PayZen

Overview

PayZen is a payroll management system designed for Philippine businesses. It implements the actual SSS 2024 contribution schedule (61 salary brackets), PhilHealth 5% premium rate, Pag-IBIG contributions, and BIR TRAIN law withholding tax — not approximations, the real tables and formulas.

Attendance Module

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 define custom attendance fields beyond the standard ones, specifying the name, unit, and whether they affect earnings or deductions. Attendance periods transition from Open to Locked — once linked payroll runs are processed, the period auto-locks to prevent changes.

Payroll Computation

The payroll engine reads attendance data for a period and computes gross pay, all government deductions, withholding tax, and net pay automatically. The SSS computation uses the 2024 monthly schedule with 61 salary brackets (MSC 5,000–35,000), employee share at 4.5% and employer share at 9.5%.

Payslip & BIR 2316

Each employee gets a PDF payslip generated via QuestPDF showing the full breakdown — gross pay, each deduction line, and net pay. BIR 2316 certificates are generated for annual income tax reporting.
