PayGrity was built on a simple idea: small businesses deserve payroll software that doesn't make them feel like an afterthought.
In 2018, I left a comfortable position at a larger HR software firm because I was tired of watching small businesses get squeezed by enterprise pricing and enterprise complexity. I've spent 22 years in HR technology, and I knew we could do better.
I founded PayGrity in Kirkland, Washington with one mission: Pay with Integrity.™ That means honest pricing. That means your data is yours. That means you can call us and a real person answers.
We've grown to serve over 200 businesses across the Pacific Northwest, processing millions of dollars in payroll every month. We're proud of every single one of them.
