Payroll Process

Payroll Full Cycle Workflow

From attendance data to locked payroll and GL export — a complete, controlled workflow designed for accuracy and compliance.

1. Payroll Draft

Create initial payroll draft from attendance and time data

System automatically generates payroll draft based on attendance records, shift schedules, overtime approvals, and leave data. Payroll managers can review and adjust before proceeding to validation.

2. Data Validation

Validate attendance data, exceptions, and input completeness

Automated validation checks identify missing punches, unapproved overtime, incomplete leave records, and data inconsistencies. System flags exceptions for review and resolution before calculation.

3. Reconciliation

Reconcile attendance hours with approved overtime and shift schedules

System reconciles actual attendance hours with planned schedules, approved overtime requests, and shift allowances. Discrepancies are highlighted for supervisor review and authorization.

4. Calculation

Automated calculation of gross pay, deductions, and net pay

System calculates gross pay based on regular hours, overtime (with configurable rates), shift allowances, and leave entitlements. Deductions and statutory contributions are computed according to configured rules.

5. Review & Approval

Multi-level review and approval workflow with role-based access

Payroll goes through configured approval workflow. Supervisors, HR managers, and finance can review calculations, make adjustments, and approve payroll. All actions are logged with user ID and timestamp.

6. Lock & Audit

Lock payroll to prevent changes and maintain audit trail

Once approved, payroll can be locked to prevent unauthorized changes. Locked payroll maintains complete audit trail. Any modifications require authorized reversal process with proper documentation.

7. GL Export to SAP / Finance

Export payroll journals in SAP-ready format for finance integration

System exports GL journal entries in SAP-compatible format (CSV/Excel) with cost center mapping and GL code structure. Finance team can review exported data before importing into SAP Financial Accounting module.
