Product
Everything a firm needs to run client payroll
One workspace for all your clients, with the controls an accounting firm expects.
Every client, one login
Manage multiple companies and pay groups side by side. Salaried and hourly staff, vacation pay and leave handled in each pay run.
Year-end without the scramble
T4 slips and summaries, PD7A remittance figures and pay stubs produced from the same numbers you reviewed.
Clean general ledger entries
Export balanced payroll journal entries, mapped to each client's chart of accounts.
Industry pay lines
Overtime, shift premiums, bonuses and other earning types set up once per client and reused every run.
Tally, if you use it
Firms on TallyPrime can post payroll journals straight into Tally. Optional, and switched on per firm.
How it works
From timesheet to remittance in four steps
- 01
Set up the client
Add the company, pay groups and employees, including TD1 claims.
- 02
Enter the period
Hours, salary, leave and extra earnings for the pay period.
- 03
Review the run
Every deduction is shown line by line. Nothing is final until you approve it.
- 04
Pay and report
Pay stubs, GL entries and remittance figures, then T4s at year-end.
Security & privacy
Built to hold your clients' most sensitive data
Payroll means SINs, salaries and bank details. We treat that seriously from the first line of code.
Stored in Canada
Payroll data lives in Canadian data centres and is processed in Canada.
Encrypted SINs
Social Insurance Numbers are encrypted at rest and masked on screen.
Firm-level isolation
Each firm sees only its own clients. Access is by invitation from your firm's admin.
Human review first
Nothing is filed or posted without a person approving it.
Strong sign-in
Individual accounts with enforced password rules. Multi-factor sign-in is on the way.
Privacy by design
We collect only what payroll needs and follow PIPEDA principles.
Built with CPAs
Made for how Canadian firms actually work
Payrule is being built alongside practising Canadian accountants. We start with the work that eats your time every pay period and every January, then keep going.
- Multi-client from day one. Not a small-business tool with a firm view added later.
- Transparent numbers. See how each deduction was calculated, so you can answer client questions.
- Fair pricing. Priced for firms running many small clients.
