Why payrollnow

Payroll doesn't have to hurt.

Swiss SMEs lose hours on Excel imports, blast-faxing insurers and reconciliation loops with their accountant. We think it can be done differently.

payrollnow combines professional payroll with modern software — self-service onboarding, real-time API, public status page. You see every step. We check every figure.

We wanted a payroll platform we'd use ourselves. Fast, transparent, with no PDF ping-pong.
