Support is terrible

Support is terrible, no surprise they don't invite reviews.
It's April 2026, they've 'released' their HeroClear function for Superannuation payment but I get empty screens when trying to set it up. They insist it should be working and imply I'm just doing it wrong.
I then send screenshots and their answer is: "please clear your cache and browser history". That did allow me to proceed one more step but then their app did not recognise my NAB bank setting. Again a support ticket to be raised via their useless ZenDesk bot. It is useless because it provides incorrect answers and leads you down the wrong road.
It's obvious that their HeroClear product has not been properly tested and is not market ready.
This has cost me so much time.

I have had a very similar experience to…

I have had a very similar experience to the other reviewer. There are issues that can never be explained, or removed, so you live with them popping up on your screen all the time with Keypay saying there's nothing they can do. My current issue is there doesn't seem to be a way to give access to your accountant without creating them as an employee. If you send in a query, it will be non-answered with an automatic response that rarely seems to make sense or address the issue at hand. Such a shame as it had good potential, but now that we've introduced it into two businesses, we are trying to find a suitable way to extricate ourselves with minimal disruption.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear you feel there are things that can’t be explained. Would you mind sharing a few examples with us? Also that your support queries are not answered. We pride ourselves on our response times and our support statistics show us that we have the quickest response times in the market with 60% of tickets being solved in 30 minutes.If you can share some examples where you didn’t receive a response from our team or where the response did not fully answer your question, this would be much appreciated.
Also, you mention you can only add your accountant as an employee - this is not the case. If you wish to give your accountant full access, or access to specific reports only, you can do this from the Manage Users page. Enter his or her email address and their name and choose either Full Access or Restricted Access. You do not need to add your accountant as an employee. An employee can only ever be granted Employee Self Service access with no capability in the system to give an employee access to payroll data.
If you would like to chat further or if you need assistance with utilising KeyPay to its full capability, please get in touch via support@yourpayroll.com.au and let the team know you’d like to speak to Georgie.

Thank you, Phil.

Regards,
KeyPay

Avoid Them If You Want To Avoid Constant Headaches

I've been using this payroll software for several years on a daily basis and it has a couple of good features like uploading employee data and timesheets, but overall it's extremely poor. Frequent bugs that aren't investigated properly, no explanations, and rarely to customer support understand the issue, let alone provide an explanation or solution. Even now, I have the ATO telling me an issue is a software issue and KeyPay are telling me it isn't, so I'm stuck in the middle with no way to resolve the issue. The way they set up things is haphazard and often requires the same change made in multiple places in order to work. Avoid them if you want to avoid the constant headache.
