No. DRIVE Touch is a completely separate service, available to any business in New Zealand that needs payroll management or digital timesheets — regardless of whether you use Drive Recruitment for staffing.
Full access to everything — digital timesheets, payroll processing, worker portal logins, and compliance management. We set it up with your real data so you can see exactly how it works before committing. No credit card required.
Our payroll team processes every pay run on your behalf. Workers submit timesheets, you approve them, and we calculate wages, PAYE, KiwiSaver and ACC, file with IRD, and send payslips. You get one simple invoice from us.
Weekly, fortnightly, and monthly. We work to your existing schedule — no need to change when or how you pay your workers.

No minimum. Whether you have one worker or fifty, DRIVE Touch works for you. Pricing scales with your workforce — the smaller your team, the lower the cost.
Yes, any time. No lock-in contracts, no cancellation fees. If DRIVE Touch isn't right for your business, you can walk away with no obligation.
