PayZen
Philippine-Compliant Payroll with SSS 2024, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG & BIR TRAIN
Automated payroll computation with built-in attendance tracking, Philippine government deductions (SSS 2024 schedule, PhilHealth 5%, Pag-IBIG), BIR TRAIN withholding tax, holiday and overtime premiums, payslip PDF generation, and BIR 2316 form output.
The Payroll Challenge
Philippine payroll is uniquely complex — the SSS contribution schedule has 61 salary brackets that change periodically, PhilHealth premiums get updated, Pag-IBIG has its own rules, and BIR TRAIN law withholding tax adds another layer. Holiday pay varies by day type, overtime rates compound with night differential, and every computation error creates compliance risk.
PayZen automates all of it — a payroll engine that implements the actual SSS 2024 schedule, PhilHealth 5% premium rate, Pag-IBIG contributions, and BIR TRAIN withholding tax. Not approximations — the real tables and formulas.
How It Works
Attendance Tracking
PayZen includes a built-in attendance module with period-based tracking. Each attendance period contains per-employee records with 8 standard fields — late minutes, absence days, overtime hours, undertime minutes, regular holiday days, special holiday days, night differential hours, and rest day overtime hours. Organizations can also define custom attendance fields that affect earnings or deductions.
Payroll Computation
The payroll engine reads attendance data for a period and computes everything automatically:
- Base pay adjusted for lates, absences, and undertime
- Overtime premiums based on day type (regular, rest day, holiday)
- Night differential at the correct rate
- Holiday pay at the appropriate tier (regular vs. special non-working)
- SSS using the 2024 monthly contribution schedule (61 brackets, MSC 5,000–35,000)
- PhilHealth at 5% premium rate with min/max share caps
- Pag-IBIG with employee/employer rates and max MSC
- BIR TRAIN law withholding tax computation
Payslip & Tax Forms
Each employee gets a PDF payslip generated via QuestPDF showing gross pay, deduction breakdown, and net pay. At year-end, generate BIR 2316 certificates of compensation payment and tax withheld.
