Anybody from the payroll department can tell you that there's more to payroll processing than just paying employees every month. The checklist of things to do never seems to end, and the saying "time is gold" fits like a glove.
Even before a pay run, payroll staffs spend countless hours collecting information from multiple departments. The HR department shares details on employee compensation, new hires, retirements, and terminations. The finance team contributes ad-hoc payments like bonuses. From the leave and attendance management system, you get information on employee attendance and LOP information for accurate payroll calculation. Even employees submit information, like bills for reimbursement claims and tax-saving records. That doesn't even include keeping up with the numerous tax regulations and payroll laws. It takes a lot of dashing around to get all of this information on time, every month, and if you're a small business owner trying to do it all alone, it is nothing short of overwhelming.
With Zoho Payroll, we're trying to simplify payroll one location at a time. We're already supporting the payroll needs of US businesses in the states of California and Texas, with plans to expand to other states soon. Today, we are happy to introduce to you a complete end-to-end payroll solution custom-built for Indian businesses. It's a comprehensive system that empowers you to provide a polished, efficient payroll process for your employees.
Take a deeper look at how Zoho Payroll helps businesses in India to transform their hectic month-by-month experience into smooth sailing.

When are going to have payroll with Florida module?
We are doing payroll for three states in the US now. We'd soon spread our wings to cover more states. We can't point a time frame to it, unfortunately.
I would love to see access for the UK
We'd love to be there soon too.

Hi Pavan, Thanks for writing to us. To confirm, Zoho Payroll is a part of the Zoho One Suite. For further clarifications around the licenses, write to us at support@zohopayroll.com, and we will get back to you at the earliest.
Hi Christopher. This is a much awaited and laudable initiative to bring Payroll through Zoho platform. But I have a clarification. I've just checked Zoho Payroll and you know for Manufacturing Employees, like Workers, we cannot provide Emails. How to create Employees if Emails are mandatory?
Hi Akheel, We are glad that you support our initiative to introduce Zoho Payroll for India. To address your query, we are working parallelly on relaxing the need to provide Emails for industries that do not necessarily collect Email addresses from employees. Alternatively, we will be adding a mobile field to help avoid the mandatory email field soon.
