The Problem

Monthly payroll processing is a highly sensitive process where errors have immediate financial and legal consequences. Hourly wages, overtime bonuses, sick days, vacation days, special payments, benefits in kind, and deductions must be calculated exactly — for each individual employee.

In many SMBs, timesheets are still kept on paper or in Excel. HR manually enters the data into payroll software or delivers it to the tax advisor. Every change — a new employee, salary adjustment, tax bracket change — requires manual intervention.

The result: payroll runs are error-prone, employees complain about incorrect amounts, and HR is under enormous time pressure at the start of every month.

The Solution

Our payroll workflow automatically collects all payroll-relevant data: work hours from the time tracking system, vacation and sick days from the HR system, bonuses and special payments from the personnel file. Data is validated, calculated, and exported as a ready-to-use dataset for accounting software.

Changes like new hires, salary grade changes, or deduction modifications are automatically synced from the HR system. Before each payroll run, an automatic plausibility check runs: overtime caps, minimum wage compliance, and deviations from the previous month are verified.

Employees can submit their timesheets digitally and view the status of their payslip in real-time. HR only needs to release the completed payroll with a single click.
