Payroll in Portal is driven by rules written in PXL, a small typed formula language made for pay calculations: integers, decimals, dates, lookups and loops with a fixed budget, so a run is deterministic and auditable line by line. For the rare case a formula is not enough, sandboxed scripts can be attached.

Country packs provide the levies, tax tables and statutory items for a jurisdiction. Runs can cover several months at once, produce payslips through the report designer, create disbursements and post to the ledger.

FAQ

Common questions about Payroll

Can we see how a figure was calculated?

Every result line keeps the rule, inputs and intermediate values that produced it, so an auditor can follow the calculation without re-running it.

Do we need a developer to change a rule?

No. Rules are PXL formulas edited in the browser with validation and a test runner. Scripts exist for edge cases and are restricted to users with the script authoring role.
