    About PayFit

    PayFit is a cloud-based payroll and HR management platform designed specifically for SMEs. It automates complex payroll tasks, including salary calculations, tax declarations (RTI in the UK), and pension contributions. The platform aims to decentralize HR administration by providing employees with self-service portals to access payslips and manage holiday requests. Beyond core payroll, PayFit includes modules for expense management, performance reviews, and absence tracking. It is designed to be user-friendly for non-experts, reducing manual data entry by up to 90% through automation. The service integrates with popular workplace tools like Slack, Spendesk, and various pension providers.
