex allowances forestry contractors pay
- Cloud base/real time updates
- Local/real people in the customer service team
- App based system meaning you can process payroll from anywhere
- Competitive pricing with a special three month joining offer for FICA and WIF members
- No set up fees (some other competitors charge NZ$50pp)
- Pain-free set up – all they need is a payroll report.
Dale Rutgers from Loggabull in Taupo completed a PaySauce pilot/trial as part of the research process WIF undertook.
“I want to thank Dale from Loggabull for taking the time to demo this payroll. She was very diligent with her questions and feedback,” Ms Davis said.
After trying out PaySauce Ms Rutgers has committed to switching Loggabull over to PaySauce.
“It will be good to start using a web-based system that has a lot of different capabilities. It’s great that it is a NZ company, and you can speak to a real person in NZ if you need any support,” she said.
Ms Davis acknowledges that switching payroll systems is not always simple and easy.
“I understand the drama of having to change over a payroll system, so we have strived to find the best system that will make it as painless as possible,” she said.
“The team at PaySauce have assured me that the switch is seamless and all they require is your payroll reports. Then they can load everything for you.
“With the added benefits of PaySauce running through an app, you can process payroll anywhere in the world off your phone.”
