Payroll
The clock records the hours and the till credits each sale to the person who made it. On pay day Phoros turns both into payslips, with NIS, NHT, Education Tax and PAYE worked out by the statutory rules. You check each one, email it as a PDF and pay through your own bank.
How payroll moves
Three steps, and none of them is a spreadsheet you rebuild every month.
Staff clock in and out on a phone with their own code, and the location is captured at both ends. The timetable shows who is in, who is late and who has not arrived.
On the cycle's pay day everyone on it gets a payslip: hours or salary, overtime and commission, then the statutory deductions in order and any loan or charge dated in the period.
Each payslip is emailed as a PDF, the payroll report exports every payslip and deduction, and your general ledger can read the payslips directly.
The clock and the timetable
Staff clock in and out on a phone, and the timetable colours every shift as the morning goes, so you see who is missing before the customers do.
Staff clock in and out on the time keeper page with their own code, and the location is captured when they clock in and when they clock out.
Each branch carries a pin and a clock-in radius drawn as a circle on the map, 150 metres unless you change it.
The timetable colours each shift: on time within ten minutes of the start, late after that, and not in once the start has passed with no clock-in.
Hours past the weekly, fortnightly or monthly limit you set are paid at the overtime rate on the payslip.
Send each person their own timetable from the same screen the shifts are planned on.
Leave is recorded with its type, its dates, whether it is paid, its approval and the colleague covering it.
A clock-in whose location is less accurate than 1,000 metres is refused. Any other clock-in is measured against the branch radius when the branch has a pin, and one from outside the radius is accepted and saved with its distance from the branch.
Statutory deductions
PAYE, NIS, NHT, Education Tax and HEART come as ready-made withholdings. Choose one and its rates, thresholds and limits come with it.
PAYE, NIS, NHT, Education Tax and HEART are ready to use. A withholding started from one of them takes its rates and limits, and follows the platform when they change.
Withholdings apply by priority, so NIS comes off before PAYE and Education Tax are worked out, and the employer's contributions are counted separately.
The PAYE threshold is kept as a dated series: J$1,700,088 a year from April 2024, J$1,799,376 from April 2025 and J$1,902,360 from April 2026.
Federal income tax, Alabama, Social Security, Medicare, Additional Medicare, FUTA and Alabama unemployment, derived from the IRS and Alabama tables the same way.
Add a fixed or percentage withholding of your own, before or after tax, from the employee, the employer or both, with bands, minimums and yearly limits.
A withholding with a negative rate, an inverted range or overlapping bands is refused when it is saved, not discovered on a payslip.
Phoros keeps the payslips and the payroll report your returns are prepared from. It does not file returns with Tax Administration Jamaica or the IRS.
Your web presence, with the team on it
Three finished sites for places that run on shifts: a restaurant, a guesthouse and a clinic. Start from one, and the cards, flyers and social content follow to match.
Every site is a complete page, and the same desk makes the business cards, flyers and social content to match. See brand development and management
Pay day
A cycle generates one payslip for everyone on it when its pay day arrives. Virtual staff check the run and tell you what needs a look before anything goes out.
Weekly, every two weeks or monthly, with pay day by weekday or by date, and the people on it.
Phoros generates one payslip for each person on the cycle when the pay day comes, skips anyone who already has one, and Run now does it early.
Adjust a payslip if something changed, email each one as a PDF from your own address, then pay from your bank.
After the run
Each employee record holds the bank, branch, account number, routing number and account type. Phoros prepares the payslips and the payroll report, and the transfer goes out from your bank.
Every payslip in a date range by employee and by month, with a column for each deduction and contribution, ready to export.
A general ledger code can take its figures from all payslips, so payroll reaches the books without retyping.
See accountingPaid on the sales credited to each person, at their own rate or at a product's own rate, by the same rule the commission report uses.
A loan or a one-off charge dated in the period comes off that payslip, named, beside the statutory deductions.
Hourly staff are paid from the clock, daily staff by the days worked, and salaried staff at their salary, with allowances, bonuses and reimbursements as their own lines.
A payslip, a cycle or a charge can be restricted to the people you name.
Phoros does not move money. It prepares the payroll, and your bank makes every payment.
Payroll
Hours from the clock, commission from the till, statutory deductions by the rules, and a PDF payslip for everyone on the cycle.
Questions
Something else on your mind? Our team will talk it through with you.
No. Phoros prepares the payslips and the payroll report and keeps each person's bank details on their record. The payments go out from your bank.
For Jamaica, PAYE, NIS, NHT, Education Tax and HEART are ready-made withholdings. For the United States, federal income tax, Alabama, Social Security, Medicare, Additional Medicare, FUTA and Alabama unemployment. You can add your own.
On the sales credited to the person, at their own rate, or at a product's own rate where it has one. The payslip and the commission report use the same rule, so they agree.
The location is captured at both ends, and a clock-in whose location is less accurate than 1,000 metres is refused. When the branch has a pin, each clock-in is measured against its radius, and one from outside the radius is accepted and saved with its distance from the branch rather than refused.
Weekly, every two weeks or monthly, with pay day by weekday or by date. Run now generates a cycle's payslips early.

Yes. Virtual staff can chase missing clock-outs, check the run before pay day and prepare the payslip emails. Your team decides what is paid.
