A controlled payroll desk

Switch employers without mixing their records

The application keeps an employer registry and a separate data and output workspace for each employer. The dashboard then brings employee counts, unposted time entries, pending adjustments and outstanding payslips into view before the active employer’s payroll run begins.

Best fit: South African SMEs or payroll operators who want a local Windows workflow with clearly separated employer data, setup guidance and accessible support.
