PAYROLL & EMPLOYEES
Manage employee records, timesheets, leave, pay runs, payslips and payroll accounting in one controlled flow.
HOW IT WORKS IN PLAIN
Payroll errors multiply when employee details, timesheets, leave, calculations, approval and journals are handed between disconnected tools. This workflow is designed for employers that want employee files, approved hours, pay calculations and accounting in one controlled sequence. The aim is not to hide accounting decisions; it is to put the right information, decision and evidence together so an authorised person can move the work forward confidently.
Every stage has a visible status. People can see what is ready, what is waiting and what needs correction instead of relying on a private spreadsheet or an email thread.
Employment, pay rates, tax, bank, leave, retirement contribution, approved time and tracking information flows into the period calculation.
That continuity reduces duplicate entry and also makes correction safer: the team can follow the result back through its posting, approval and source instead of changing an unexplained total.
Sensitive fields are role restricted, privileged actions require stronger authentication, deductions cannot exceed gross pay and finalisation retains an auditable result.
Plain separates drafting from privileged actions. An exception remains reviewable, with a useful explanation, rather than being silently forced through merely to complete a workflow.
Approved ordinary and overtime hours feed a pay run, the reviewer checks a changed net amount, the owner approves it and Plain prepares the payslip and balanced payroll journal.
The live demo uses sample business data and simulated external actions so visitors can test the internal workflow without sending a message, moving money, connecting a bank or lodging with an authority.
CleaningCentral and Aurao may provide authorised employee lifecycle and approved-time context while Plain controls payroll calculation, review and accounting.
Once authorised activity posts to the ledger, the same result is available to account activity, financial statements, budgets, audit history and month-end review according to the user’s role.
Direct government submission is enabled only after the applicable country registration, conformance and customer authority are complete. Until then Plain prepares reviewable records and files without claiming lodgement.
During setup, confirm the workspace country, accounting basis, tax treatment, financial year, account mappings, approval rules and user access. Plain provides the controlled workflow; the customer remains responsible for its business decisions and professional advice.
