Every payroll feature an Irish business needs, in one plan
Nxsys Payroll covers the full Irish payroll cycle, from a new starter’s first payslip to year end. Every feature in this section is included for €2.00 per employee per month.
Payroll and Revenue compliance
Nxsys calculates pay and reports it to Revenue automatically, so you stay compliant on every pay run.
- RPNs: Revenue Payroll Notifications retrieved before every pay run, so tax credits, rate bands and USC are always current

- PAYE, USC and PRSI calculated using the current 2026 rates, bands and PRSI classes
- Weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly and monthly pay runs on one account
- Monthly Revenue statement checked against your payroll submissions
- Year end in real time: no P35 or P60, and employees see their Employment Detail Summary in myAccount
Small business essentials
Built for the way small businesses actually run payroll.
- Payroll by exception: set up your pay dates and pay once, and Nxsys runs payroll automatically. A few days before each payday you get a notification to make any changes. If nothing changes, Nxsys runs payroll as set up, makes every submission, sends payslips to your employees and has your bank file ready to download.
- Emergency tax applied automatically until an employee’s RPN is available
- Local Property Tax deductions applied from each employee’s RPN
- Payslips in the Nxsys employee mobile app
- Proprietary director payroll with Class S PRSI
Pensions and auto-enrolment
Nxsys handles your workplace pension duties from assessment to submission.
- My Future Fund auto-enrolment: eligible employees identified on every pay run
- Employee and employer contributions calculated and reported through payroll
- Opt-outs and contribution changes tracked for every employee
- Occupational pension, PRSA and AVC deductions with tax relief through payroll
RCT for construction, forestry and meat processing
Nxsys runs Relevant Contracts Tax alongside your PAYE payroll, so principal contractors can pay subcontractors from the same system.
- Contract notifications sent to Revenue for each subcontractor
- Payment notifications before every payment, with Revenue’s deduction authorisation and rate (0%, 20% or 35%)
- RCT deducted at the authorised rate and deduction summaries for subcontractors
- Monthly RCT return reviewed against your payment notifications
Statutory pay and holiday
- Statutory sick pay under the Sick Leave Act
- Maternity, paternity, parent’s and adoption leave, with Department of Social Protection benefit and employer top-ups
- Annual leave and public holiday entitlement
- Salary sacrifice, benefits and deductions
Pay your team
Once you approve a pay run, Nxsys builds your bank payment file in seconds. Download it, upload it to your bank, and your whole team is paid the right amount on payday, with nothing to retype.
Employee mobile app
Employees get the Nxsys app on their phone, where they can view payslips, year-end documents and holiday balances at any time. This saves you from emailing PDFs and answering “Can you resend my payslip?”
Accounting integrations
Nxsys sends payroll journals to Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent, so your accounts match your payroll without re-keying.
Support and security
- Support: in-app help plus access to human support and phone support
