A new feature has just been added to help those of you managing multiple employers. We now have Employer Groups. You can set up as many groups as you like and you can then add employers to those groups.

There's just no escaping CSV files. They're everywhere. We already support importing many types of data from CSV files, but we've just added two more.

Thanks to how easy it is to integrate other systems in to our payroll software, we now have a number of clients that are paying employees on an ad-hoc basis. Their systems tell our systems how many hours should be paid and the rest all happens by magic.
10th Jan '20
It's rare that we're asked if our software can do something and the answer is 'no'. But one of those things is daily payroll. When it comes to doing PAYE daily, it's tricky as it's not something HMRC recognises.

We're welcoming 2020 with the addition of a few new reports. Holiday Report - Found in the 'Employees' section of the 'Reports' area, the Holiday Report gives you an overview of the leave allowances for all of your employees at once.

Unlike other blog posts, this one is going to get quite technical. If you don't know your JSON from your XML then this one might not be for you.
27th Nov '19
We already have the ability to create departments and to add employees to a department (or multiple departments). That gives you a single level of analysis for your data which is sufficient for most of you
5th Nov '19
Two big features that we've felt we're missing are an Employer Portal and an Employee Portal. There may only be one letter differentiating the two but they're very different beasts
4th Nov '19
We've made a number of small-ish tweaks in the past month, we've listed some of them here
3rd Oct '19
A new feature we've just added will make life a lot easier for those of you that are managing multiple employers. You can now configure the system so that when you create a new employer it copies settings from an already existing employer

Our Cloud CIS functionality has proven remarkably popular. I didn't realise just how little there was out there in terms of cloud-based, modern software for people paying subcontractors under the CIS scheme.

We're trying to stay away from any HR functionality as there are already a lot of great products out there for that. We want to stay very focused on payroll. Managing leave and holiday allowances falls in to that fuzzy space between HR and payroll and it's something some of you have said you really need.
19th Sep '19
We've just introduced global search to make it easy for you to find employers, employees or help articles from anywhere within the application.
11th Sep '19
We now have full support for payrolling benefits. This is a new(ish) method for reporting employees benefits throughout the year rather than on a P11D at the end of the year.

Until today the CSV Importer for payments only supported importing the basic pay amount for a paylsip. You couldn't use this tool to import additional lines to a payslip. Now you can. Simply include the employee multiple times in the CSV file.
1st Sep '19
Whilst you've always been able to set the basic payment to employees as being either a fixed amount, an hourly rate or a day rate - when it came to adding additional lines you only had the option to add or deduct a fixed amount. Not any more

Umbrella companies have to do some pretty complex calculations to work out how much to pay an employee. This sounded like a challenge, so we've started building features to make these calculations as easy as 1, 2, 3.
20th Aug '19
Not as exciting or magical as last weeks new feature, but still very useful. You can now easily pay employees for mileage in their own cars.
15th Aug '19
We've just released a big update to the automation side of things. The options for auto emails after payruns have expanded.
6th Aug '19
July wasn't so quiet after all, lots of new features have been added in the last month or so
26th Jun '19
The latest product additions are detailed below. There's a lot to like! Benefits, P11D and P11D(B). You can now record benefits for employees and create and submit the required P11Ds and P11D(B) at the end of the year. Which of course we'll do automatically for you

If you're already running payroll in another system then you can easily get started with Staffology or just see what it has to offer by importing an FPS file from your current software. What's an FPS? Every time you pay your employees your payroll software has to create a Full Payment Submission (FPS) file and send it to HMRC.
28th May '19
This month has mostly been focused on behind-the-scenes speed improvements and improved accounting integrations.. Accounting Integration. A journal entry will now automatically be posted to your accounting software when you finalise a payrun.
30th Apr '19
Another month gone and a raft of new features added to Staffology Payroll. Read on to discover what we've added in the last four weeks. NEST Integration. We're now fully integrated with NEST Pensions, so your pension contributions can now be automagically sent.
26th Mar '19
Just because we've now officially launched, doesn't mean that development has slowed down. We've added lots of new features in the past few weeks. Payroll Automation. Not everyone has the development resources
18th Mar '19
It's official. Staffology has now launched. This morning TechCrunch published a post breaking the news. The first (or was it the second?) phase is now over. The hard work of getting a product to market is done now the hard work of getting customers to love us begins.
4th Mar '19
It's great to see so many of you making use of the software over the last month and many are now confident enough to be using it as a live payroll system.
5th Feb '19
The last update I posted was just before Christmas. Since then we've had a nice mention on AccountingWeb that ruffled a few feathers, and of course lots of progress on the software. I was aiming to get the software ready for public beta testing by the end of January and I'm pleased to say I reached that goal. Now anyone can sign up to try it out.
21st Dec '18
I thought I'd send a final Staffology update for the year before we all wind down for a bit over Christmas. There has been lots of progress in the past 3 weeks. Specifically: 1) Email: We've gone from zero email functionality to a lot of email-related features.
30th Nov '18
Since I announced the Staffology private beta a couple of weeks ago, lots more has been done based on your feedback. Below is a list of some of the changes and a heads-up on what we're now working on. Do let me know if you have any suggestions on what we should add/change or what the priorities should be.
