Benefits of our payroll software

See how our cloud-based payroll software helps you run payroll faster and with fewer errors.

Fully in sync with your employee data

Payroll stays perfectly in sync with your people data. With Zelt’s payroll software, any new joiners, promotions, overtime and pay changes flow directly into payroll and are stored in one system - so your records are always accurate, auditable, and payroll-ready.

Pay accurately and on-time, every time

Eliminate the 'black box' of payroll calculations. Automate the calculations around pro-rating, paid and unpaid absences, attendance records and benefits. Our payroll management software clearly connects records to final take-home pay, building trust and reducing payroll queries for your HR team.

Visibility for managers and employees

Enable managers to review pay data in advance and track changes across payruns in a single view with our payroll automation software. Give your team real-time access to all their data and payslips.

UK payroll, without the admin

Run payroll on a single platform built around UK compliance. As a cloud-based payroll solution, Zelt handles HMRC RTI submissions, pensions, and statutory pay without admin burden or data fragmentation. If you also employ people outside the UK, Zelt support payroll in other regions too, including GCC WPS exports and South African payroll.

Features of our payroll software

Here are the features and advantages of our cloud-based payroll software.

Native & HMRC Recognised UK payroll software

UK-based payroll software designed for UK compliance, fully integrated with HMRC for RTI submissions and built in line with UK legislation, so your filings are always accurate, on time, and compliant without manual exports, third-party bridging software, or having to check.

Timesheets & Attendance Sync

Scheduled hours and attendance flow directly into payroll. Leave, overtime, and worked hours all convert into correct payslip line items automatically, without manual calculation or re-entry.

24/7 UK support

A dedicated UK-based support team available around the clock, so payroll issues get resolved quickly, not queued behind a ticket system.

Automated compliance

Pension auto-enrolment, statutory pay (SSP, SMP, SPP), and pro-rating calculated automatically, keeping every payrun compliant by default.

Easy-to-use

Simple enough for HR generalists to run payroll confidently, without needing a dedicated payroll specialist on staff.

Integrations

Zelt payroll software seamlessly integrates with your accounting software (Xero, Quickbooks, etc.) as well as your existing pension providers, HR tools and EOR platforms. No need to log into multiple platforms to manage your payroll.

Frequently asked questions

Can an HRIS like Zelt run payroll too?

In Zelt's case, yes! Our HRIS and payroll have been built from the ground up to work together (not through acquisitions). This means both systems are fully in sync, so you can manage people, time, and pay in one system without juggling multiple tools or duplicate data entry.

Which regions does Zelt Payroll support?

Zelt offers end-to-end payroll in the UK (including full HMRC integration), the GCC region, and select countries across Europe and APAC. Reach out to see if we can support you!

How does Zelt protect payroll data?

Zelt uses enterprise-grade security to keep payroll data safe - from SSO integrations with Google, Okta, and Azure, to fine-grained permission controls. All changes are logged with full audit trails, and sensitive info is collected securely (never over email). We’re also ISO 27001 certified and offer secure integrations with pensions and accounting tools.

Does Zelt support shift-based or hourly workers?

Yes! Zelt automates everything from clock-ins to pay slips for hourly and shift-based teams. Our payroll software delivers accurate payroll without the manual hassle with custom pay codes, overtime rules, real-time shift tracking, and bulk timesheet management.

What global payroll platforms does Zelt integrate with?

If you're using a global payroll provider for EOR and other global workforce needs, Zelt integrates with leading platforms like Deel, Oyster, and Remote.
