💰 Payroll
Eliminate Evening Payroll Sessions

Stuck doing evening payroll sessions? Anxious about HMRC submissions and manual tax calculations? Process compliant UK payroll in minutes—not hours—with automated handling of complex hours, holidays, and statutory pay.

Workmax submits RTI directly to HMRC with every pay run. You'll get confirmation instantly—no more second-guessing or dreading HMRC letters.

Statutory sick pay, maternity, paternity, and accrued holiday are calculated automatically using UK rules. No spreadsheets, no mistakes, no underpayments.

Hours and expenses flow in automatically—no rekeying data from timesheets or receipts. What used to take hours now takes minutes: review, approve, done.

We update Workmax with every UK payroll legislation change—PAYE, NI thresholds, pension minimums—so you're always compliant without lifting a finger.

⏱️ Time Tracking
Escape the Pre-Payroll Timesheet Scramble

Tired of scrambling for missing timesheets before payroll? Fed up with hour disputes and manual overtime calculations? Capture accurate time automatically and see your real labour costs before they become a problem.

Mobile clock-in with automatic reminders means timesheets get submitted on time. You'll have complete hours days before payday—no more chasing stragglers.

Timestamped clock-ins with GPS location (optional) give you proof of hours worked. No more he-said-she-said or awkward conversations.

Break deductions and overtime multipliers apply automatically based on your rules. Calculate pay correctly the first time—no disputes, no corrections.

Real-time reports show hours worked vs budgeted by project, department, or employee. Spot problems early and make corrections before it's too late.

Ditch the Filing Cabinet Chaos

Drowning in filing cabinet chaos? Missing compliance deadlines and fielding endless "Where's my contract?" questions? Keep all employee records, documents, and history in one searchable place with automated reminders.

Digital employee profiles with contracts, certifications, and documents—searchable in seconds. No more digging through folders or asking around.

Automatic reminders for expiring documents mean you'll never get caught out by an expired DBS, visa, or qualification again.

Employee self-service gives staff instant access to payslips, P60s, contracts, and holiday balances—without bothering you.

Structured onboarding checklists ensure every new starter has their contract, right-to-work docs, and bank details before day one.

Real-time expense submission means you see spending as it happens—not three weeks later when it's too late to challenge.

Track spending by category, department, or project in real-time. Spot trends and put controls in place before costs spiral.
