Pay · Payroll
Payroll you can review, explain and close with confidence
Prepare, calculate, review, approve, finalise and pay. Variance checks flag surprises before money moves, every payslip carries its calculation, and corrections never overwrite history.
The problem
What this solves
Month-end panic
Payroll depends on one person and a maze of sheets.
Tax surprises
A change mid-year breaks cumulative tax and nobody can explain why.
Payment mismatches
What was calculated and what the bank paid do not match.
Capabilities

In practice
Practical use cases
Mid-year joiners and leavers
Proration and final settlement are handled in the same run engine.

Retroactive payroll recalculates earlier months and shows the arrears.
Finance hand-off
An accounting journal CSV with your GL mapping closes the loop with the books.
Business benefits
Why it matters
Explainable numbers
Each payslip stores its calculation trace.
Controlled changes
A finalised run is corrected by reversal, not by editing.

Batches are reconciled against what was actually paid.
