Full-Cycle Payroll Management, Built Into Your School ERP
From salary component setup to bulk payment approval — manage every stage of your school's payroll without leaving the platform.
Is Payroll Eating Up Your Admin Team's Month?
Running payroll manually in spreadsheets is error-prone, time-consuming, and disconnected from your HR and expense data.
Manual Calculations
Spreadsheet-based payroll leads to errors, missed components, and painful audit trails.
Untracked Advances
Salary advances recorded on paper are forgotten or double-counted at payslip time.
No Approval Workflow
Without a formal process, payroll is approved informally — creating compliance and audit risks.
Structured Payroll That Runs Itself
Define salary components once, run payroll each month with a click, and follow a formal approval cycle — fully integrated with your HR and expense modules.
Configure
Define salary components and assign recurring items to each staff member.
Generate
Create a payroll run for the month and generate all payslips automatically.
Approve
Authorised admins review and approve the run before payment.
Close
Mark the run as paid and close it — creating a locked audit record.
