KeyPay - Fantastic product

PROS

You can try the system before you buy! Since implementing KeyPay, the time and attendance app Clock Me In gives visibility of timesheets allowing the HR and payroll team – and supervisors – to see time worked by employees and whether staff may have forgotten to clock in or out. Eliminating the need to check data and chase staff, payroll went from being a day long process a week to a couple of hours. What’s more, staff no longer have to use physical fob keys, so there is no risk of loss or costs for replacing any hardware, which was previously a growing expense.

CONS

The rostering system does not suit our business roles and patterns which means we can't make the most of having an in built rostering system! The Clock Me In app not being able to operate or store data if tablet goes offline. Ongoing support - not being able to pick up the phone and explain a query to someone but having to put it into words via email.

Reason for choosing KeyPay

Ease and cost of setting up KeyPay.

Reasons for switching to KeyPay

We needed more automation and more functionality for our payroll and leave management processes.

Vendor Response

Too easy!

The payroll processing is much more efficient and streamlined since using KeyPay.

PROS

KeyPay honestly makes processing payroll a breeze... It's the most easy to use, streamlined system I've had the pleasure of using. The built in Award interpreter is fantastic!!

CONS

There have been a few functions that haven't worked as expected, but once raised with the team, they are fixed or added to the development list for improvement.

Reasons for switching to KeyPay

As part of a systems upgrade across the Company

Vendor Response

Didn't appear to be compliant

The most important aspect to me was the ability to set up the payroll to accrue and pay annual leave correctly as per the NZ Holidays Act. I was unable to get my one employee set up to my satisfaction. (The employee gets 12 weeks leave a year (24% Holiday Pay). At the time of the trial, he had a balance of annual leave and a balance of holiday pay (24% of earnings since the last anniversary). Paid monthly. After a pay the accrual wasn't correct, leave taken wasn't paid correctly, and doing a termination didn't give the right answers either. Maybe things have improved since I tried so would like to try again.

Hi Martin, thanks for taking the time to review KeyPay. We launched our NZ leave as a beta version, knowing that we had some work to do on automating the complexities of NZ leave. Straight after launch our developers continued work to ensure we were compliant with the complex NZ leave legislation. Your timing is impeccable though and as of today, we've just completely overhauled our NZ leave! Now you can completely automate the set up of an employees leave and the 'kick in' of entitements in accordance with the legislation. We'd be keen to share these updates with you to try again!

falls down in some areas

Very payrolly.

PROS

The timesheet facility makes it simple to process payroll.

CONS

Not very good at alerting you to what you have to pay to HMRC and when. You have to run a report to find out and have to work out yourself when you need to run the report which rather defeats the point of having software to automate the payroll process. A much better job of this is done by other payroll software. Would benefit a lot from more "localised" explanation as the software is full of complexity i.e. hover your mouse over an i and it explains what you are looking at and how it works.

Reasons for switching to KeyPay

Sage Payroll is so basic it seems to have been produced for 5 year olds
