Run payroll-lite
Payroll here is deliberately light: standing pay rules per seat, a month preview computed from real work, and a pay run that accrues the cost to the month it was earned - then settles it on the day the cash actually moves.
Set a pay rule
Section titled “Set a pay rule”-
Click “Set a pay rule” and pick the seat it belongs to.
-
Enter the base salary and fixed allowances, plus the two add-on rates the preview pays out automatically: an amount per completed cleaning and per closed booking. Leave a rate empty if that seat earns no add-on.
-
Tick “third-party paid” if a sister concern pays this person. They stay on the roster and in the preview - greyed, with their own subtotal - but their pay never reaches your P&L.
Per-seat pay is compensation data, so this whole page requires the workspace-settings seat - a treasury reader sees only the posted salaries expense on Expenses, never the rule behind it.
Read the month preview
Section titled “Read the month preview”Pick the pay month and the preview computes each seat’s base, allowances, cleanings completed (with what they earned), bookings closed, and the month total. The Postable tile is what an operator-paid month costs; third-party pay is totalled separately. The preview is a preview - nothing posts from it.
Run the month
Section titled “Run the month”The Pay runs panel is where the money actually happens:
-
Prepare the month. A draft run snapshots gross, tax withheld, deductions, and net per seat.
-
Approve the run. Approval is what recognises the month’s payroll cost - it accrues to the month the work was earned, even if you pay next month. A wrong draft is cancelled with a reason.
-
Pay the run. Pick the account it’s paid from and click Pay now - the settlement posts on the day the cash moved.
