Your questions

Payfit, explained

What should HR software include for a UK business?

The right HR software should handle the full employee lifecycle – contracts, onboarding, leave, expenses, performance, and leavers, while connecting directly to payroll. For UK businesses specifically, look for automatic holiday pay calculations, right-to-work document storage, DBS check management, and P45 generation for leavers. Payfit covers all of this, with everything feeding directly into your payroll run.

How does Payfit connect HR and payroll?

HR and payroll live in the same platform in Payfit. When an employee requests leave and a manager approves it, that leave is automatically reflected in payroll, no re-entry needed. The same applies to new starters, salary changes, expenses, and leavers. Every HR action that affects pay is handled automatically.

Can employees and managers access Payfit themselves?

Yes. Employees have their own space to view payslips, request leave, submit expenses, and access HR documents. Managers have a dedicated workspace to approve their team's requests, run 1:1s, and access the information they need without full admin access.

Does Payfit work for growing teams?

Payfit is built to scale with you. Whether you're onboarding five people or fifty, the workflows adapt. As your headcount grows, your org chart, leave calendar, and employee directory update automatically. And your dedicated Payfit expert scales with you too, there's always someone who knows your account.

How long does it take to get set up?

Most customers are up and running within two weeks. A dedicated Payfit expert handles your onboarding from start to finish. Configuring your account, importing your existing employee data, and making sure everything is set up correctly before your first payroll run.
