Payroll

Employee records, pay runs, differential pay rules, and configurable deductions.

What it does

Employee profiles with pay details, pay runs per period, pay differential rules (overtime, night and holiday rates), and a configurable deduction rule engine so the same system works regardless of which country's rules you're under. Finalized runs post to the books.

Why it matters

Payroll is usually a business's largest recurring cost, and the one most likely to be run in a separate spreadsheet that never reaches the ledger. Configurable deduction rules mean it isn't hardcoded to one jurisdiction's tax model.

How to use it

  1. Open Employees from the Payroll section and add staff with their pay details.
  2. Set up pay rules for overtime, night, and holiday differentials, and deduction rules for whatever your jurisdiction requires.
  3. Create a pay run for the period, review the computed figures, and add any manual adjustments.
  4. Finalize the run — it posts to the books — and mark it paid.
