One month of payroll, start to finish

Every month follows the same four steps, and every step is recorded.

  1. Close time and leave

    Clock-ins from phones, the office or a fingerprint machine, and approved leave, flow into the month.

  2. Run payroll

    Overtime, absences, allowances, loan and advance repayments are counted, and tax and pension are worked out for each person.

  3. Check and approve

    A reviewer looks over the totals and approves the run before anyone is paid.

  4. Pay and report

    Download the bank letter and the income tax and pension files. Staff see their payslips in the portal and on Telegram.
