SimplePaie: accurate payroll and compliant documents every month for private schools
Aisobotics product · Windows software or online subscription (SaaS) · Private schools
The problem
In a private school, salaries are agreed as net amounts. Working back to the right gross, applying contributions and income tax, accounting for absences and leave: by hand or in a spreadsheet, every month end is a source of errors, complaints and worry before an inspection.
What we built
Payroll software designed for private schools, on Windows or online. The management enters the agreed net salary: SimplePaie works out the gross, contributions and income tax, applies absences, leave, overtime and bonuses, flags errors before closing, then produces the payslips, the payroll ledger and the paid-leave register.
