Here’s why businesses trust PayFit
We have been using PayFit for over 3 years now and it has scaled as our business has grown from 50 to over 200 employees in the UK. They are proactive at adding new features and integrations to keep the product best in class and if there are issues I have always found them to be resolvable fairly quickly. All in all I would not hesitate to recommend.

I am very impressed with the software so far and it is easy to use and run payroll. With Payfit you can easily review, amend and add data and clearly see a payslip overview, which helps you spot any errors before running payroll. I would certainly recommend trying Payfit and seeing what you think.

Great journey setting up the system. We used an outsourced accountants prior which contained all of the issues you'd expect (lack of control, not timely, expensive etc) so Payfit came at a great time when I wanted to automate the payroll process.

It is how payroll should be. Everything that should be automated can be configured and runs every month. If any information is missing, for a new employee for example, you get a notification in advance so you're not delaying pay day.

PayFit’s portal not only allows employees to do these things but also to manage their performance with their manager.
