About Paymaster
Paymaster was started on the 1st of March 1999 when Ian Hurst decided that it was time to leave the corporate life and focus on growing a payroll outsource company that will take responsibility for the clients payroll.
It was my vision to become a part of our clients companies and to operate as if we were the employees of the company employed in the payroll department. This means that we are held accountable for the service and results we deliver.
