Zellis Payroll & Financial wellbeing
Our best-of-breed payroll is highly configurable and scalable, meeting the most demanding requirements while unlocking real efficiencies.
Our payroll solution helps you to strengthen your legislative compliance according to the territory in which you work, including local gender pay gap monitoring, off-payroll working regulations and CEO pay ratio reporting.
Proven at scale. The most advanced payroll engine in the market, supporting customers from 1,000 to 100,000+ employees with no limits on the number of pay groups or pension schemes, and which is used to pay more than 3 million people every month. Our highly sophisticated single-instance payroll engine can be easily configured to meet even the most complex requirements in both private and public sector organisations, supporting excellent payroll accuracy.
Compliant core. Market-leading levels of payroll compliance built into the core product. With over 400 automated checks and controls, such as running pension auto-enrolments and opt outs, background calculations for average holiday pay and full audit capability.
Unlike other solutions, ours provides multi-territory support catering for the UK, the Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, Gibraltar, and the Isle of Man. We automate more National Minimum Wage compliance than other products in the market. Pensions and benefits are fully integrated into the system (including P11D modules), keeping your employees informed of their rewards.
We’re constantly looking for ways to make our software faster and more flexible, providing essential functionality for complex organisations with many different departments.
The NMW functionality in our payroll software is the most advanced in the market, helping customers support their employees and minimise the risk of a costly, reputationally damaging NMW breach. It's all delivered as an efficient, automated process. Features include:
Identify employees at the control group or employee level for minimum wage checks, including apprentices (UK only) to ensure they are being paid enough.
Customise the number of weeks per year value to be used in the calculation.
Configure the pay elements to be included/excluded.
Receive payroll calculate exception messages.
Generate historic NMW checks.
Alert messages for employees who have fallen below the NMW/NLW.
Enhanced reporting, including various report versions, reporting on specific age ranges, worker types, and reporting employees whose birthday falls in the next pay period and will enter the next age brackets.
Widgets and reports available: Assess a snapshot of the NMW check results through the dashboard widget, view the NMW check results, create ad-hoc NMW reports and evaluate how much more it would cost to pay the Real Living Wage.
We support both UK and ROI legislation. For the UK average holiday pay is a complex area of payroll with recent case law (e.g. Harper Trust v Brazel) adding further complexity. Zellis HCM Cloud handles it efficiently.
We calculate the average weekly pay based on the last 52 paid weeks, ensuring the correct weeks are excluded from the AHP calculation when certain absences are taken for the whole work week. Zellis HCM Cloud generates the weekly AHP based on the weekly tax calendar instead of the employee's actual pay frequency and exclude weeks where there is no pay.
Zellis Payroll supports compliant reporting for both the UK and ROI legislation. Organisations with 250 or more employees are required to publish information showing whether there is a difference in pay between the average (mean or median) earnings of men and women across a workforce.
Zellis gender pay gap functionality is designed to help you meet your obligations as easily as possible. We also offer a full gender pay review working with our Reward Consultants who can help you understand the causes of the gender pay gap within your organisation and explore further options for advice and support including pay structure design, job levelling, and development of pay policies to address the gender pay gap.
Our financial wellbeing solutions provide employees with access to tools designed to improve their financial wellbeing, all built around their pay.
Our solutions help strengthen the bond between employers and employees by providing best-in-class, engaging, and convenient employment applications to your colleagues, enabling fast, straightforward communication and complete control of data.
Zellis provides several solutions to support your employees' financial wellbeing, including:
MyView PayNow for early wage access and savings
MyPay Pro with interactive payroll advice
Work Report™ for employment and income verification
Financial empowerment
Work Report from Experian is a powerful employment and income verification service which gives your people fast digital verification for improved access to mortgages, tenancy applications, and loans.
Most credit applications require income and employment verification. Work Report securely collects and shares the minimum amount of information needed for the application. Your people can therefore carry out applications quickly and accurately, without worrying about sharing additional personal data unnecessarily.
MyPay Pro helps reduce the number of queries your team has to deal with by breaking down net pay, gross pay, and deductions in your employee dashboard.
It also enables your staff to see changes from one pay period to another and how these changes have impacted their pay, and to access FAQs that are specific to your organisation.
Employees can quickly save and download payslips from within the app too, providing a fast and engaging user experience that makes everyone feel in control.
Our customers are subject to a wide range of statutory reporting requirements. This applies across employers with reporting to tax authorities in the UK and Ireland and other jurisdictions. Most customers are also required to do Gender Pay Gap reporting and many also have to carry out CEO Pay Ratio reporting.
Zellis HCM Cloud Payroll Edition supports customers by making this reporting as automated and seamless as possible.
In addition, our payroll dashboard, powered by Power BI, delivers a suite of reports for both payroll and non-payroll users such as line managers and senior managers across customers’ organisations. By providing operational insight, these reports reduce payroll errors, improve compliance, and highlight key information to identify risks and savings.
Our HRD and DEI dashboards provide key information in a format that's easy to access and understand. Both support decision making, illustrating the patterns and changes in customer workforces through interactive and clear data visualisations. These give customers the insights that drive action in a timely and reliable way.
“Working with Zellis has already made a huge difference to how we work and the quality of the payroll and HR services we deliver to our employees. We’re looking forward to further strengthening our partnership over the months and years to come.”
