Managing complex payroll scenarios? There’s an easier way.

Automate pay calculations
Build the rules of employment agreements and set up unique details, such as allowances for employees and overtime arrangements to make payroll a fuss-free experience. No more manual calculations.
Work types
Save time on admin. Create work types and map them to pay or leave categories – so that each employee’s specific working conditions are matched to the exact pay conditions under their employment agreement. Simply make the right selection and automate this data straight into timesheet calculations and the pay run.


Rule sets
Automate the interpretation and calculation of hours worked submitted by timesheets. Get full visibility over breaks, allowances, overtime and location-specific conditions. Use the built-in rule tester to ensure pay condition rule sets are accurate before going live.
Pay rate templates
Manage and update pay rate changes for multiple employees at a time. Create pre-defined sets of pay rates and allowance rates under employment agreements, which can then be applied in bulk by a monetary amount or as a percentage to new and existing employees.


Leave allowance templates
Use our standard leave allowance templates (or create your own pre-defined leave accrual values) to manage leave with ease. Bulk update leave values for both new and existing employees to save even more time on employee management. Create your own templates that are unique to your specific pay conditions.
Employee tags
Apply tags to individual employees or groups to assign customised pay conditions without affecting other employees. Identifying employees with unique conditions has never been easier.
