Audit Trail
Immutable adjustment log on every Time_Log record
A multi-location, multi-role payroll engine purpose-built for gyms. Bridges scheduled events to actual labour cost with an audit-ready ledger and an AI-queryable interface.
Gym payroll is uniquely brutal. Multi-role staff. Casuals stacking shifts across locations. Contractor PTs invoiced separately. Weekend penalties. Public holiday loadings. Class attendance bonuses. PT revenue splits. Cancellation payouts. And every fortnight, someone sits down with a spreadsheet to make it all add up.
LIFTR replaces that spreadsheet with a definitive Theoretical vs. Actual payroll engine — audit-first, jurisdiction-aware, timezone-safe, and queryable from the same AI interface that runs your gym.

UTC storage, IANA-aware penalty rate evaluation
Per-location rates, geofences, and pay periods
The payroll engine is organised around six functional modules, each closing a specific gap between what was scheduled and what actually got paid.
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.
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.
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.
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 Records can never be deleted — only superseded.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.
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.
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 purpose-built surfaces share one ledger. Staff own their time; managers own the approval workflow and the lock.
Five static reports cover everything from the fortnightly Xero export to the compliance-grade audit ledger. Contractor and employee streams are routed separately.
