Payroll Management

Hourly Billing

  • Define staff hourly rates:
    • Set pay rate in any currency
    • Set billable rate to client in any currency
  • Enable multiple developers per task
  • Track time with second-level accuracy
  • Prevent time overlap errors automatically

Every second logged transforms directly into both staff payroll and client invoices — keeping your operation transparent, accurate, and efficient.


note currency for staff can be different than currency type for client

Task-Based Billing

  • Set fixed hour budgets per task
  • Assign tasks to individual developers
  • Payment is only issued after managerial approval

This billing model ensures tasks stay within budget, with full control over progress and approvals. The dashboard tracks completion, time usage, and flags anything needing review — so nothing slips through the cracks.

When new to-do items are added, they instantly reappear on the staff dashboard — keeping your team focused, accountable, and always aware of what needs attention.
