"Switching from our previous system to Staffology was simple, and we used the training guides to support if needed. Using Staffology has eliminated much stress in the team and allowed them to focus on other important activity for Upp. I think it’s fantastic value for money and a payroll system I would highly recommend."

"The idea of moving to a new payroll system was a bit daunting, but as soon as I saw the demo for Staffology Payroll I knew we had to move. It looked so much more modern and user-friendly. The communication from IRIS has been great and we did our first payroll run last month. I’m really glad we made the move and would highly recommend Staffology Payroll based on my experience so far."

"The HR and payroll integration within Staffology has been a huge time saver for us as a business. Payroll now takes us 2 hours rather than a full day! It has really streamlined processes like annual leave requests and viewing payslips. Also very user-friendly!"

"I do love Staffology and after all these years working in payroll, I can honestly say it ticks most of my boxes. I just love all the automation. I absolutely love the FPS feature, we used to work this at the end of the month and it was a day between the two of us – now we’ve got that time back!"

“We’ve really noticed the difference since bringing in a centralised HR and payroll system with Staffology, with one screen to manage everything from. We got so used to having to do things on spreadsheets and adding attachments. There were so many things that we just couldn’t control. Staffology has given us that control back, and as a result we’ve been able to make improvements for our employees."
