Implementation

From signup to your first compliant payroll

A clear, guided path to go live — set up your companies, bring over your data, run payroll side by side with your current system, and switch only when the numbers match.

The path to go-live

Five steps, no surprises

Every implementation follows the same proven sequence, sized to your company.

  1. Step 1

    Plan

    We map how your company runs today — entities, sites, pay groups, cutoffs, and approval chains.

    • Company structure agreed
    • Pay calendar and cutoffs confirmed
    • Data checklist shared
  2. Step 2

    Configure

    Set up legal entities, sites, departments, schedules, leave policies, and approvers.

    • Entities with TIN & employer numbers
    • Sites with wage region & holidays
    • Leave and approval policies
  3. Step 3

    Migrate

    Bring in employees, government IDs, and opening balances from your current system or spreadsheets.

    • Employee master file loaded
    • YTD, leave & loan balances
    • Validation report cleared
  4. Step 4

    Parallel run

    Run payroll side by side with your current system and compare results line by line.

    • Variance report per employee
    • Differences explained and resolved
    • Sign-off from payroll & finance
  5. Step 5

    Go live

    Release your first payslips, switch on self-service for employees, and hand over to support.

    • First payroll released
    • Employees invited to self-service
    • Ongoing support in place

Guided setup

Know you're ready before the first cutoff

Setup checks flag what's missing — before it becomes a wrong payslip or a rejected remittance.

  • Create your account in minutes — Register your company and invite your HR and payroll team by email.
  • Company structure — Add legal entities, sites, and departments with their government registration details.
  • Guided setup wizard — Step-by-step setup with sites auto-assigned to their wage region and holiday calendar.
  • Implementation checklist — Progress tracking and readiness checks before your first payroll.
  • Sandbox company — A copy of your setup for testing changes without touching live data.
  • AI setup assistant (optional) — Upload your handbook or payroll register and get a proposed configuration for review.

Illustration with sample data

Start from a template

Pre-configured for your industry

Begin with schedules, leave policies, attendance rules, and earning and deduction codes that fit how your industry works — then adjust to your own policies.

Industry policy templates

BPO 24/7

Rotating night shifts, ND, attendance points, and training waves.

Retail

Store-based schedules, daily-paid staff, and regional minimum wages.

Manufacturing

Shift work, OSH requirements, and production-floor kiosks.

Office / KPO

Fixed schedules, hybrid work, and project timesheets.

Staffing agency

Client assignments, per-client rules, and deployment tracking.

Data migration

Bring everything with you — even mid-year

Import from your current payroll system or spreadsheets using validated templates. Every file gets a dry run and a row-by-row error report before anything is saved.

Employee master data

Personal, employment, and compensation details for every employee.

Government IDs

TIN, SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG numbers, validated against official formats.

Year-to-date balances

Taxable income, tax withheld, contributions, and 13th month & other benefits so far this year.

Previous employer 2316

For mid-year hires, so year-end annualization comes out right.

Leave balances

Opening balances for every leave type, per employee.

Loan balances

SSS, Pag-IBIG, and company loans with remaining amortization.

Historical payroll

Past payroll registers for reporting and 2316 continuity.

Bank details

Payroll bank accounts, including split allocations.

Parallel run

Switch only when the numbers match

Run payroll in both systems for one or more cutoffs. A variance report compares every employee and every component, and each difference is explained — so your team signs off with confidence.

Parallel-run variance report

Checked before your first payroll

Before go-live, the statutory rules your payroll depends on are verified against the latest official issuances, with the source recorded for each one.

  • SSS contribution schedule, MSC range, and MPF threshold
  • PhilHealth premium rate, floor, and ceiling
  • Pag-IBIG rates and maximum fund salary
  • BIR withholding tables and the ₱90,000 benefits threshold
  • Regional minimum wages for every region you operate in
  • This year's holiday proclamations and your sites' local holidays
  • Bank file formats for your payroll banks

Partners & payroll bureaus

Accounting firms, implementation partners, and payroll outsourcing providers can manage many client companies from a single console, with delegated access for each client.

FAQ

Implementation questions

How long does implementation take?

It depends on your headcount, number of companies and sites, and how clean your current data is. A single company with a few sites can set up without any technical help; larger groups usually include a parallel run before go-live. We agree a timeline with you during planning.

Can we keep our current payroll system while we switch?

Yes — that's what the parallel run is for. You run payroll in both systems for one or more cutoffs, compare the results line by line, and switch over only once the numbers match and your team has signed off.

What data do we need to prepare?

Your company and site details with government registration numbers, your employee list with government IDs and pay rates, and opening balances for the year: YTD pay, tax, and contributions, leave balances, and outstanding loans. We share a checklist and import templates at the start.

We start mid-year. Will year-end tax still be correct?

Yes. Year-to-date figures and previous-employer 2316 data are loaded as opening balances, so annualization in December includes everything earned before you switched.

Do we need an IT team?

No. Setup is done through the product itself, and your HR and payroll team can run it day to day.

Can we take our data with us if we leave?

Your data is yours. A full export of your company data is available for portability.
