2. Information about services and quotes
The website may describe services such as monthly payroll, weekly wage payroll, payslip processing, leave tracking, timesheet capture, new employee setup, termination pay, deduction support, payroll reporting, holiday payroll cover, small team payroll and payroll cleanup. These descriptions are intended to help you understand the nature of the services and are not a binding offer unless confirmed in writing by Affo.
Any quote, scope or turnaround time will depend on the information you provide, the size of your team, the payroll cycle, and any compliance or cleanup work needed. We aim to be clear and practical, but pricing and delivery may change where the facts supplied are incomplete or where payroll records need correction.
- Service details on the website may change without prior notice.
- Figures, timelines and examples are for guidance only unless confirmed in writing.

Clients and prospective clients may contact Affo through the enquiry form on the contact page. Any information you submit must be accurate, current and complete. This includes business details, employee information, wage records, leave records and any payroll instructions you want considered. If information is unclear or late, processing may be delayed and errors may occur.
You remain responsible for checking all payroll outputs, statutory deductions and employee details before they are used or submitted. Affo works with care and transparency, but final responsibility for business decisions, approvals and compliance submissions rests with the client unless a different written mandate has been agreed.
- Keep your company and employee records up to date.
- Check payslips, reports and payroll summaries promptly.
