Introducing Zoho Payroll. Redefining payroll from chaos to simplicity


Anybody from the payroll department can tell you that there’s more to payroll processing than just paying employees every month. The checklist of things to do never seems to end, and the saying “time is gold” fits like a glove.

Even before a pay run, payroll staffs spend countless hours collecting information from multiple departments. The HR department shares details on employee compensation, new hires, retirements, and terminations. The finance team contributes ad-hoc payments like bonuses. From the leave and attendance management system, you get information on employee attendance and LOP information for accurate payroll calculation. Even employees submit information, like bills for reimbursement claims and tax-saving records. That doesn’t even include keeping up with the numerous tax regulations and payroll laws. It takes a lot of dashing around to get all of this information on time, every month, and if you’re a small business owner trying to do it all alone, it is nothing short of overwhelming.


With Zoho Payroll, we’re trying to simplify payroll one location at a time. We’re already supporting the payroll needs of US businesses in the states of California and Texas, with plans to expand to other states soon.
