Payroll with every number accounted for.

Salary structures, statutory deductions and approvals live on the same people records as attendance and leave, so nothing is re-entered at month end.

  • Statutory deductions for India: PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS

The monthly run

  • Five steps: lock inputs, calculate every payslip, review with changes over 10% highlighted, director approval, mark paid and lock
  • Loss of pay from absences and late marks calculated automatically, with the reason shown on each payslip
  • Approved payroll flows straight into accounts, and a bank advice file is generated for payment

  • Client invoices with the correct GST split, and payments received recorded with proof
  • Month close, and a monthly profit and loss view that includes payroll
