How many days a month does payroll take off your desk?
The sums, the payslips, the statutory submissions, and the month it is wrong.
Payroll is small until it is late
Nothing about it is urgent, until the statutory date is yesterday.
- Statutory deadlines that do not move for your workload
- PCB and EA form errors that surface a year later
- One person who knows how it works, and their notice period
It is a specialist job given to whoever is free
EPF, SOCSO, EIS and PCB each have their own rules, and none of them are anyone's main job.
Payroll gets handed to an office manager or a founder because it looks like arithmetic. It is not — it is four statutory regimes with their own thresholds, and the errors compound silently until the EA form goes out.
By the time an employee queries their EA form, the mistake is eleven months old.
Move the licence, not just the work
The value is not that somebody else types it. It is that somebody accountable files it.
- A named licensed accountant owns the submission
- You review and approve before anything files
- Errors are corrected by the party that made them
- Leave and claims feed the run instead of being re-keyed

A fit if
- You employ anyone at all, including yourself
- Payroll currently sits with a founder or an office manager
- You are switching from a provider or a spreadsheet
- You are hiring and do not want payroll to be the reason you pause
Not a fit if
- You have an in-house payroll team and only need software — talk to us about self-serve instead

Questions
Why now, not at the new financial year?
Mid-year switching is normal and costs nothing here — this year's figures come across so the EA form and PCB stay correct.
Why not keep it in-house?
You can, and self-serve is built for exactly that. What you cannot keep in-house is somebody else's licence standing behind the submission.
