Description

InStaff gives growing businesses one employee portal instead of paper and scattered spreadsheets. Employees look up their own paystubs and tax forms, submit timesheets from a phone, request time off, sign documents, and file expenses, which takes the repetitive work off payroll and HR. Pay documents are delivered exactly as your payroll system produces them. Upload the PDF file and InStaff sorts, splits, and posts each stub to the right employee. It works with any payroll system that outputs PDF paystubs, among them Sage 300, Sage 300 CRE, QuickBooks Desktop and Online, Viewpoint Vista, Deltek Costpoint, Sage 50, and Sage 100. Modules include time tracking with geofencing, time-off approvals, documents and e-signatures, announcements and surveys, certification expiry alerts, an employee directory and org chart, and expenses. Pricing is modular, so you pay for what you switch on. Backed by 40+ years of ERP implementation experience. SOC 2 Type II certified, with MFA at no extra cost. 14-day free trial.

Product Features

Human Resources

InStaff is a comprehensive employee management platform designed for small to mid-sized teams that still rely on traditional methods like paperwork and email for HR administration. Through the portal, employees can easily access their paystubs and tax documents, submit timesheets via mobile devices, request time off, accept policies and contracts, as well as manage expense claims. The HR department retains oversight with customizable approval workflows for time-off requests, role-specific permissions that control access to information, and certification tracking that alerts when credentials are nearing expiration. Additionally, the platform features an employee directory, organizational chart, company announcements, and surveys, all accessible in one convenient location. With a modular pricing structure, organizations can activate only the features they require and expand as needed in the future. InStaff is SOC 2 Type II certified, offers multi-factor authentication at no additional cost, and is compliant with PIPEDA regulations. It supports multiple languages, including English, French, and Spanish, and is accessible from any web browser without the need for app installation. To date, over 400,000 employees have been successfully onboarded, with most teams operational within a few weeks as data migration is seamlessly integrated during the onboarding process. A 14-day free trial is also available for potential users.

Pay Stub Generators

InStaff does not create paystubs; instead, it utilizes the paystubs generated by your existing payroll system. Simply upload the PDF from your payroll processing, and InStaff will efficiently organize, separate, and distribute each stub to the appropriate employee automatically. Employees will access the exact documents produced by your payroll software without any alterations. With InStaff, employees have round-the-clock self-service access to their complete pay history and tax documents from any web browser, eliminating the need for payroll to handle reprint requests each cycle. The default document retention period is seven years. InStaff is compatible with any payroll system that can generate a PDF paystub, such as Sage 300, Sage 300 CRE, Sage 50, Sage 100, QuickBooks Desktop and Online, Viewpoint Vista, Viewpoint Spectrum, Deltek Costpoint, Foundation, and Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Even if your system isn't listed but can produce PDFs, it is likely still compatible. Your payroll process remains unchanged, and there is no requirement to manually enter pay data into an additional system.
