A manual payroll system normally consists of a book which is satisfactory ONLY for the recording and entry of very basic payroll information. The employer however, is still required to manually calculate tax, medicare variation adjustments, superannuation guarantee levy and many other legislative and industrial requirements.

A manual system does not provide for detailed payroll reporting. The standard of information required to be maintained for employees under the various award, industrial and taxation requirements complicates a manual system.

The payroll information required to be maintained has increased considerably over the past years and is continually changing. This has also increased the time taken to process a payroll. You must consider the time and costs involved in preparation and processing of your manual payroll compared with an automatic in-house computerised system. There are many cases where employers who normally allocated a morning to process their manual pays, have completed an e-PayDay® payrun in less than 15 minutes. Complete in-house control eliminates the hassles associated with manual or outside payroll processing.

e-PayDay® is designed and produced ENTIRELY in Australia to meet Australian payroll requirements. e-PayDay® incorporates procedures and functions normally contained in more expensive payroll programs. With the increase in government legislative and industrial requirements, businesses require a payroll which is up-to-date, yet simple to use, comprehensive, cost effective, with readily available support and prompt updates.

e-PayDay® offers a flexible range of Awards and Pay Types for businesses and companies with one to hundreds of employees. The product line has been available nationally since 1987, with over ONE MILLION employees currently being paid using e-PayDay®. It is being used by many industries such as security, real estate, tourism, farming, engineering, clubs, service stations, medical, construction, hardware, hotels, employment agencies, hospitality, and many other types of businesses.

e-PayDay® is designed to run on Windows® 98/ME/NT/2000/XP and works with 32 Bit versions of Microsoft Vista and Windows 7.

To use e-PayDay® with Apple® MAC OSX, a Virtual PC program such as VMware Fusion is required.
