FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
We already use SimplePay. What changes?
Nothing. Synthro connects to your existing SimplePay account. Your payroll continues exactly as today — Synthro just syncs leave, timesheets, and employee records automatically. Setup takes under 15 minutes.
Sage HR costs R28/employee. Why is Synthro more expensive?
Sage HR handles leave. That is roughly all it does for SA businesses. Synthro adds performance reviews, goals, payroll sync, CCMA evidence export, B-BBEE tracking, and an AI trained on SA labour law. The correct comparison is not Sage HR — it is what you currently pay your labour lawyer, B-BBEE auditor, and HR consultant combined.
We manage everything in Excel. How hard is it to switch?
Import employees from CSV. Connect SimplePay in minutes. Most teams are fully operational within an hour of signing up. No data migration service required. Most teams are fully live within the first working day.
How long does setup take?
The average time from sign-up to first leave request approved through Synthro is 15 minutes. Full payroll sync and compliance modules are typically configured in the first working day.
What if we try it and it does not work for us?
Cancel anytime. No penalty. No lock-in. Your data exports in full. We would rather lose you cleanly than keep you unhappily.
What is the difference between Basic and Premium?
Basic (R49.99/user) includes core employee records, leave management, document storage, and BCEA compliance. Premium (R199.99/user) adds NALA AI, geolocation clock-in, SimplePay integration, goals, 360° reviews, B-BBEE, SETA reporting, and predictive analytics.
