The pay run is the easy part. Answering for it isn't.
The same five people, the same 1st of the month. On the left every question is an errand for one person. On the right nobody had to ask, because the answer was already on the line.
The 1st, without it
5 unreadNobody is being difficult. They can see a number and nothing else, so the only way to find out is to ask the one person who can go and look it up.
The 1st, here
nothing to answerSame pay run, same figures. Every line already carries what it was for, so the questions were answered before anyone needed to ask them.
Nobody minds a smaller month. They mind not being able to see why — and you mind being the only person who can tell them.
A number that arrives with its reasons attached
Nobody minds a smaller month. People mind not being able to see why it was smaller.
Every line on the payslip carries what it was for and where it came from.
A record that survives an audit, filterable by period, readable without ringing you.
What the team costs, month over month, without anyone opening a spreadsheet.
Nothing here was typed by hand
Every number is something measured times something agreed.
No line on a payslip is a figure anybody decided on. It's a count of what happened, multiplied by a rate that was settled in advance — and both halves already exist in here. Which is why the total can be taken apart.
- Measured
- Hours, overtime, deals closed. Recorded at the time it happened, not remembered afterwards.
- Agreed
- A rate, a multiplier, a percentage. Set in advance and on the record, so it isn't a conversation later.
Multiply the two and you get a line nobody has to defend. TeamCastle works out and records what's owed — your bank still moves the money.
Your payroll provider moves the money. This explains it
TeamCastle isn't trying to replace the bank transfer — it works out and records what each person is owed, and shows the working behind it.
One pay run, across four tools (the messy way)
Three exports reconciled by hand, and a number with nothing behind it.
7 steps · 3 tools · 6 hand-offs
- Exporting the hours
- Digging commission out of a thread
- Reconciling three files by hand
- Re-keying it into the provider
- Explaining the number from memory
What gets lost along the way?
The same thing on one surface
3 steps · 1 tool · 0 hand-offs
One run · every line traced · an answer to “why is it lower?”
Nobody minds a smaller month. People mind not being able to see why it was smaller.
How people get paid
Pay types
Hourly, salary or commission
Set the pay type per person — and run commission alongside a base if that's the deal.
Pay days
Your own pay days
Monthly, weekly or daily, on the dates of the month you actually pay.
Overtime
Overtime rates
Turn it on per person with its own rate, so long weeks aren't argued about after the fact.
Commission
Commission with a reason
Every commission payment carries a note saying what it was for.
History
Full payment history
Regular pay and commission, filterable by period, ready for your accountant.
Source
Traced back to hours
The tracked time feeds the number, so “why is it lower this month?” has an answer.
Four ways a team gets paid
The clock does the arithmetic
Hours tracked during the month are the hours the pay run reads. No one rebuilds the total.
- Hourly rate set per person
- Optional overtime at its own rate
- Pay traced back to the timesheet behind it
