Stress free payroll compliance
Franchises can be a hot bed of potentially tricky payroll scenarios with part time and variable hour staff and franchisees with little payroll experience. PayHero follows the latest MBIE Holidays Act guidelines to ensure employees maintain the correct holiday entitlements, even when work patterns change.
Take the time out of timesheets
Give your franchisees the gift of easy timesheet management with PayHero. Choose from self-service employee timesheets, GPS timesheets from their phone, or our photo clock in and out app to send accurate timesheets straight to payroll and automatically manage rest and meal breaks.
Easily manage multiple locations
Manage time, leave and payroll for different locations with PayHero Teams. Assign staff members to one or more sites and give local managers access to manage employee leave and timesheets at their site. Track your wage costs with Xero tracking category integration.
“The only software on the market currently able to accurately calculate the leave entitlements for employees with irregular working patterns, without manual intervention, is PayHero.”
Protect your brand
In these days of increased scrutiny when it comes to payroll compliance, ensure your franchisees have the most compliant online payroll system available and access to the support they need to get it right.
Built for Holidays Act compliance
PayHero follows the very latest Holidays Act guidance from MBIE with lots of inbuilt automation to help employers get it right. As a cloud based payroll system, any changes to payroll and labour laws are automatically applied. No downloads or time consuming updates for you or your franchisees - just business as usual.
Taking care of business
There’s a lot of red tape for business owners these days. PayHero automates time consuming and tedious tasks so your franchisees can get on with what’s more important. Online timesheets provide a record of hours worked by employees each day. Our photo time clock takes care of rest and meal break compliance and a health and safety record of who’s onsite in real time.
Help to get it right
If you have a payroll expert at head office, your franchisees can invite them to temporarily access their PayHero account to help with any troubleshooting. Our friendly Wellington-based support team is available by phone or email whenever you need it.
Look after your bottom line and let PayHero take care of the tricky payroll stuff
Easy public holiday payroll
PayHero automatically determines whether a public holiday is an otherwise working day for an employee based on their recent work pattern and calculates their entitlements accordingly.
Take the time out out of timesheets
Give your franchisees the gift of easy timesheet management with PayHero. Choose from self-service employee timesheets, GPS timesheets from their phone, or our photo clock in and out app to send accurate timesheets straight to payroll and automatically manage rest and meal breaks. Plus, allow team managers to approve timesheets to minimise admin for the payroll team.
Automated payday filing
Payday filing is a piece of cake in PayHero – your franchisees just connect their account to IRD and we’ll automatically send their payroll information through after every pay.
Employee self-service
Ensure employees have the tools they need to do their best work and that staff across your entire group have the same great experience. Employees can view leave balances and request leave from the PayHero app. They can access their old payslips too, submit expense claims, and complete online timesheets (including GPS location stamping) if you enable that option.
Straight through to accounts
Automatically send payroll data through to Xero. Keep it simple or assign wage costs to different account codes and tracking categories for a more detailed break down.
