Here’s what you need to know when it’s time to migrate

We will be in to touch along the way before you come to your renewal to guide you through the process.

  1. Ready to get started

    4 months

    You will have received a notification via email to get ready to upgrade. It’s a good time to check out the 12Pay help centre to find out more about the process.

  2. Staffology Contract

    3 months

    You will be sent a new contract closer to the time of your current contractual renewal date. You can work with our sales teams to request an amended offer to suit your business’s needs. Create an account and take a trial to familiarise yourself with Staffology.

  3. Contract signed

    2-3 months

    Away we go! Now you’ll be able to access Staffology straight away. Billing will begin on your assigned start date OR when you submit your first pay run within Staffology Payroll.

  4. Migrate your data

    1-2 months

    We’ve created a migration tool to make the process as easy as possible! It’s as simple as inputting a key from your old system into your new one. You can read more about this and watch a demonstration within the 12Pay Help Centre.

     

How much will it cost? 

Staffology Payroll has a different cost model to 12Pay where you pay per payslip – and that cost reduced as you add more payslips. You’ll need to commit to a 12 month contract, and will be billed on a monthly basis in arrears for the number of payslips you use.
