Payroll

WORKloom calculates gross payroll from contract terms and approved time entries. It can also include approved expenses in the payroll period. Taxes, statutory contributions, deductions, and net pay remain with your accounting or payroll provider.

Payroll is permission-controlled. If the section is not visible, ask a workspace owner for the appropriate payroll permission.

How payroll works

1. A payroll manager chooses a date range and calculates a draft.
2. WORKloom evaluates eligible contracts and approved hourly time entries.
3. The manager reviews each person's earnings and included expenses.
4. Any data issues are resolved before the run is locked.
5. A locked run becomes the stable payroll record and makes payslips available.

A draft can be recalculated while contracts, time entries, or expenses are still being corrected. Lock only after the figures have been reviewed.

What is included

Depending on the person's contract, a run may contain fixed-period earnings or approved hourly work. WORKloom flags missing payroll jurisdictions and hourly entries outside an active contract so they can be corrected before locking.

Approved, unpaid expenses in the selected period may also be included. They remain distinct from gross earnings in the run and exports.
