Our company,SAINTMARC PL. have been using the SMEPAYROLL software from Jan 2016.The system is user-friendly and meets all our requirements of a HR/payroll software. Features that we find extremely useful are: - Employee records are easily stored and retrievable, and it allows us to attach scanned images of NRIC,Certificates,etc. The dashboard provides a good overview of important dates, e.g pending employee confirmation and pass expiry dates - Monthly payroll becomes a breeze.The system is able to compute different salary rates on weekday,weekends and public holidays, among others.It generates the CPF and bank IBG files,in a format that is compatible with CPF Board and the bank for easier submission - The year-end IR8A submission is made simpler,as it will generate the IR8A for all employees.Their system is compatible with IRAS. Overall,the software is straightforward and after the sessions of training prior to using it, we were able to use it effectively.On top of that, SMEPAYROLL has for two year provided timely assistance any time we have inquiries or issues.Their trainers have been extremely helpful and attentive to our needs. We will continue to use the SMEPAYROLL software for a long time.
