PointC Payroll

Mainly intended for most Australian businesses, PointC Payroll is a useful piece of software that makes it as simple as possible for you to run a tight ship when it comes to managing payrolls and pay runs for your employees.
It basically allows you to create and edit entire pay runs with the least amount of effort, and it's also capable of automatically calculating the superannuation, other tax scales, including for casual or part-time workers, as well as the pay lines or other awards dedicated to new employees.

Novice-accessible utility for creating payrolls

Getting this app up and running should pose absolutely no problem, regardless of your experience levels and the comprehensive and very useful documentation should make the learning curve as smooth as possible.
Once launched for the first time, you are met by a very intuitive and functional UI. There's a top toolbar that encompasses all the main sections of the apps, namely Payroll Files, Current pay, Payroll Options, Payroll Dates, Pay Bills, Reports, Tax Files, and Help, each of one of which featuring different sets of sub-menus.

Almost fully automatic pay runs and the possibility to  export comprehensive financial reports

As with all apps of this sort, it does require a bit of time spend in order to fill out a few important sections, such as Company Details, Supplier Details, and Employee Details, followed by filling out the Job Titles, Grades, Departments, Locations, and Bank Accounts.
Also worth pointing out is the fact that PointC Payroll allows you to preview comprehensive on-screen reports and, even better, it makes it possible for you to export them to formats such as PDF, RTF, HTML, JPG, Quattro, Lotus, Report Emulation Text or Text.

Surprisingly capable payroll application, mainly designed for Australian businesses

With all that said, it's quite apparent that PointC Payroll is a competent application for managing payrolls of various types of businesses, not only from Australia. The app bundles a useful set of features, a very straightforward UI with an intuitive layout, it's easy to install, easy to work with, and it's appropriately-documented, as well.
