A configurable payroll engine for a security services company
A security services company with a large distributed workforce calculated pay manually against a complex set of salary rules, risking errors at scale. We built a custom payroll engine that applies the company's configurable salary and allowance rules automatically, replacing error-prone manual calculation across the whole workforce.

ENGINE
Salary rules varied by employee profile, and every calculation was done by hand.
- Salary and allowance calculations depended on multiple employee profile attributes, applied manually
- High risk of calculation errors at workforce scale
- Time-consuming manual payroll preparation every cycle
- Lack of proper payroll tracking and reporting
One system, built around how the work actually happens.
Employee profile management
Employee records carry the attributes that drive their specific salary and allowance rules, kept current as staff join, move or leave.
An automated salary calculation engine
Salaries calculate automatically from each employee's profile and the company's configurable rule set, removing manual computation entirely.
Dynamic allowance and deduction rules
Allowance and deduction rules are configurable rather than hardcoded, so a rule change doesn't require a code change.
Monthly payroll generation and reporting
Monthly payroll runs generate structured reports and summaries, with role-based access controlling who can view or run them.
