Payroll errors cost small businesses thousands every year.

Manual payroll β€” copying hours from timesheets into spreadsheets, calculating overtime by hand, guessing at deductions β€” leads to overpayments, underpayments, and corrections that eat your Friday. When timesheets flow directly into payroll records with automatic calculations, errors drop to near zero.

Frequently asked questions

Does Staffapp.ai process payroll and direct deposit?+

Staffapp generates payroll records from approved timesheets β€” gross pay, deductions, and net pay are calculated automatically. It does not currently handle direct deposit or tax filing. You can export records to your payroll processor or accountant.

Does it support both hourly and salaried employees?+

Yes. Each employee has a compensation record with either an hourly rate or monthly salary. The system calculates gross pay accordingly using approved timesheet hours for hourly workers and the salary amount for salaried employees.

How are deductions handled?+

Managers enter deductions per pay period. The system calculates net pay automatically (gross minus deductions) and enforces that deductions cannot exceed gross pay at the database level.

Is there an audit trail for payroll?+

Yes. Every payroll record is linked to the specific compensation record and timesheet period used to calculate it. The creator, timestamps, and status (draft, processed, paid) are all tracked.
