Run payroll in every country you operate in.
Each country gets its own payroll, with its own currency, statutory deductions and tax rules, all calculated for you. Running the month takes one click.
Three currencies, three tax regimes and three sets of statutory deductions, calculated together. Nobody ran three payrolls.
The payroll screen
Everything payroll on one screen, one country at a time.
Payroll runs, the salary register, advances, commissions, holidays, attendance and leave are tabs on one screen, alongside the settings that drive them. Pick a country and every tab switches with you. Open any run to see the payslip it produced for each person.
Because attendance, leave and salaries already live in NearSync, every run starts with the right numbers.
Set up each country's payroll rules once.
Each country keeps its own rules, so a change in one country never affects another.
- Set the currency, working days and cut-off date for each country
- Start from a ready-made country template, or build your own
- Configure gratuity and end-of-service rules
- Add the statutory deductions your local law requires
Income tax handled the way your country does it.
Tax is worked out bracket by bracket, on the portion of income that falls inside each one.
- Choose progressive tax brackets, or no income tax at all
- Apply tax to gross salary or to basic salary
- Enter your own thresholds and rates if no template fits
- Let each run calculate every person's tax automatically
Import a holiday calendar per country and per year.
Add it once and working days, leave and attendance all follow it.
- Import a holiday calendar by country and by year
- Add optional and restricted days for staff to choose from
- Mark dates as estimated until they are officially announced
- Use the same calendar for working days, leave and attendance
Define leave types globally, and override them per country.
Each leave type applies to one group of employees, so create a separate type for each group that needs its own rules.
- Set entitlement, monthly accrual and carry-over per type
- Mark a type paid or unpaid, and allowed or blocked on probation
- Override any global type inside a single country
- Copy a working set-up when you open a new country
Define a salary once, by total or by component.
If you set both, the annual total is the figure that counts - the components just break it down.
- Set an annual total, and break it into components
- If the components fall short of the total, the difference goes to special allowance
- Set each person's pay currency individually
- Add commission and advances without touching the salary
Access
Who can do what.
Payroll permissions are set on the role, using the same four levels as every other module. Bank details, government identifiers and emergency contacts are encrypted, and are decrypted only when somebody with the right permission opens them.
View runs, the register and reports, without changing anything.
Raise an advance, submit an attendance correction.
Define salaries, generate runs, act on approvals.
Move an approved run through to disbursement.
Admin is the highest role and is not limited by these permissions, so give it only to the small group of people who truly need it.
The month, start to finish
One month, and two approvals.
Regularize requests are sent before the cut-off, at the time you set. The run starts on its date and payslips are generated automatically. Two approvals remain: HR, then Finance. Finance can send a run back, and the reason is recorded on the run itself.
Asked everyone to settle their attendance, at the hour HR set.
