Pay runs on your cutoff, not a generic one
Semi-monthly on the 15th and end of month, weekly for site crews, or monthly for office staff — several schedules can run in the same company. A period locks once posted, so a correction becomes a documented adjustment on the next run instead of a silent edit to a closed payroll.
SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG from configurable tables
Employee and employer shares compute from bracket tables held as settings you can open and check line by line. When an agency issues a new schedule we update the table and re-run — no rebuild, no waiting for a software release. Your accountant should still verify the first live run against a manual computation.
Withholding tax on compensation
Tax computes from the BIR compensation table configured for your pay frequency, with taxable and non-taxable items separated properly — de minimis benefits, the 13th month and bonus threshold, and mandatory contributions deducted before tax. Year-end summaries give your accountant the per-employee detail behind the annual filings.
Overtime, night differential and holiday premiums
Regular overtime, rest day work, night differential hours, and the different rates for regular holidays and special non-working days, each computed from the approved hours rather than typed in. The premium rules are configured to your company policy where policy is more generous than the minimum.
Loans, deductions and cash advances
SSS and Pag-IBIG salary loans, company cash advances, uniform and equipment deductions, and canteen or coop charges, each with a running balance and an end date. A loan stops deducting when it is paid, which is the error manual payroll repeats most.
13th month pay and final pay
13th month computes from actual basic pay earned during the year, with a preview run so you can budget for it in October rather than discovering it in December. Final pay pulls the last worked days, unused leave conversion, outstanding loan balances and clearance deductions into one computation.
Payslips, registers and disbursement files
Payslips reach employees by email or self-service with every earning and deduction itemised. Your accountant gets the payroll register, contribution schedules and journal summary; your bank gets a payroll credit file in the format your bank asks for.
