The name Steve Nathan may or may not be known to you but he is someone who contributed quite a bit to the payroll arena.
Steve and his father, Peter, were the brains behind the successful payroll program called Comacc. They used to be agents for the IMS payroll program but felt they could do something better and different. The first version of Comacc Payroll was a DOS product (who remembers DOS then?) and I first came into contact with them when they had about four customers.
Steve and Peter continued the development into Windows and subsequently added Time & Attendance, Health & Safety and Human Resource modules to the mix.
Steve and his wife Bev eventually bought Peter out and Bev was responsible for setting up their Payroll Bureau and also managing a team of Payroll Temps who could look after your payroll on-site whenever you needed to go on holiday.
They eventually sold Comacc to MYOB in August 2006 and from there Steve & Bev moved onto winemaking.
They purchased a vineyard in the Hawkes Bay which was either named, or they named SALVARE (which in latin means save or rescue), a fitting name for a glass of wine after a hards days work.
Salvare produce a range of wines all of which you can read about on their website – Salvare.
You can also sign up to their newsletter in which you get advance notice of some great wine deals. The newsletter sign-up page is HERE!
Who knows, maybe at some point we will see a wine called UnPaid Chardonay or Pinot Holiday Pay or how about Cabernet Payslip!!!!!!
