A statutory engine, not a spreadsheet
Social security with its cap, employee and employer pension shares, training levies and income tax withheld per period from the right table — never annualised guesswork.ISSS with its cap, AFP employee and employer shares, INSAFORP for employers with ten or more staff, and ISR withheld per period from the right table — never annualised guesswork.
Five frequencies, three special payrolls

Overtime straight from the labor code

Earnings & deductions
- Recurring concepts
- Bonuses, allowances and deductions that repeat every run until you stop them.
- Loans that stop themselves
- Instalment count and outstanding balance on every loan — the deduction ends when it is paid off.
- One-off entries
- A commission this period, a correction that one — without touching the recurring setup.
- Effective-dated rates
- Rates, brackets and concepts edited in the app; each run records the date its rates came from.
Documents & filings
- Payslips that send themselves
- PDF payslips, one per page or four per sheet, emailed employee by employee with a send log.
- Drafts look like drafts
- Only posted runs can be emailed; a draft prints stamped as one.
- Statutory files
- Social security, pension and withholding files generated straight from the run, plus the annual withholding reconciliation.The SSF Planilla Única file (ISSS, AFP, INPEP, IPSFA), the F-14 withholding annex and the F-910 reconciliation, generated straight from the run.
- Payroll register
- The full register as PDF or Excel, on letter or legal paper, ready for the auditor.
Controls
