Who are we? 🚀

PayFit simplifies payroll management and HR processes for SMBs.

Through PayFit, employees have a dedicated access for their payslips and are able to manage efficiently their leave and expense requests. To build such a solution, we have created our own programming language: JetLang.

We have a strong presence in France since 2015 and have been quickly growing in Germany, Spain and the UK.
