Changing payroll systems can be simple - with the right partner

Payroll is complex
It’s more than just paying people. Payroll depends on precise processes, flexible systems, and outputs that meet the needs of every stakeholder.

Achieving real ROI is challenging
A payroll migration impacts people, processes, and systems simultaneously. Without the right approach, projects can miss expectations and consume extra budget. Affinity’s proven implementation method ensures your investment delivers measurable returns.

Not every system excels at payroll
Many platforms claim to handle payroll, HR, and everything in between – but few specialise in the complexity of Australian and New Zealand payroll legislation, awards, and enterprise requirements. Affinity does payroll, and only payroll.

Your system must grow with you
A payroll platform should scale with your organisation, adapt to new legislation, and handle complex pay scenarios with ease. Affinity’s configurable SaaS platform is built for long-term flexibility.

Expert support when it matters most
Even the most capable internal payroll teams benefit from an experienced partner. That’s why Affinity offers SaaS, supported, and fully managed models – giving you the right level of help, exactly when you need it.

“Affinity provides fantastic customer service.”

“User-friendly product and best of all, the Affinity team provides fantastic customer service support which is personable, competent and convenient.”
