The PayHero Team | About Us

We're PayHero 👋, a team with a focus on helping New Zealand businesses pay their employees right.

PayHero | Compliant, Accurate & Easy to Use Payroll Software

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

Pay Employees Right

Our mission is simple. We want to help New Zealand companies pay employees right. That way employees get the entitlements they deserve and employers can do what they do, without having to worry about payroll and compliance.

Though it sounds easy, recent history has shown that getting payroll right is easier said than done, with large organisations and government agencies forced to pay millions to cover historical employee underpayments.

Following the very latest Holidays Act guidance from MBIE, PayHero stores employee leave balances in weeks so companies with staff who work variable hours or have changing work patterns always get their leave entitlements correct.

PayHero gives you the tools you need to track employee time and calculate accurate holidays and leave. In short, it’s payroll that you and your employees can trust.

WHERE WE’VE COME FROM

A brief history

PayHero is brought to you by the team at FlexiTime. We’ve been making it easy for Kiwis to work and get paid since 2008. Back then our founders Rob, Sam and Jill got together and built FlexiTime Payroll, one of the first cloud based payroll systems in New Zealand.

Since then, we’ve built up a reputation as the go-to provider for businesses with complex payroll requirements - especially those with casual, part-time and remote employees.

Fast forward ten years and it was time for a refresh. In 2019 our fast growing team in Wellington launched a new and improved payroll system - PayHero. It’s the culmination of everything we’ve learned over a decade of helping thousands of customers get their payroll right.

Though we’re experts when it comes to companies with tricky payroll requirements, businesses from every industry choose PayHero for our time tracking tools, employee self-service, advanced reporting, smart integrations, expert support and easy payment options.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Work Better

We believe that work should be great for everyone. But in today’s workplaces business owners, people managers and employees spend too much time on admin and paperwork, which kills productivity.

We know there’s another way. We’re obsessed with helping businesses work better.

With the right software tools backing you up you can automate and streamline many of the traditionally complex, admin intensive or tedious day-to-day tasks and spend your valuable time on what’s really important. Smart use of technology allows you to provide a more human experience for your staff and that way everyone wins.

Everything we do is designed to make it easier to run a business and to remove the administrative burden on business owners and people managers.
