Real Human Support
Payroll Software With Phone Support
When payday is on the line, you don't want a chatbot or a ticket queue. Every Lightning Payroll subscription comes with free phone and email support — a real person who knows payroll, on the other end of the line. It's the reason so many businesses stay with us year after year.
8am–4:30pm, Monday to Friday (Qld time). Or email [email protected].
Support that's actually support
- Talk to a real person: a local Australian-based team member who knows payroll answers the phone — no offshore call centre, no bot, no script.
- Free with every plan: phone and email support is included in your subscription and during your free trial. There is no premium support tier and no per-call charge.
- Most questions solved in one call: our team aims to resolve your enquiry while you're on the phone, so you can get back to running payroll.
- Email answered fast: email enquiries to [email protected] are usually answered within 1–2 business days.
- People who stick around: you talk to the same experienced team, so you're not re-explaining your setup every time.
Why phone support matters in payroll
Payroll has hard deadlines and real consequences — underpaid staff, late super, an STP lodgement that won't go through the afternoon before payday. When that happens you need an answer now, not a place in a queue. Time and again, customers tell us the reason they choose and stay with Lightning Payroll isn't a feature — it's being able to pick up the phone and reach a real person who helps.
