Jade Star

HR and payroll software built for New Zealand organisations

Jade Star is a flexible, scalable and fully integrated people management solution designed and developed for New Zealand businesses.

Jade Star brings HR and payroll software together in one connected system

Managing payroll and people in New Zealand involves more than processing pay. Organisations need to navigate legislation, maintain accurate employee data, and manage processes that can adapt as teams and operational requirements change. 

Jade Star brings HR and payroll software together in one connected system, helping reduce manual workarounds and improve visibility across payroll, leave, employee records, and workforce activity. 

 

Support New Zealand payroll compliance

Manage payroll requirements, including payday filing, with built-in functionality that helps reduce reliance on manual processes and rework.

Reduce admin and improve payroll accuracy

Automate calculations and workflows to minimise payroll errors, reduce manual handling, and create more consistent outcomes across HR and payroll processes.

Adapt to how your organisation operates

Configure pay rules, workflows, and organisational structures to reflect the way your business works, rather than forcing standardised processes.

Connect HR and payroll in one system

Bring together employee records, leave management, reporting, and payroll data in a single integrated HR and payroll software platform.

What you can manage with Jade Star

Built specifically for New Zealand organisations, Jade Star brings together payroll, HR, leave management, reporting, and workforce planning within a single connected platform.

Payroll software (NZ-ready)

Process payroll accurately using rules aligned to New Zealand legislation, including support for payday filing and more complex payroll scenarios. 

Human resource management

Centralise employee information and support workforce planning, remuneration management, and day-to-day HR administration. 

Leave management

Track leave balances, entitlements, and approvals with clearer visibility across your workforce. 

Employee self-service (ESS)

Enable employees to access payslips, update information, and manage routine tasks through employee self-service functionality. 

Reporting and insights

Access workforce and payroll data in real time to support compliance, reporting, and more informed operational decision-making. 

Rostering and workforce planning

Align staffing with operational demand to support more efficient day-to-day workforce management. 

Fusion5 has been there at every step as we’ve grown, changed, and adapted. It’s been a valuable and enduring relationship.

What should I look for in HR and payroll software?
