The problem with payroll software
Most payroll tools are built to process payroll. Almost none are built to explain it.
You press a button, money leaves, and you find out something was wrong when an employee tells you. PayPulse is organised around the six questions an owner actually has before payday.
- 1Who is being paid?
- 2How much will be withdrawn?
- 3What changed since last payroll?
- 4Does anything look wrong?
- 5Is this safe to approve?
- 6If something fails, who is fixing it?
A readiness score you can actually audit
Every payroll run gets a Payroll Confidence Score out of 100. It is not a model and not a vibe — each check owns a fixed share of the points, and every check tells you what it looked at, who is affected, and what to do next.
- 18 of 18 workers included
- 17 of 18 timecards approved
- One direct-deposit verification pending
- Bank balance appears sufficient
How the score is built
- Workers included20/20
- Timecards approved18/20

Paycheck Preview says what changed, and why, in a sentence
Side-by-side with the last cycle, down to the line. No decoding a stub, no guessing whether a number is a mistake or a bonus.

See what payroll does to your bank balance before it happens
Payroll, taxes, and benefit transfers on one line, projected 30 days out against the buffer you want to keep. The point is not to sell you money — it is to make sure you are never surprised by it.
- Payroll debit and tax debit shown separately
- Projected balance after every movement
- A clear warning when the buffer dips, and for how long
- No lending, no advances, no promises about availability
Next 30 days
- Opening balance$58,400.00
- Payroll — Sep 4−$40,706
- Tax deposit — Sep 15−$9,240
- Lowest projected balance$6,594
Your balance sits below your $10,000 buffer for five days between the tax deposit and your next client receipts.
When something breaks, you get a room — not a ticket number
One workspace per incident: what happened, who it affects, whether payday is at risk, what we need from you, and every action taken, in order. No ticket ping-pong, no re-explaining it to a third person.

Your team stops asking you why their check changed
The employee portal opens on a phone and leads with a sentence, not a table. It is written in English and Spanish — properly written, not machine-translated — because the people doing the hourly work should not need a translator to read their own paycheck.
- Plain-language explanation first, official detail second
- A real English and Spanish toggle across the whole portal
- Hours, timecard status, and pay history in one place
- Downloadable demo pay stubs

Built around the way your team works
Industry modes, not a one-size-fits-all form
An in-home care agency and a taqueria both run payroll. They do not run the same payroll. Industry modes change what PayPulse watches for, what it asks, and what it warns you about.
Healthcare & home care
In the demoVisit-based hours across multiple sites, shift differentials, and overtime that creeps in when a caregiver covers a gap.
- Location and visit-based hours
- Shift differentials
- Overtime alerts before approval
- Credential expiry tracking (planned)
Restaurants & tipped teams
PreviewTips, tip pooling, and staff who work two roles at two rates in the same week.
- Reported and declared tips
- Tip pooling preview
- Multiple pay rates per worker
- Shift-based timecards
Construction & field crews
PreviewJob codes, mobile time entry from the site, and crews that move between locations mid-week.
- Job and project codes
- Mobile time entry
- Multiple work locations
- Overtime and per-diem placeholders
The demo runs in Healthcare and home care mode. The other modes are honest previews of planned behaviour, not finished features. See all industry modes

Security and trust
Payroll data is the most sensitive data a small business holds
So we say exactly what is built, what is designed for, and what is not here yet. You will not find a certification badge on this page that we have not earned.
Role-based access
Managers see one location and never see pay rates. Enforced in the data layer, not just the interface.
Masked sensitive fields
Tax identifiers and bank accounts are masked everywhere. The demo contains no real identifiers.
Audit logging
Every approval, correction, and status change is recorded with who did it and when.
Honest about the rest
MFA, encryption at rest, and session timeout are architectural commitments, described as such.
Open the demo and approve a payroll run in about four minutes.
No account, no email, no sales call. Switch between the owner, the payroll admin, a manager, and an employee to see the same payday from four sides.
This is a product demonstration. No real money moves, no real bank accounts are connected, and no real tax filings are made. All figures are seeded sample data.
