Say goodbye to payroll headaches with Ciphr

Payroll software from Ciphr. Built for control, not just speed 

A payslip that’s wrong because a change landed after cut-off. A tax code updated by hand and missed. A report that takes an afternoon because payroll and HR don’t share a record. Ciphr Payroll runs on the same data as HR, so the numbers are right the first time, not the second.

A payslip that’s wrong because a change landed after cut-off. A tax code updated by hand and missed. A report that takes an afternoon because payroll and HR don’t share a record. Ciphr Payroll runs on the same data as HR, so the numbers are right the first time, not the second.

Payroll control you can trust

Compliant by design, controlled by your team 

The software is HMRC-recognised and fully RTI-compliant, with legislation updates applied automatically, so your team is never running last year’s rules on this year’s pay. 

Employees get secure, anytime access to their own payslips, P60s, P45s and P11Ds, so the request doesn’t land back in your inbox. Automated backpay and holiday pay handle backdated adjustments without a manual re-run.

Integrates with HR software for greater data accuracy

An API-first system, whether payroll stands alone or connects to HR

Our API supports payroll integration with the systems you already run. Run payroll on its own, or natively alongside Ciphr HR with no re-keying between the two.

 “It was really easy for people to use, it made sense to go with Ciphr as payroll links through to HR.”

Switch payroll software with confidence

Switch with two parallel runs, not a leap of faith

A payroll move typically runs around three months, including two parallel pay-run cycles where Ciphr runs alongside your existing payroll and proves the numbers match before you switch over.

What to ask before you switch

How long does it take to go live?

With Ciphr, moving to your new payroll software will take around three months. This includes two parallel pay runs to provide the numbers before we switch to your new system. 

Do we need Ciphr HR as well?

No. Payroll runs standalone or alongside Ciphr HR, your choice. 

What does it cost?

It depends, based on your organisation's headcount. Talk to us and we’ll build a quote around your organisation.
