How your data is kept
Each company is one encrypted file on your computer. You own the file. You can copy it, back it up or send it to another computer. The optional Cloud add-on keeps the same company in step on several computers. See What leaves your computer, and when.
What is not in the product
- RL-1 XML filing. RL-1 employee copies print now. The XML file is not built.
- An employee self-service portal.
- Direct links to payment providers. You make a file or a cheque and send it through your bank.
- A server for a local network.
- A time clock or attendance kiosk. You enter hours in a grid or import a timesheet file.
Good to know
- You need an account to use the app. See Create an account and confirm your email.
- A 14-day free trial lets you try every screen, but anything you make with it is marked "not for filing".
- The app ships with a tax table for each tax year. You can install newer tables in Settings › Tax tables.
