THE PAYROLL PROBLEM

STOP RECONCILING SPREADSHEETS.

Multi-role staff, cross-location casuals, penalties, loadings, contractor PTs — and every fortnight someone rebuilds a spreadsheet. LIFTR replaces it with a definitive Theoretical vs. Actual payroll engine — audit-first, timezone-safe, and AI-queryable.

// CORE MODULES

SIX MODULES. ZERO GAPS.

The payroll engine is organised around six functional modules, each closing a specific gap between what was scheduled and what actually got paid.

01

Unreconciled Queue

Wildcard clock-ins without a matching scheduled event are auto-flagged RED and surfaced in the Manager Dashboard. Assign retroactively, create an ad-hoc entry, or escalate — every resolution is reason-coded.

02

Holiday + Penalty Rate Engine

Configurable multipliers for public holidays, weekends, evenings, and early mornings. Rules evaluated in priority order against the location's local timezone — no code changes to add a new rule.

03

Multi-Role Work Type Clock-In

One staff member, multiple pay rates. Admin, class, PT, floor, maintenance, and sales rates resolved per shift. Work type is mandatory before GPS validation runs — no ambiguous time entries.

04

Immutable Audit Trail

Every adjustment is appended to an immutable JSONB log with a mandatory reason code. Records can never be deleted — only superseded. Full ledger export is suitable for external compliance audit.

05

Break + Meal Deduction

Mandatory unpaid breaks auto-deducted at calculation time based on shift duration. Manager-only waivers are flagged on the Audit Ledger. Staff cannot self-waive — eliminating a major payroll compliance liability.

06

Reimbursement Module

Receipt-backed expense recovery separated from payroll gross. Categorised, manager-approved, and exported as a distinct line item to your accounting system. No more reimbursements buried in gross pay.

// TWO INTERFACES

STAFF + MANAGERS.

Two purpose-built surfaces share one ledger. Staff own their time; managers own the approval workflow and the lock.
