OVERVIEW

What is Nxsys Payroll?

Nxsys Payroll is cloud payroll software for small and medium-sized businesses, from a one-person limited company to an employer with 250 staff. It runs your whole payroll in one place: calculating pay, filing with the tax authority, enrolling staff into pensions and paying your team.

More than 300,000 employees are paid through Nxsys every month, and customers rate it 5 out of 5 on Capterra.

What does Nxsys Payroll do?

Nxsys Payroll handles every step of a pay run, so you approve payroll instead of building it.

✓
Payroll by exception. Nxsys runs payroll automatically based on your setup and sends you a notification a few days before each payday, so you only step in when something changes.
✓
Tax filing in each country. Nxsys sends your payroll reports to the tax authority with every pay run: HMRC in the UK and Revenue in Ireland.
✓
Download your bank file, pay your team. Approve the pay run and Nxsys creates a ready-to-upload bank file. Send it to your bank and everyone is paid the right amount, on time.
✓
Workplace pensions built in. Nxsys works out who to enrol, calculates contributions and keeps your pension scheme up to date.
✓
Contractor payments too. Pay subcontractors under CIS in the UK and RCT in Ireland from the same system as your payroll.
✓
Rates updated automatically. Tax, social insurance and minimum wage changes in each country are applied without you lifting a finger.
✓
Employee mobile app. Staff see their payslips and holiday balance on their phone.
✓
Accounting integrations. Payroll journals post to Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent.

Do I need payroll software for a small business?

Yes. Nxsys works out the tax, social insurance and pension contributions for you and checks every pay run before it reaches the tax office. If you get stuck, in-app support and our human support team by chat or phone are included in your plan.

FEATURES

Payroll features that work in every country

Every Nxsys Payroll plan includes the same core features, wherever you employ people. Country-specific filing, pensions and statutory pay are covered on each country page.

Payroll by exception

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, payroll runs as set up.

How payroll by exception works →

Connect your own systems to payroll at no extra cost, from HR and rota tools to your own reporting.
