Previously we were using three different programs for payroll, rostering, Xero and banking. It took time and was manually entered. PaySauce is a one stop shop.

Your first pay run in three steps

From setting up your team to running your first payday, this is how it works.

01

Add your team

Enter your employees, their award and how often you pay them. Our team can help you get set up.

02

Review and approve

Timesheets come in from your team's phones. Check them and approve with a tap.

03

Run payday

One click and your team, their super funds and the ATO are paid. We'll be right there beside you for your first pay run.

Simple pricing for small business payroll

Your first pay run is free. Then it's from $50/month

Your first employee is included and you only pay for staff in a pay run that month. That means if you put on extra casuals over Christmas, they stop costing you the moment they finish up. Everything's in the one price, with award rates, Payday Super, the employee app and local support all included. There are no tiers, no add-ons and no lock-in contracts.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about pricing, setup and support.

Is it free to start?

Yes, your first pay run is free. After that is's from $50 per month and you can cancel any time.

I already use another payroll system. Is switching a pain?

We'll help you move your team and reporting across. Most of the work is a one-off setup and then you're away.

Can i switch mid financial year or mid quarter?

Yes, and plenty of people do. We check your year-to-date figures against ATO as part of setting you up, so nothing goes missing at EOFY.

What happens to my STP history when I switch payroll?

It stays with the ATO where it belongs. We pick up your year-to-date figures so your reporting continues cleanly from your first PaySauce pay run.

How long does switching take?

We can do it in under 30 minutes if you have all of your info ready to go. Our onboarding team does the setup, and it's free.

Do I have to pay for extra support?

No. There's one level of support and everyone gets it, including qualified BAS agents on the team. No priority tier to upgrade into.

What if its not right for our business?

You've got 90 days to get your money back in full, and no lock-in contract at any point. Cancel from your account whenever you like, without ringing anyone.

Does PaySauce connect to Xero?

Yes, directly. Connect once and your books stay in sync after every pay run, so you or your bookkeeper aren't typing the same numbers into two places.

Do you handle award rates?

We've got the Pastoral, Hospitality and Retail Awards built in, plus salaried staff. If you're on a different award, talk to us and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
