Payroll by exception: payroll that runs itself

Set up your pay dates and pay once, and Nxsys runs payroll for you. 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 and has your bank file ready to download.

HOW IT WORKS

What is payroll by exception?

Most months, most of your payroll is the same as last month. Payroll by exception means you only deal with the changes, like a new starter, overtime or a leaver, and Nxsys handles everything else.

Once

Set up

Add your pay dates, employees and pay, and choose payroll by exception.

Only if needed

Review

A few days before payday, Nxsys tells you what will be paid so you can make changes.

Automatically

Done

If there are no changes, Nxsys runs payroll, submits to the tax office, sends payslips and prepares your bank file.

Payroll by exception works for UK payroll with HMRC and Irish payroll with Revenue.
