As business owners, most of you will agree the satisfaction that comes with every employee being paid on time is an unparalleled one. Payroll processing is definitely one of the most crucial yet still underrated business functions.

That being said, is your payroll processing the best there is?

For most growing businesses, it almost always boils down to doing everything manually. Members of the HR team and the founder/business owner need to track attendance and calculate salaries based on leaves taken.

Not to mention salary calculation involves taxes and other compliances which is a time-consuming task just by itself.

Salary disbursement which is the biggest disbursement for any business is also not a smooth process by any means. Unless you have a 20 member strong team, banks will not let you open salary accounts for your employees.

Even if you do have salary accounts, then tons of paperwork, a signed cheque of the equivalent of total salary amount, etc. are needed along with precious hours lost in doing all of this – before the salary is disbursed.

Does it sound complicated, tiring, and all too familiar?

Then it’s time for you to consider switching to a payroll solution that understands your needs.

One-click payslip generation

Direct salary and TDS payments
