Payroll guides
Triostack Payroll calculates pay runs using attendance and employee data already stored in HRMS. This guide covers configuring your first pay cycle, deduction rules, and running payroll end to end.
1. Confirm HRMS is set up first
Payroll reads employee compensation, attendance, and leave data directly from HRMS — there's no separate employee list to maintain. Complete the HRMS guide before configuring Payroll if you haven't already.
2. Configure pay cycles
Set your pay frequency and cycle dates under Payroll → Settings → Pay cycles. Multiple cycles are supported if different employee groups (e.g. hourly vs. salaried) are paid on different schedules.
3. Set up deduction and compliance rules
Statutory deductions and tax rules (Payroll → Settings → Compliance) can be configured per region or entity, so a multi-country company runs each location's payroll under the correct rules from one workspace.
4. Run a pay cycle
Starting a pay run pre-fills every employee's pay based on attendance and leave already recorded in HRMS. Review the summary, resolve any flagged discrepancies (like unapproved leave), and approve — payslips generate automatically once the run is finalized.
5. Reconcile with Finance
Once a pay run is approved, its total cost posts automatically to Triostack Finance as an expense, so payroll cost appears in financial reports without a manual export.
