Benefits of Samera Payroll
Your payroll is secure
All our payroll data is automatically backed up online every fifteen minutes, as well as every time an employer file is closed to ensure that no data is ever lost.
Samera ensures that any updates will be reviewed and checked before it is automatically updated. All users will automatically check to see any updated versions of the file. This ensures that if you, or anyone on your team, has made any changes, our team will be able to see, review and download the latest version you have edited and review it for you.
You have the control
We give our clients access to their own online employer portal. This service allows us to ensure the smoothest payroll process for you, while also allowing you to oversee everything that is happening on our end. This also allows you to easily give us all the information straight from your side through our software. You don’t need to hound your accountants or need to be hounded for paperwork by your accountant! Our software allows a seamless process for all parties from start to finish.
By using Samera’s payroll services, we have equal online access to payroll data as well as you. We operate all of our clients’ accounts while each employer has their own online employer portal, which means that you can directly take care of any request yourself.
Easily check payroll entry
With Samera you are able to send a ‘Payroll Entry Request’ where you will be asked to confirm employees’ payments for that pay period. If needed, we can quickly and easily enter details of any changes for that pay period, such as new starter details or adding bonus pay for an employee.
With various employees on your payroll, most of whom are bound to work variable hours, you have the option to upload their specific timesheets to your secure online portal. This ensures that we get the correct information directly from you. This function also serves as a great reminder to easily update payroll information that might have otherwise been forgotten.
The measures we have put in place works efficiently for both parties. It is a direct method of sending, receiving, and storing payroll data leaving those endless back and forth emails to finalise payroll redundant. It is important to note that once we have reviewed the information you have submitted, it is automatically stored on the payroll software, therefore reducing the risk of any errors being made.

Evolving ways of working
Covid-19 has, undoubtedly, brought about many changes to the workplace. Of course, it is a lot easier to manage a team of people when they are all working similar hours in the same location; however, that is not always the default case anymore. While remote working has its advantages, it has also proven to bring about many challenges for employers and employees both, which is where Samera’s services come in.
Businesses have to quickly learn and evolve their businesses to work with the new normal. This is why Samera has introduced BrightPay to all our clients in order to help clients manage staff while working from remote locations and different schedules. This is a great opportunity for you and your business. Our services work efficiently and in turn, help your business run as efficiently as possible without any time-consuming conversations, paperwork or mistakes happening along the way.
