A few weeks from now Paycycle will be fully integrated with Xero.  For those of you already using both Paycycle and Xero the changes will be pretty minimal - rather than logging into Paycycle as a separate site you will now have a payroll tab on your Xero file.  For those of you using Paycycle only you will now log into Xero (but use the payroll section only).

Here is a sneak preview of the new Xero screens including Paycycle.

 

I was reminded again a few days ago of one of my favourite features of Paycycle - we processed super both for our own employees and for a number of clients.  All bar one of those clients was on Paycycle - the exception was one recently acquired client who had been reporting their super manually.  That one client took longer to process than all the others put together - run reports, log into super fund websites (lots of them), upload payment details by employee, create BPays.  Yuk!

By contrast the reporting out of Paycycle involved:

• One click to add the super batch
• Select all pays in the quarter
• Submit for approval
• Enter security code (received by SMS)

So quick, and so easy!  Payments direct debited, reports lodged electronically.

If you'd like to know more about how much time Paycycle can save you please contact Viridity.

A few weeks ago the guys at Paycycle asked me if I would Beta test their new super payments solution.  Even though Viridity only has 4 employees paying super is still not a lot of fun as all 4 of us are with different super funds.  And yes I know I could use a clearing house, but that doesn't work all that well when we run payroll for our clients - every time we take on a new client we have to learn our way around another super fund website.

Cue Paycycle's automatic super payments solution.  For March quarter I logged into Paycycle, clicked on the "Super Payments" button to generate a list of the super that was due to be paid for myself and my team for the March quarter.  I reviewed this against the reports I had run earlier (all balanced), then clicked "submit".  That was it - it took less time to do than it has taken me to write this blog post!

If you want to see how easy this is to do sign up to Paycycle, or if you would like to outsource not only payroll processing but the whole of your payroll administration, contact Viridity.
