Managing payroll is easy!

Yes, e-PayDay FREEPAY® is only limited by the number of employees you can enter (or terminate) before having to move to a paid plan.

With our free pay slip generator, pay slips can be emailed or accessed from the free employee self service mobile app. You can also download a Pay Slip PDF template.

There is very little difference between e-PayDay FREEPAY® and e-PayDay Go®. Both products share the same foundation and unified codebase. e-PayDay FREEPAY® is marketed to those that are have a micro or small busines and are looking to start with a free or low cost Single Touch Payroll product.

The first three employees won't cost you anything, 100% free, including Single Touch Payroll (Phase 2) and Payday Super reporting! When you want to add more employees, it's as simple as choosing the plan that best suits your needs. We have always provided tiered plans, allowing you to stay in total control of your payroll costs and making management easy. We are aware of a few payroll products that offer the ability to add an unlimited number of employees free of charge. However, providing a comprehensive payroll offering costs a substantial amount of money to develop and maintain. We have asked our team to work for free, but they selfishly expect payment for the outstanding efforts they perform. Since 1987, we have continued to build comprehensive payroll solutions and do not want to provide you with a product that offers minimal features and functionality. After all, a standard is required to meet Fair Work and Australian Taxation Office compliance requirements. If specific functionality is missing, you must continually request features because you cannot meet your legal obligations.

There isn't one! The first three (3) employees are always 100% free. You can use e-PayDay FREEPAY® and pay nothing, zero, zilch, nada, nix, naught.

We believe every employer should have access to comprehensive cloud Single Touch Payroll software, so we made it free to pay your first three (3) employees.

Customers who have chosen a paid Subscription Plan cannot downgrade to the FREEPAY Plan.
