How It Works

Payroll day, in three simple steps

Set it up once, and every cutoff after that takes minutes — not days.

1
Set up once

Add your employees, shifts, and government IDs — import in bulk or enter them once. The system remembers everything for every future run.

2
Run payroll in minutes

The engine applies the exact DOLE, OT, holiday, and night-differential rates for you. Compute, review, approve, and post — in just a few clicks.

3
File with confidence

Payslips, BIR forms, and SSS / PhilHealth / Pag-IBIG reports generate straight from the payroll you actually posted — so the numbers always match, and filing is error-free.
