KiwiPayroll

Features

Everything for a clean NZ pay run

What ships in KiwiPayroll today — clear capabilities you can use on day one, without a sales demo to see the basics.

Cloud-based payroll

KiwiPayroll runs in the browser — no desktop install. Sign in from any modern device and keep your workspace with you.

NZ tax on every slip

PAYE, ACC, KiwiSaver, and student loan calculated for New Zealand payday, so you are not rebuilding rates in a spreadsheet.

Leave that stays current

Annual and sick leave with Holidays Act–style accrual, balances on the employee record, and requests managers can approve.

Leave liability report

See outstanding annual and sick leave hours by employee, with an estimated dollar value at ordinary hourly rate — downloadable as CSV.

myIR file export

Employment Information and Employee Details CSV exports ready for IRD upload when it is time to file. Direct two-way IRD gateway filing is on the roadmap.

Payslip history CSV

Download your payslip history as CSV for the current company filter — useful for audits, accountants, and your own records.

Employee self-service

Staff can view payslips, check leave, and update personal details through a simple portal — fewer admin interruptions.

Document expiry reminders

Passport and visa expiry dates on the employee record, with a Due soon panel for anything expired or within 90 days.

Controlled access

Roles for admins, accountants, managers, and employees, with permissions so the right people see the right companies and actions.

Employer & accountant workspaces

Run one company yourself, or manage many client employers from a practice workspace with clear client switching.

Flexible pay frequencies

Weekly, fortnightly, 4-weekly, and monthly pay when you generate a run. Hourly and salary employees are supported in the same workspace.

Payslips you can share

Generate clear NZ payslips, keep history, and print or share as PDF from the browser — ready for staff and your records.

Guided workspace setup

A short checklist walks you through company, people, and the first pay run so you are not guessing where to start.
