The Payslip Bottleneck

In most schools without a proper system, generating payslips means pulling the attendance register, entering data into Excel, calculating deductions manually, printing, signing, and distributing. For 50 staff this is a full day's work every month.

The Pre-requisite: Clean Salary Structures

Payslips can only be generated quickly if salary structures are set up in advance. Every staff member needs a linked salary structure with basic pay, allowances, and deduction rules.

Automated Attendance Integration

When attendance is already marked digitally, payslip generation is a button click. The system reads attendance, applies deduction rules, and calculates net pay automatically.

Batch Generation

Generate all payslips for the month in one action. Review as a batch before finalising. Look for outliers before approving.

Digital Distribution

Email or WhatsApp payslips as PDFs. No printing, no distribution queues, no complaints about not receiving a payslip.

Advance Recovery

Salary advances should be tracked and recovered automatically, oldest first. Manual advance tracking in a separate spreadsheet is a recipe for errors.
