HERAPayroll System for Businesses in the USA
Many HR software tools look affordable until you add the extras. Payroll is one price, scheduling is another, and equipment tracking is a third. Then you learn you need a full-time admin or a paid consultant just to set it up. For a US business of any size, that adds up fast. HERA keeps it simple. It handles payroll, taxes, overtime, and direct deposit. Our dedicated HR support team helps you set up, answers questions, and gives technical help when you need it. Rostering and asset management come at no extra cost.
What is a payroll system?
A payroll system works out gross pay, takes out taxes and other deductions, and shows each person their net pay. HERA does this using the rules you set up for your business. It handles hourly and salaried staff, overtime, bonuses, and pre-tax and after-tax deductions. It also keeps your pay history and prepares reports for your accountant.
HERA is customized, so your pay periods, approval steps, and deduction types match the way you really pay people.
What HERA can handle for US payroll
- Hourly and salaried pay
- Overtime based on your policy
- Federal, state, and local tax withholding set up with your rules
- Social Security and Medicare (FICA) deductions
- Pre-tax and after-tax deductions, such as health plans and retirement
- Weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly pay periods
- Direct deposit files and payslips
- Year-end summaries for your accountant
Tax rates and rules change, and they differ by state. HERA lets you update them. HERA prepares the figures and reports, and your team or accountant files returns and year-end forms.
Who is this payroll system for?
HERA is built for businesses of every size, from small teams to large enterprises. It is a good fit if you:
- Want payroll and HR without paying for every extra
- Have remote employees living in several states
- Are a US company with a team overseas, such as in the Philippines
- Do not have a full-time payroll specialist
- Want real help during setup, not just a manual

Frequently asked questions
What should I look for in a payroll system for a US business of any size?
Look for clear pay calculations, support for your pay periods, tax and deduction setup by state, and simple reports for your accountant. It should also connect time tracking to payroll so nobody retypes hours.
Does HERA handle state and local taxes?
You set up the tax rules that apply to your business and employees, and HERA applies them in each pay run. Rates differ by state and change over time, so we help you keep them current.
Can HERA pay employees by direct deposit?
HERA can prepare a direct deposit file in the format your bank accepts, so you upload one file instead of typing each payment.
Does HERA file my payroll taxes?
HERA prepares the figures and reports. Your team or accountant files returns and year-end forms. Tell us how you file today and we will explain how HERA fits.
How much does the payroll system cost?
Early access pricing is US$7 per user per month. Every module is included, with no add-on charges. Contact us and we will prepare a quote based on the modules you need and your company size.
Can I also manage a team overseas?
Yes. HERA works as a multi-country HR system, so a US company can manage staff in the Philippines, Australia, or Singapore in the same place.
How is HERA different from other HR software?
Many HR tools charge extra for each module and need an admin or consultant to run them. HERA comes with dedicated HR support that sets it up with you and answers questions. Rostering and asset management are included at no additional cost.
Do I need extra staff to run HERA?
No. Our dedicated HR support team helps you set up, answers questions, and gives technical help, so you do not need to hire someone just for the system.
