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.
PayFit is very easy to use as the UI is very easy there is really no learning curve. The layout is pretty simple and it's easy to find your payslips, overview of time off, requested time off, and request for leaves.
System is very convenient and smartly built, perfect for none payroll people. We like the transparency, efficiency and security. Helped us to reduce amount of spreadsheets and unnecessary paperwork for sure. Our employees seem to appreciate the change too.
PayFit has completing revolutionized the way you can run payroll, making it more user friendly, and providing you the support and information you need.
I have been very impressed with PayFit over the last year+ that we have been using their system. I've done payroll in multiple countries for over 20 years and PayFit is hands down one of the best systems I've used.
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.
Professional, efficient, friendly, dynamic, helpful... You can trust them with your eyes shut. I can only recommend them. (Happy customer since July 2019)
We have been using PayFit for a few months now and it’s made running payroll much easier for us. Pretty easy software made easier by their support team.
My review about PayFit is very good. The software is easy to use and the customer service is also responsive especially with urgent cases
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 just made it so easy. I felt like I knew how to run payroll, and I didn't, because PayFit kind of did it for me!
As an HR professional, and not a payroll specialist, running payroll was often a long and arduous process. However, since switching to PayFit, the time I spend on payroll tasks has reduced significantly

Payroll software like PayFit is designed to adhere to the high levels of compliance HMRC requires. Our developers ensure our software is always up-to-date with the latest payroll regulations, rates and thresholds, with no manual intervention needed, reducing your risk of incurring pricey penalties.
When it comes to UK payroll software, there are providers offering free payroll management tools. These tools, while geared towards very small businesses and early-day startups, only provide basic functionality, such as payslip generation and tax year reports.

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