Common questions

How does per-employee pricing work?+

You're billed monthly (or annually) for each active employee in your workspace. Add or remove people any time — your bill scales with you. Solo is a flat €19/mo for up to 3 people. Starter has a minimum monthly charge of €49. Annual billing saves ~17% across every tier (two months free).

What compliance features are included?+

Compliance and Workforce IQ ship with the EU Pay Transparency report, gender pay-gap dashboard with a 5%-threshold action plan, GDPR Art. 32 tooling (DSAR queue, PII access log, retention policy), a tamper-evident audit log (SHA-256 hash chain), filing receipts for Revenue (IE), HMRC (UK), Finanzamt (DE) and equivalents in NL, BE, FR and PL, plus anomaly detection and a live Compliance Health Score on the Company Dashboard.

What is Payday IQ?+

Payday IQ is the payroll manager's cockpit on the Company Dashboard. It surfaces anomalies, pension auto-enrolment alerts, missing demographic data and pre-flight checks for every pay run — so payroll teams catch issues before they hit a payslip rather than after.

What is Year In Pay?+

Year In Pay is a rolling 12-month review inside each employee's Insights tab. It summarises total gross, net, tax and pension contributions, highlights pension tax relief and AVC headroom, flags high-tax months without pension, and shows the employee's best earning month — all from data already in their payslips.

What's the difference between Compliance and Workforce IQ?+

Compliance is the audit-readiness tier: pay-gap report, EU Pay Transparency disclosure, DSAR queue, tamper-evident audit trail, filing receipts and pension auto-enrolment monitoring. Workforce IQ adds the modelling layer on top: payroll forecasting, what-if modelling (salary, headcount, tax and pension scenarios), payroll impact simulation against proposed legislation, leaver-risk and retention analytics, and the versioned payroll-rules engine with approvals.

How secure are employee payslips?+

Every payslip is stored encrypted at rest with EU data residency. Access is gated by row-level security, scoped to the employee and their authorised admins, and protected by passkeys / WebAuthn on supported devices. Every read and download is recorded in the tamper-evident audit log (SHA-256 hash chain), so you have a defensible record of who saw what and when.

Can employees access previous payslips?+

Yes. Every employee gets a branded self-serve portal with their full payslip history, P60s and contracts available for download at any time — no email chasing, no re-issuing. Year In Pay surfaces the last 12 months as a single insight, and the underlying documents stay available for the life of the workspace.

How does the Company Handbook work?+

Each workspace gets a built-in Company Handbook for policies, procedures and statements of intent. Admins publish versioned sections, employees acknowledge them from their portal, and every acknowledgement is timestamped into the audit log — giving you a defensible record that staff have read and accepted current policy.

Which countries and currencies are supported?+

Payroll calculations cover IE, UK, DE, NL, BE, FR and PL — tax labels, currency and statutory bands switch automatically per workspace. Default pricing is in EUR; GBP, PLN and USD are available at checkout with localised rates.

Do you charge for setup or onboarding?+

No setup fee on Solo, Starter, Compliance or Workforce IQ. Enterprise includes dedicated onboarding, historical data migration and a custom DPA at no extra cost.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes — 30 days on every tier, no credit card required to start.
