Workflow visibility

Review approvals before payroll is finalized.

See what needs review before payroll runs, including payroll changes, contractor items, and pending time-off requests. PayrollVU helps managers and payroll admins stay aligned so issues are caught earlier and processing stays on track.

Timesheet, contractor, and payroll review in one flow

Cleaner handoff between managers and payroll admins

Less scrambling near processing day

Better visibility into pending time off

Scheduling, vacation, and time off

Connect schedules, vacation planning, and payroll.

When schedules change or vacation is requested, payroll gets more complex. PayrollVU helps teams stay aligned with the hours, shifts, absences, and work patterns that drive each pay run.

Built for part-time, shift, rotating, and contractor-supported teams

Better alignment between schedule changes, vacation requests, and payroll review

A strong fit for restaurants, dental offices, studios, gyms, and service businesses

Employee experience

Use mobile to prove self-service, not just promise it.

Give employees one place to access pay details, payroll history, vacation planning, time-off requests, and important documents without relying on manual follow-up.

Why this matters

Fewer requests. Better planning. Less back-and-forth.

When employees can see pay details, payroll history, vacation balances, time-off requests, and outstanding actions in one place, teams spend less time answering routine questions and more time getting payroll done.
