Piece work, minus the worry.

Paying by the bin or the package is fine as long as everyone still clears minimum wage for the hours they worked. PayRoar checks every single cheque against your province's minimum wage and quietly tops up the ones where a slow day fell short.

Enter counts, get cheques

Set a per-package rate for each worker and enter the day's counts at payday. Piece pay can stand alone or stack on top of hourly work; the cheque comes out right either way.

The minimum-wage check runs itself

When you enter hours alongside pieces, every cheque is checked against minimum wage automatically. If the pieces didn't clear it, the top-up is added and shown on the stub.

Seasonal crews handled

Vacation pay builds up through the season and pays out at the end in one click. When workers move on, their leaving dates are recorded for the paperwork.

On every payday

What you get

Everything below works today — one plan, everything included, for every business.

  • Piece-rate pay — per-package rate × the day's count, entered each run.
  • Minimum-wage top-up — checked and added automatically, shown on the stub.
  • Piece + hourly together — combined correctly on the same cheque.
  • Vacation banking — builds all season, pays out at season end.
  • Deductions — CPP, EI and tax right on every cheque, to the cent.
  • Mid-year switching — bring totals from your old system, nothing double-deducted.

What we don't do (yet)

We'd rather tell you now than surprise you later. PayRoar gets every number and document ready for you — moving the money is still yours to do.

  • No direct deposit. You pay your team from your own bank (e-transfer or cheque) using the net pay on each stub.
  • No automatic CRA payments. We tell you exactly how much to send each month; you make the payment yourself.
  • No T4 filing yet. At year-end we fill in every employee's T4 for you; filing is still yours to do. Copy the numbers into the CRA's free online filing tool or hand the slips to your accountant.
  • Alberta, BC and Ontario only, for now.

Make your next payday the easy one.

Set up your company in one sitting. When payday comes, you'll enter the hours, hand out the stubs and be done before your coffee goes cold.
