We’re advocates for simplicity. And payroll is anything but simple.
By helping organisations automate their payroll, ensure compliance and gain control, we’re modernising pay and democratising the employee experience. Today Affinity is trusted by some of the most complex businesses across Australasia.
PERFORMANCE
We’re laser-focussed on perfect payroll
We’re not just adding payroll to a suite of HR functions — we only build and support payroll solutions and have done so since 1984.
INNOVATIVE
Over four decades of firsts
In 1987, we were the first to connect electronic timeclocks to a payroll system. We then pioneered the use of online self-service and the deployment of payroll via the cloud. Now we’re building a future where payroll is fully automated, so you don’t have to think about it.
TAILORED
We support all needs
We support all requirements, from organisations needing a flawless payroll platform through to businesses with internal payroll teams that need expert guidance and support or want to outsource everything.
LOCAL
We help navigate complex situations
Developed, delivered and supported in Australia and New Zealand, our platform manages the complex legislative requirements in both regions, backed up with experts who understand the challenges businesses face.
Knowledge is the key to accuracy, efficiency and supporting our customers — applied at the right time, in the right place, for the best results.
Accuracy is essential for customer trust. By delivering timely, correct and compliant information, we ensure employee satisfaction, employer effectiveness and uphold our responsibility to get it right.
We prioritise fulfilling needs over wants because it’s the right thing to do. In every interaction —whether with customers, partners or colleagues — we care that the experience is the best it can be.
We stay agile, ready to shift or change our approach when challenges arise. Collaboration and adaptability make us resilient, fostering continuous learning and growth in every situation.
We take full ownership — embracing accountability, owning outcomes and learning from mistakes. Commitment, integrity and proactivity drive our contribution to the mission and team.
“The best part about working at Affinity?”
“My interactions with customers. It’s incredibly rewarding to become a virtual part of their business. I get to apply my extensive compliance knowledge and generate ideas that not only support my customers but guide my teammates.”
“User-friendly product and best of all, the Affinity team provides fantastic customer service support which is personable, competent and convenient.”
Payroll Operations Lead, George Weston Foods Limited
We’re dedicated and inventive, and care deeply about making payroll effortless.
Career growth and opportunities
“There are quite a few Affinity team members who have worked for the company for 10+ years which says something about us. People here are positive, motivated and make working here fun.”
Which Affinity value resonates most with you?
“Stand on knowledge — I rely on subject matter experts (SMEs) daily, and fortunately there are no shortage of them within the Affinity team.”
Caring and supportive
“After years of working with both large corporations and smaller companies, I’ve found that I’m happiest in a business that keeps people at the heart of everything. I don’t just feel valued as an employee — I feel valued as a person.”
3 reasons you should join Affinity
“You should join us for:
1. A great working environment.
2. The chance to produce something new that either solves problems or exploits opportunities.
3. The people.”
Work and life balance
“Our remote and hybrid work options have been particularly impactful for me; they’ve allowed me to adapt as my personal circumstances changed, while still driving improvements in product.”
What makes your team important?
“As a key part of the go-to-market team, we’re on the front line, engaging directly with clients and understanding the real challenges they face. Our team plays a critical role in bridging client needs with innovative solutions that improve how people are paid.”
How much impact do you have at Affinity?
“A lot! Payroll is such an important function, and every decision we make directly impacts our clients and their employees. We’re actively involved in creating solutions — something that isn’t always possible in an in-house payroll role, where opportunities to drive meaningful change can be limited.”
Why join Affinity?
“There’s a strong culture of trust and respect here — everyone has a voice and good ideas are encouraged, regardless of role or seniority. Plus, payroll is a critical function in any business, and our team takes great pride in ensuring people get paid accurately and on time. That’s a rewarding feeling.”
Which Affinity value resonates most with you?
”I really connect with Affinity’s values because they’re not just about work — they’re about how we should approach life. ‘Courageously adapt’ particularly resonates with me — it’s about being brave, stepping into the unknown and embracing change rather than resisting it.”
