The HRIS solution favored by startups for managing payroll and HR processes internally.
Payfit: Manage your payroll internally under expert control#
Startups' favorite HR tool#
Do you want to internalize your payroll management to keep control of your HR processes, integrate onboarding and easily manage leave? PayFit is the reference HRIS tool for growing startups and SMEs.
Our "Payfit Premium" support#
Managing your payroll alone on PayFit involves risks. Hayot Expertise intervenes as a control layer:
- Initial configuration audit: We check that the rules of your collective agreement (Syntec, etc.) are correctly configured in the tool before the first payroll run.
- Monthly review and validation: Before closing the payroll, our social expert carries out a consistency check of gross, contributions and absences.
- DSN control: We validate the sending of the DSN and the perfect alignment with URSSAF payments.
Enjoy the PayFit user experience, with the security of an accounting firm.
Why PayFit still needs an accounting firm beside it#
PayFit makes the user experience simpler, but it does not make social regulation any simpler. Collective agreements, edge cases and reporting obligations stay genuinely technical, whatever the interface looks like. That gap is exactly where we add value. When payroll is handled internally, the team needs a safety net: we audit the configuration, the pay items, the leave balances and the accounting impacts so that silent drift never builds up unnoticed from one month to the next.
The software also has to talk to your books. We make sure the exports are clean and that payroll entries, employer contributions and provisions are recorded correctly, rather than imported and forgotten. Startups reach hybrid topics very quickly: equity instruments, leave, variable pay, departures, status changes and international growth. These are the grey areas where real support makes the difference between a tidy file and a costly correction later.
What PayFit delivers when it is properly framed#
Used well, PayFit gives HR and office management teams genuine autonomy over new joiners, absences, documents and variable items. It gives the founder clear visibility on staff cost and the social calendar without chasing scattered email threads. And it gives employees a smoother experience for onboarding, paperwork and day to day administrative follow up. The point is not autonomy for its own sake; it is autonomy turned into a reliable process.
Which companies fit PayFit best#
PayFit suits startups and scale-ups that want to bring part of payroll in house while keeping a firm in a control role. It works for growing SMEs looking for an HR and payroll solution that non specialists can pick up. It fits service led or digital businesses that already run on a strong tool stack and need everyday autonomy, as well as companies that want to industrialise their HR administration without immediately recruiting a full payroll department.
How we secure your PayFit setup#
We start by auditing what exists: employees, statuses, collective agreements, current payroll habits, calendars and existing friction points. We then validate the PayFit configuration and the way variable items are collected, so nothing is missed at the last minute. We review payslips, the DSN and the accounting entries the payroll generates on a regular basis. And we step in on technical or exceptional matters such as senior hires, exits, severance, adjustments, headcount growth or preparation for international expansion.
Points to watch before relying on the tool#
Confusing autonomy with the absence of control leads quickly to repeated mistakes on variable items and statuses. Accounting exports should never be reused without review, because an automatically imported entry is not necessarily ready for the year end close. Specific social situations such as terminations, benefits in kind or complex bonuses call for an expert reading. And fast growing startups change their social reality quickly, so the configuration has to evolve with them rather than stay frozen.
What you gain is concrete: smoother payroll for the internal team, HR decisions better connected to accounting, cash flow and employer cost, fewer late corrections and more peace of mind on the monthly DSN.
