Choosing
Which one suits you.
Paybooks may suit you better if
- You'd like payroll run for you as a service
- You need attendance and leave with payroll
FyPayrun may suit you better if
- You pay a few people and need the slip and the TDS right
- You'd rather payroll stay on your machine than sign up for a system
- You file yourself, or your accountant does, and just need the files
Whatever you pick
Five questions to ask any payroll tool.
01
Is it priced per employee?
And what does a month cost at the size you'll be next year?
02
Where is the payroll kept?
On my machine, in your cloud — and can I take it with me if I leave?
03
Does it file, or make the files?
If it files, under whose login; if not, which files and in what format.
04
Which year's rules?
The slabs, the ceilings, the thresholds — and who updates them in April.
05
Does it say what it can't do?
A tool that's plain about its edges is easier to trust with the rest.
