What it does.

Four things Payroll handles to improve your workflows.

01

One payroll run for every employee type

Set pay rates, deductions, and tax withholding. Run payroll weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Hourly, salaried, seasonal, and part-time employees all run in one batch.

02

Time tracking and absence management

Track time by job, project, or department. Log absences, sick time, and PTO. Approve timesheets at the supervisor level before payroll runs.

03

Direct deposit and tax filing

Employees receive direct deposit on payday. Tax forms, W2s, 1099s, and municipal taxes all generate and file automatically. No year-end scramble.

04

Multi-fund and cost-center allocation

Allocate labor costs by fund, department, or project. Post payroll as individual GL entries or in summary. Audit trails document who did what and when.

How it helps.

What communities gain when the manual work goes away.

Labor cost post to GL when payroll runs, not when Finance gets around to it
Payroll posts automatically to the GL on payday. Fund and cost-center allocations are documented. No manual adjustments after the fact.
Tax filing errors
0
Taxes calculate and file from the same data that generated paychecks
When W2s and 1099s generate from the payroll run, you don't reconcile afterward. The numbers match automatically.
Payroll processing time
-60%
A two-day process becomes a half-day process
No timesheet collection, no calculation, no reconciliation. One button. Payroll runs.
