HR and payroll on rules you configure
HR and payroll software with configurable rules: employee records, attendance, leave, payroll runs and deductions — with the journal entry posted straight to your books.
What the HR app covers
The employee record
Contract, documents, leave and custody in a single file.
A question about a leave balance gets an answer, not a search.
Connected attendance
Attendance and leave reach the payroll run with no re-entry.
No intermediate spreadsheet between attendance and salary.
Key features
One employee record holding the contract, documents and custody
Attendance and leave feeding the payroll run directly
A payroll run on allowance and deduction rules you configure per branch
End-of-service liability calculated and visible at all times
How HR connects to the rest
Attendance and leave reach the payroll run, and the close posts its entries into accounting automatically — however many branches and rule sets are involved.
Attendance
Hours, absences and leave are recorded.
Effect on pay
It reflects on the employee's month-end entitlement.
Payroll run
Calculated per your configured allowance and deduction rules.
Automatic entries
On close, payroll costs post to the general ledger.
And allowance and deduction rules stay configurable for each branch separately.
What the HR app covers
From the employee file and attendance through to the payslip and the journal entry — with allowance and deduction rules you set, in one run each month.
When do you need HR software?
Five signs that spreadsheets no longer fit your team
- 1
A team in more than one country and a single payroll run
Contracts differ by country, and allowances and deductions differ with them. A payroll run that accepts separate rules per location ends the habit of calculating each team apart and then merging them into a file.
- 2
Salaries in several currencies, books in one
When salary is paid in the employee's currency and posted in the books' currency, the entry needs a historical rate rather than today's. Software that stores it makes team cost comparable across months.
- 3
End-of-service liability is unknown until someone resigns
Accrued liability is a number sitting in your books whether or not you calculate it. When it only surfaces at the end of a contract it becomes a cash surprise — the software keeps it calculated and visible at all times.
- 4
Employee data is scattered
A contract in a folder, a leave balance in a sheet, an advance in a chat thread, and a salary in a fourth file. When someone asks for an employee's leave balance, a search begins instead of an answer.
- 5
Nobody knows the true cost of an employee
Salary is not cost: allowances, deductions and accrued entitlements all belong in it. When they are not read together, hiring decisions get made on half the number.
Payroll software or full HR?
The difference is not computing the salary but what feeds it and what comes out of it
| Aspect | Payroll software | HR in Snad |
|---|---|---|
| What it solves | Computing salaries and producing a monthly run | The full employee lifecycle, from hiring to end of service |
| Employee data | Whatever payroll needs: wage, allowances, deductions | A complete record: contract, documents, leave, attendance, advances, custody |
| Multiple branches | One rule set for everyone | Allowance and deduction rules configured per branch |
| Attendance and leave | Entered by hand as a payroll input | Recorded and reflected in the run automatically |
| End of service | Computed when someone resigns | Always computed and visible as an accrued liability |
| Accounting impact | Posted by hand into the accounting software | The close entry reaches the books with nothing carried across |
Computing the salary is the easy part. The hard parts are what feeds it — attendance, leave and advances — and what comes out of it: the accounting entry and the accrued liability.
From a payroll sheet to an employee record
The difference shows at the tenth employee or the second branch, whichever comes first
A spreadsheet
- Wages and allowances in columns
- Attendance carried in from somewhere else
- End of service computed on demand
- The entry copied into accounting
Connected HR
- A record per employee with contract, documents and custody
- Attendance and leave feeding the run directly
- End-of-service liability always computed and visible
- The close entry reaching the books on its own
None of this means the spreadsheet was wrong at the start. It means it stops being enough at a point you can predict — and moving after that is harder, because the data is already inside it.
