PayrollHero Reminder: February 9 & 10 is a Special (Non Working) Holiday in the Philippines!

Posted on by

Friday, February 9 and Saturday, February 10 is a Special (Non-Working) Holiday in the Philippines. This is to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Source: Proclamation No. 453 & 368

Since the days are holidays, plan ahead and remember:

  • PayrollHero only adds mandatory holidays at the start of the year, any declared holidays within the year, needs to be added by Account owners or HR admins. Here’s our Support article on How to Add Events in the Shared Calendar.

  • If you have staff that don’t work on this holiday, make sure to remove their schedules. If they have recurring schedule, you can click on “Remove Schedule“.

  • If you have staff that regularly do work on holidays, working on this day, remember to use the option “work this holiday” on the scheduling page to ensure that they can clock in seamlessly this day.

Oh! And don’t forget… PayrollHero remains operational 🙂

If you have any questions, please contact us at support, we will be happy to assist!

How PayrollHero Started

Posted on by

Wondering how PayrollHero started? It was way waaaay back in 2009 really 😉
Mike and Steve have been business partners since 2000, for 24 years!

r/payrollhero - How PayrollHero Started

Stephen Jagger (left) and Mike Stephenson (right)

Mike is half Filipino, his mother moved to Canada and met Mike’s dad who was originally from the UK.

Steve and Mike ran a company called Outsourcing Things Done and need something to pay and track their staff. They couldn’t find anything in the Philippines so they decided to create their own with the help of Filipino accountants and developers hired within their small BPO company in 2009.

They showed it to a friend who really wanted to use it for themselves and thus PayrollHero was founded!

Here’s a quick video from Steve on the history behind PayrollHero ~

  1. Omakase Japanese restaurant
  2. Sensei Sushi restaurant
  3. Yellowcab pizza

Some hole in the wall authentic street food from all cultures especially Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

What is your favourite Philippine restaurant brand that should expand overseas?

Italian. I’m in love with pizza.

For whatever reason, some days would require a little extra comfort – what is your favourite comfort food?

New Feature on the PayrollHero App!

We have a new feature on the PayrollHero app!

Our Devs (developers) are constantly working towards improving functionality of the app. To that end, we have a new feature to enhance a human resource manager’s tools. It’s a simple addition to the app that allows the HR manager or payroll administrator to:

  1. check the GPS coordinates of employees who are clocking in.
  2. record which device they are clocking in from

The feature sits in the Employees tab and under the Rollcall Days section. You can see the list of days that the employee has clocked in, their IP address, GPS coordinates linking to Google maps and the device that they used: TeamClock or #MyClock. If there are any issues with clocking in with a particular device, the HR admin can point out what specific device the problem arose from. This information can also be used as Business Intelligence to make decision on staffing and installing the best devices in your outlets.

The feature is already live for all PayrollHero users!

As you know, we have been creating some handy guides for opening restaurants in Singapore and the Philippines. We call them the PayrollHero Knowledge Kits.

Since we’re so excited about them and want to share them with the world, we’re hosting our first ever Twitter contest! From now until July 17th (Hari Raya Puasa), all you need to do, is retweet the link below to as many people as you can on your network.

If you can reach out to the most number of restaurants, businesses or people, we will feature you on our own blog! 

Why is this a good idea for you? Well, we have been featuring famous actors and basketball players on our blog: celebrities like Rocco Nacino, Shawn Weinstein and Sean Anthony have shared their favorite restaurants with us. How awesome would it be to get in on the action! You know you’re thinking to yourself, “this would be a great PR opportunity…”

Make sure you’re following @PayrollHero so you’re in the loop because in the coming weeks, we will be coming up with some great opportunities like this for you.

So what are you waiting for? Get tweeting! Your 15 minutes of PayrollHero fame awaits.

Below, you can see an example of a Twitter post that retweets the Knowledge Kits:

How do I open a restaurant in the Philippines? Presenting the PayrollHero Knowledge Kit!

The PayrollHero blog aims to be the knowledge repository for any restaurant owner or retailer in Southeast Asia. We have built our database with things you need to know while doing business in the Philippines.

With that in mind, we have been working on a little project. Presenting the PayrollHero Knowledge Kit for opening a restaurant in the Philippines!

screen shot

Download it now – free! 
This starter kit was put together to give you high level information about the Philippines, share some thoughts from restaurant owners, and present relevant statistics from our market research.

The information here includes research that will help you open a restaurant in the Philippines or expand into the country.

  • We talk about what BIR, SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG are all about.The pages are linked to relevant tax forms and websites that offer more detailed information if you want it.
  • There is an industry overview and analysis on the latest consumption trends in the country. For example, did you know that the Home delivery and takeaway sector grew at a staggering 10.3%. It’s closest competitor was the fast food industry at 8.1%.

But we don’t want to give you simple hard facts that you could just Google anyway. The Knowledge Kit has a wealth of information in the form of personal stories and experiences in these countries. We interviewed the owner of the Advent Manila Hospitality Group, Mr. Andrew Masigan, and asked him about how he runs his business in this part of the world. We see it as a way to help the community because there is no better way to learn than from people who have gone through the same roadblocks as your are facing right now.

We hope this information is useful to you. We would love to hear back from you with what you think about the Knowledge Kit, how we can make things better and how you use this Kit for your own research into the restaurant industry.

Lastly, we are releasing more of these for the retail and BPO industry. Watch out for more information about these industries and countries.

So go ahead and click on the image above to access the Knowledge Kit. Let us know what you think. And good luck with your new business!
