IRIS 12Pay

Review:

IRIS 12Pay provides U.K.-based businesses with robust payroll management services to efficiently streamline payroll calculations, reconciliation reports, and payment schedules. The platform is well-priced and offers a free plan for small companies on a tight budget.

While the software features comprehensive payroll and payment processing tools, it lacks built-in time tracking and expense management solutions, and its third-party integrations are rather limited. Users may benefit from more powerful competitors, such as Sage HRMS.

Pros:

• IRIS 12Pay offers a free plan and two competitively priced packages to suit different business needs.
• The platform features comprehensive pay calculations and HMRC filings.
• There are multiple payroll schedules, digital pay slips, and payroll summary reports available.
• The auto-enrollment module includes pension contribution calculations, various enrolment schemes, and team messaging.
• Users can export files and reports to Excel for increased efficiency.
• The platform offers several support guides and documentation to optimize the client onboarding process.

Cons:

• The software does not offer comprehensive tax filing, expense management, or time tracking solutions.
• IRIS 12Pay lacks third-party integrations.
• The platform is limited to U.K.-based payroll.
