FULL STORY ====================================================================== Staffology Payroll is a cloud-based payroll solution designed for UK businesses that appreciate a helping hand from automation, flexibility and full HMRC compliance. Its been built from the ground up to work with APIs, so it caters to in-house finance teams and external payroll bureaus with plenty of integrations. At its core, Staffology is designed to simplify payroll administration without making users have to give up features or full control, and it automates core tasks like pay run calculations, tax submissions and pension enrolments. Pricing is clear, and is based on the number of payslips processed after an initial fee, which makes it easy for finance departments to budget long-term and factor in seasonal fluctuation or growth. That said, smaller businesses may find the starting cost high compared with entry-level providers. Especially given that this is the platform designed to pick up users being kicked off IRIS Payroll Basics (IRISs free platform for under 10 workers). Easy-of-use is essential, and support channels are broad, so you shouldnt have any major headaches getting on board with IRISs Staffology Payroll. Our guide to the best payroll software Staffology Payroll by IRIS: Plans and pricing Staffology Payroll starts off with a flat fee of 39 per month, and that covers fewer than 20 payslips (one to 19). If you want to generate more, you can go up to 50 for an additional 1.95 per payslip per month. IRIS will support much larger companies who need 10,000 or more payslips, but that requires a bespoke quote. Presumably, this unlocks more cost-effective pricing. Its as simple as that there are no other hidden costs, which helps IRIS solidify its transparency commitment.

IRIS also uses an API-first design for integration to other platforms like QuickBooks, Sage One and Xero, including pre-built connectors and flexible APIs for custom integrations. Apart from third-party integrations, Staffology Payroll also integrates with other IRIS products like Staffology HR for time and attendance monitoring, automatically importing hours worked for context. You dont have to have full-time employees, either, because Staffology Payroll can handle ad-hoc workers and even calculate their holiday pay, and if you need P11D and Class 1A National Insurance, it covers that too. Catering to HR and payroll companies who do all of this for you not just in-house teams Staffology Payroll by IRIS also offers a white-label payroll solution so that you can rebrand it to match your own logo, colours and company name. Again, API connections keep all the data in check.

By offering automation options and a user interface thats so simple to use, IRIS promises to help users save significant time on administrative tasks. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to boost efficiency while remaining compliant with HMRC guidance, making it a strong option for mid-sized businesses. IRIS recommends Staffology Payroll as an alternative to the free IRIS Payroll Basics, which is to be deprecated after the 2025/26 tax year. For those smaller teams, the pricing might put it out of reach, but for larger organisations its transparent pricing and near-infinite scalability are real positives. Built to support APIs from the ground up, Staffology Payroll offers integration with many popular bookkeeping and HR platforms, including Xero, QuickBooks and IRISs own HR ecosystem, which is especially useful for businesses who want to consolidate their systems or at least automate cross-platform workflows. With pretty strong support spanning real human connections and self-guided help channels, its hard to get lose using IRISs Staffology Payroll. In summary, this smart and scalable payroll platform is ideal for slightly larger businesses who want automation, simplicity and control all in one, but for those being pushed away from IRIS Payroll Basics, it might be that little bit too much. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://www.techradar.com/pro/staffology-payroll-by-iris-review --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
