Zoho Payroll setup and payroll migration
We set up Zoho Payroll with your salary structures and statutory settings, migrate your current data and run the first payroll with you.
The short answer
Zoho Payroll calculates salaries and deductions, produces payslips and prepares the figures for statutory payments, with a portal where employees see their own details. It is available in selected countries, including India. BookMyTechies configures your pay structures, migrates year-to-date figures and checks the first payroll against your existing one.

Zoho Payroll automates the monthly pay run. These are its main capabilities.

Is Zoho Payroll the right fit?
Zoho Payroll suits businesses in the countries it supports.
A strong fit when
- You run payroll on spreadsheets or outdated software
- You are in a country Zoho Payroll covers
- You use, or plan to use, Zoho People and Zoho Books
- You want employees to access payslips themselves
Look elsewhere when
- Your employees are in countries Zoho Payroll does not support
- You have complex multi-country payroll
- You prefer to outsource payroll entirely
