Frequently Asked Questions

Can we switch mid year, or do we have to wait until 1 April?

Switch whenever suits you. The start of a tax year is tidy, but it's not a requirement and plenty of businesses move in the middle of one. The thing that matters more is switching between pay runs rather than partway through one, so there's a clean line between the old system and the new. Tell us when your next pay day lands and we'll work back from there.

What happens to our employee data and leave balances?

They come across with you. You export from Xero Payrol and bring in employee details, pay rates, KiwiSaver settings, year to date totals and leave balances. Leave is the part worth slowing down for. Holiday pay in Aotearoa is genuinely fiddly and a balance that lands wrong here shows up months later as someone's leave being short. So we can check the balances with you before your first pay run, not after it.

We use Xero for our accounts. Does Thankyou Payroll still work with it?

Yes. Your pays keep landing in Xero as journals, so your accountant opens the books and sees what they've always seen. Payroll and accounting are two different jobs. Leaving one doesn't mean leaving the other.

Who takes care of payday filing while we're changing over?

We do, from your first pay run with us. Your last pays in Xero are filed under your old setup, and everything from the switch onwards is filed by us. When you move to Thankyou Payroll, we also handle your IRD payments too. That's one more job off your list.
