Pay any time, all the time

Unlike traditional BACS, wages can be transferred through Faster Payments 24/7/365. Take full control over your payment timetables and process your payroll whenever you need to.

Save money with improved payroll accuracy

Replacing the three-day BACS process with real-time Faster Payments lets you process changes right up until the last minute, leading to for a more accurate and cost-efficient payroll operation.

Reduce your compliance risk

Improving payroll accuracy naturally reduces the risk of expensive and damaging errors, especially those that breach employment regulations like statutory payments or National Minimum Wage.

“With Vertas acquiring bigger and bigger companies, we needed better reporting, and Zellis is giving us this capability. It’s really important for us to see information across all functions, not just in payroll, though. So, we will continue to harmonise our systems to get the very best visibility, with all information accessible in one place.”

Give employees a seamless payslip experience 

Disparate systems for pay and benefits create a disjointed employee experience. Data can’t be shared. Tasks can’t easily be automated. Employees spend too much time navigating multiple systems, hindering engagement and productivity. 

Within our employee self-service platform, MyPay provides multiple payslip breakdowns and visualisations, allowing employees to check, plan, and compare, while reducing the number of payroll queries received by HR.

Single sign-on between our payroll, benefits, and employee recognition solutions eliminates login problems, boosts productivity, and strengthens engagement. 

Meet all of your payroll reporting needs

Access best-in-class analytics and business intelligence tools, powered by the Zellis Intelligence Platform. Discover in-depth data on compensation, benefits uptake and overtime, and take advantage of over 200 report templates, including: 

  • Gender pay gap 
  • CEO pay ratio 
  • National Living Wage 

Create and customise dashboards with ease. Meet all of your payroll reporting needs – regardless of their complexity – and easily configure then for different stakeholders within your organisation.
