Nobody types a muster roll into a payroll sheet, and nobody types the payroll sheet into the books. Each step reads what the one before it wrote.
One is the employee. One is a run you read before you commit it — payroll should never post itself. The other six the system does.
Attendance is the number payroll is built on, so it is captured where the work happens rather than reconstructed at month end.
GPS, a geofence around the work location and a selfie — each one a policy setting you switch on or leave off, so an office team and a factory floor are not forced into the same rules.
Against the shift the employee is actually rostered to, with the grace period the policy allows. The same arithmetic every day, for everyone.
Assign a shift, roster a team, and a shift that runs past midnight still belongs to the day it started on.
The employee raises a regularisation with a reason, the approver sees it in their inbox, and the day is corrected with a record of who corrected it.
Government holidays, weekly offs and your own leave types with their own balances and accrual — not a fixed list you have to work around.
Who approves leave for whom, and what happens when they are away. The route is configured once instead of being remembered by whoever is in the office.
Three separate acts, deliberately. Drafting is not committing, and committing is not paying — because a payroll that posts itself is one nobody checked.
Salary components, attendance and approved leave for the period, worked out for every employee. Read it, change what is wrong, generate it again.
Now the wage bill is a cost your accounts know about, and what you owe your staff sits on the balance sheet as a payable.
From the bank or the cash account you choose. The payable clears, and the payslips become visible to the staff who earned them.
That is the whole difference between HR software and an ERP: the wage bill is already in your profit and loss, and nobody carried it there.
Most of what HR gets asked all day is something the employee could have looked up. So they can.
Their attendance, their leave balance, their payslips. Every self-service screen is scoped to the record attached to that login — not a permission you have to remember to set.
Included with HR at no extra cost. Clock in, request leave, read a payslip — the office does not have to print anything.
The questions that fill an HR inbox — how many days do I have left, where is my payslip, was my leave approved — are answered before they are asked.
Clearance items, final settlement and the last payslip, with the settlement posting to the ledger the same way a payroll run does.
Free while you are small, and the employee mobile app is included with HR at no extra cost.
