Payroll errors cost small businesses thousands every year.

Manual payroll prep — copying hours from timesheets into spreadsheets, calculating overtime by hand, re-typing numbers into your payroll provider — leads to overpayments, underpayments, and corrections that eat your Friday. When timesheets flow directly into gross-pay records with automatic calculations, errors drop to near zero.

How payroll works in Staffapp.ai

Automatic Gross Pay

Gross pay calculated from approved timesheet hours and the employee’s compensation record.

  • Hourly rate × approved hours for hourly employees
  • Monthly salary amount for salaried employees
  • Compensation history preserved with effective dates
  • Multiple pay frequencies: weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, monthly

Export to Your Payroll Provider

Gross-pay records export in one click to Gusto, ADP, QuickBooks, or custom CSV — your provider handles deductions, taxes, and net pay.

  • One-click export to Gusto, ADP, QuickBooks, or custom CSV

Frequently asked questions

Does Staffapp.ai process payroll and direct deposit?+

No. Staffapp generates gross-pay records from approved timesheets — hours, overtime, and gross pay. It does not handle direct deposit, tax filing, deductions, or net pay. You export records to your payroll provider (Gusto, ADP, QuickBooks, or your accountant) who handles processing.

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?+

Deductions (taxes, benefits, garnishments, insurance) are calculated by your payroll provider — not by Staffapp. We prepare gross pay; your provider turns it into net pay.

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.
