Smartly (formerly SmartPayroll) is an easy-to-use online payroll system. Based in New Zealand, Smartly makes it simple to pay employees and contractors and send reports to the IRD.
Download the app so you can request leave, view your latest payslips and countdown to your next pay.
If you have a client who is interested in joining up with Smartly, please send them this link:
If your client already uses Smartly and wants us to enter the data for them, then you will need to do the following:
Data entry only capacity: What this means is that you can edit the payroll and amend as required, but you do not have authority to push the payroll through to the bank. Instead, it will go through to the client to authorise as the owner of the account/business.
Ask the client to email Smartly at helpdesk@smartly.co.nz and ask them to add you as "data entry only capacity user" onto their account. They will need your name, email and phone number so they can contact you to set up a username and password.
Full access: This is when we are able to edit the payroll and amend as required, and then approve the payrun and send through to the bank. This is not recommended as we always want the client to check everything before it gets to the bank, so any errors can be picked up by a second set of eyes.
If the client does want us to have this sort of authority, then they will need to email Smartly at helpdesk@smartly.co.nz and ask them to add you as "full access user" onto their account. Again, they will need your name, email and phone number so they can contact you to set up a username and password.
Go to your App Store and type in "Smartly"
