It integrates with other systems, i.e. bank. There are several tools, and their help is always there. When we first started with the system, we were expecting more complexly that there was. The results were spot on. SO much better than our previous system.

Global leader in payroll managment.

Payroll by Wave is efficient and fits well in a scenario where a company aims to expedite the process of payroll management and bring automation where the payroll is updated on time and in an error free manner. It will enable preparation of payroll on time and ensure that employees are able to view the payroll prior to payday and have any errors available are rectified on time.

Great for small business payroll needs. Reports and taxes are taken care of, everything is automated and once you're set up it's literally just a matter of minutes to run payroll each time. You also get email reminders which is helpful. There are premium features available for companies with larger/more robust needs, and I would definitely recommend looking into this software if you are searching for a user friendly payroll solution.

A great tool... if you're already in the Wave ecosystem.

Payroll by Wave is a simple tool - and of course it requires you to be inside the Wave ecosystem. So if you are invoicing and accounting with Wave, you are probably a small mom 'n pop setup in search of low-maintenance and cost-effective software. Payroll is a good complement to your Wave account.
