PayFit — Paying employees has never been easier. PayFit allows SMEs to easily manage the pay and leave of their employees.In 2015, the observation was simple: no employer was satisfied with the solutions used to manage the pay of its employees. No solution allowed a company to manage payroll quickly and without prior expertise. No solution answeredautomatically and securely to the French administrative complexity. There was no solution to centralize all the issues related to employee management on a single tool. No solution offered an intuitive and user-friendly interface for the employer but also for the employee.
