With the payrollnow Payroll Software you run payroll yourself in the cloud — fully automated payroll runs, withholding tax and social-security contributions calculated and filed automatically, employee app included, Swissdec ELM 5.1 via partner.
Classic payroll software is a module locked inside an ERP cage. payrollnow is a standalone solution that connects to your tools, calculates in real time and adapts to your business.
Recalculated on every input — no monthly batch, no correction stress. Retro-calculations are free, payroll runs possible any time.
Native app with AI chat — answers in seconds instead of HR callback loops. Included, not an add-on.
We don't replace your accounting, HR software or time tracking — we connect to them. No ERP cage.
Your own pay elements, workflows and industry specifics — without coding. payrollnow adapts to your company, not the other way round.
You report what happened. payrollnow automatically generates all required tasks and walks you through them step by step. No payroll handbook, no Excel sheets, no forgotten obligations.
New hire, sickness, bonus, workload change, termination — you briefly enter what happened. No further specialist knowledge required.
Inputpayrollnow generates every required step: OASI/BVG registrations, withholding-tax bracket, pro-rata salary, BFS statistics, wage-statement update.
AutoEach step is clearly explained. Prompts for missing data appear automatically. You review, approve — no payroll specialist knowledge needed.
