What this does

SeroPayroll is built to be used from the keyboard on a computer, and by touch on a tablet or phone.

The menu

On a computer the left menu lists: Dashboard, Employees, Pay Runs, Payments, Remittances, Time Off, Reports, Year-End and Settings. The company switcher is at the top. The signed-in name and Sign out are at the foot.

  • Choose the arrow at the top of the menu, or press Ctrl+B, to collapse it to icons. The choice is remembered on this device.
  • A tablet shows the icons only.
  • A phone shows a bottom bar with Home, Pay Runs, Employees and More.

Press Ctrl+K from anywhere, or choose the search button. Type to go to a screen, an employee or a pay run. In a company the box says "Search screens, employees and pay runs…".

Shortcuts

  • Ctrl+K. Search.
  • Ctrl+N. New pay run.
  • Ctrl+E. Employees.
  • Ctrl+S. Save the screen.
  • Ctrl+P. Print.
  • Ctrl+B. Collapse or expand the menu.
  • Esc. One step back.

On a Mac, Ctrl+K, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+P and Ctrl+B also work with the Command key.

Lists

  • Every list row has a menu with Edit and Delete.
  • The Delete key works on a focused row.
  • Select, or a long press, picks several rows for bulk actions.

Good to know

  • The grid on the pay run page uses the arrow keys, Tab and Enter, and Esc undoes a cell.
  • Nothing else of the app is reachable until you sign in.
