At the beginning of January Paycycle released the new HTML version of their software to all users (we had been running our payroll on this release since the early December as part of their beta testing).  As of this week this is the only version available – they have now shut down the old Silverlight version (the “black and green” screens many of you will have been familiar with).

The new “look and feel” of the product is in line with Xero – lots of blue!  My first response was a bit negative but after running 4 payrolls in the new release I can scarcely remember the old screens and am really impressed with this new version.   This video shows an introduction to the new release, plus there are extensive help notes on the Paycycle website.

The next major objective for Paycycle is a full integration with Xero, so for those of you who run both these products you will have the option within a few weeks of running your payroll inside Xero, it will just be a separate tab (and yes access will be controlled by user log on, so your payroll data will remain confidential).  Keep an eye on our blog over the next few weeks for news of this.

If you need any help transitioning from the old version of Paycycle to the new, or are interested in implementing either Paycycle or Xero in your business please contact Viridity.
