Introduction


Setting up your own secure payroll website is a straight-forward task. Once you have created a new organisation, you can immediately begin to enter information for the people you pay. Then there are only a few additional details required to complete a payroll.

Please have a look around our Sample Company before diving into setting up your own payroll. This guide assumes that you have already had a look around to get an idea of what is available, and will make a lot more sense once you have.

Like anything, a small amount of planning and preparation will make the set up even easier.

Preparation


You will need to do the following:-
  1. Obtain contact details, bank account and IRD number for your organisation.
  2. Collect all the Personal and Payroll details for the people you will be paying, including pay rates, tax codes, bank accounts and IRD numbers. You should be able to get all this information from your existing payroll records / personal files.
  3. Decide on your payment method (you can give us a direct debit authority, or transmit the bank file yourself). (More Information...).

    TIP: It can take up to 10 days for a bank to process a direct debit authority. If you really can't wait, you will have to transmit your own file until the direct debit authority is set up.

  4. Decide who will manage your payroll tax returns with Inland Revenue. (More Information...).

Creating a new Organisation


Actually creating a new organisation is easy. Just go to the Register your own Payroll page, fill in the fields and press the 'Create a new Organisation' button. You will be taken to the Getting Started page for your new organisation, which will lead you through the remaining steps.
