What is payroll processing?

Payroll accounting is the management and processing of employee expenses within your company. It includes the payment of employee wages, as well as the registration of employee benefits. Think about pension scheme or profit sharing, for example. Remittances on wages and social contributions to the tax authorities are also part of this.

What does payroll processing cost?

Processing wages, i.e. payroll, is a time-consuming task for HR staff. By (partially) automating it, working hours can be used differently, thus reducing costs.

Is payroll administration difficult?

Payroll administration is a time-consuming task and is also error-prone as it often still requires manual actions. However, as an employer, you can choose to automate your payroll administration. This can be done via a workforce management tool such as Protime. Hourly schedules from the work regulations are managed through that system so there is no longer any need to code absences, ADV, overtime, extra paid work, etc.

Protime helps with payroll management and processing. Our solutions collect all input necessary for payroll (and pay calculation by your payroll provider). Logging hours worked supplies source data.

Payroll processing can follow practically automatically. The timetables from the working regulations are managed so that there is no longer the need to code absences, reduced working hours, overtime, work paid extra, etc.

This level of automation not only reduces manual errors. Protime's seamless integration capabilities mean you can continue working with your preferred payroll provider while enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of the entire process.

Every working hour, absence, and rule-based calculation is properly captured before payroll begins.

Key benefits of this integration include:

Accurate data transfer: No more manual exporting or re-entry. Protime sends structured, validated data directly to payroll.

Custom rules for complex needs: Configure your specific company rules (e.g., overtime thresholds, meal allowances, on-call bonuses) and let the system apply them automatically.

Faster payroll cycles: With all payroll input data already prepared, your payroll provider can process wages faster.

Reduced risk of human error: Automating data collection eliminates the small errors that lead to costly corrections or employee dissatisfaction.

Full visibility: Dashboards and audit trails let HR track hours worked, absences, and cost allocations in real time, ensuring pay reflects work accurately.

Your workforce data flows efficiently into your payroll system.
