Income tax and social contributions are calculated per employee in every run.

A payment file from every run and an accountant export for any period, each in the layout your bank or accountant asks for.

Capabilities

What payroll does.

Set pay items once; every run does the arithmetic and the paperwork.

Gross-to-net calculation

Income tax and social contributions are applied per employee from the country pack. You see gross, deductions and net side by side.

Pay runs per period

Create a run for the period, review each employee, and publish when the numbers are right.

Payslips

Every employee gets a payslip for every run, with each pay item listed. Word it in your own language, and each person reads dates and amounts in their own format.

Payment and accountant exports

Save the layout your bank or accountant wants once: columns, separator, decimal mark and date format, as CSV or Excel. Then download the payment file from each run, and an accountant export with every pay line for any period or tax year.

Tax packs for 24+ countries

Each pay schedule runs on one country's pack, with its own currency and tax year, so a team in several countries gets a schedule per country. No pack for yours? Start from a blank schedule and add your own pay items.

Time and leave feed in

Approved timesheets and approved leave for the period are pulled into the run automatically.

How it flows

From pay items to published payslips.

The path a pay run takes through HourSquare, in four steps.

  1. Set pay items per employee

    Record salary and any recurring allowances or deductions once; they carry into every run.

  2. Create a pay run for the period

    Approved timesheets and leave from that period are pulled in.

  3. Review gross-to-net

    Check each employee's breakdown. Income tax and contributions are already applied from the country pack.

  4. Publish payslips and export

    Employees get their payslips; you download the payment file for your bank.

An employee’s September payslip in HourSquare: earnings, deductions, gross, net pay and employer cost (demo data).
A payslip in HourSquare — earnings, each deduction, and the net pay the employee takes home.

Works with

Payroll is where the other modules land.

Contracts from onboarding, approved leave and approved hours all arrive in the pay run.

FAQ

Questions about payroll

See all questions
Does it calculate income tax and social contributions?
Yes. Each employee's country pack applies income tax and social contributions in every pay run, so you see gross, deductions and net per employee.
Which export files can I download?
Two, each in a layout you save once: CSV or Excel, with your columns, separator, decimal mark and date format. A payment file from each approved run, for your bank or accountant. And an accountant export with one row per payslip and every pay line, for any date range or tax year, for your accountant to file from.
Can I run payroll for employees in more than one country?
Yes, with a pay schedule for each country. Each schedule has its own tax pack, currency and tax year; 24+ countries have a pack today. Anywhere else, start from a blank schedule and add your own pay items.
Do I have to type in hours and leave?
No. Approved timesheets and approved leave for the period are pulled into the run automatically.
