A completed Sync payroll run, showing gross, deductions and net salary for every employee

Most small teams don’t outgrow their HR process on purpose — it just accumulates. Payroll lives in one spreadsheet, leave requests come in over chat, attendance is a sign-in sheet nobody checks, and loan repayments get tracked in someone’s memory.

It works, until the person holding it together is out sick, or a new hire needs answers nobody has time to give. Sync replaces that pile of ad-hoc processes with one system every team member (and manager) actually uses.

It gets harder still once staff aren't all in one place — a retail chain with people on payroll at five branches, a franchise operator hiring per location, a distributor with staff split across regional offices. Sync ties every employee to the business unit they belong to, so attendance, leave and payroll roll up per branch or company-wide without anyone reassembling it by hand.

What's included

Payroll

Generate a full payroll run in minutes, with tax, loan deductions and allowances calculated automatically — not re-typed by hand every month.

Attendance

Plug in the biometric device already sitting in your office — real hardware integration, not a paper sign-in sheet — or let staff check in from their phone with geolocation. Install Sync straight from the browser and check in with one tap from the home screen — no app store, nothing to approve. One live view of who’s in, on leave, or unaccounted for, across every branch.

Leave

Employees request leave, managers approve it, and balances update themselves — no separate tracker to reconcile at month-end.

Loans & advances

Track staff loans and salary advances against payroll automatically, so repayments never get forgotten in the next run.

Perks

Recurring resource perks — fuel, medical, communication allowances — batch-paid from a bank account each month, instead of a manual reimbursement request every time.

Recruitment

Move candidates through a real pipeline and generate offer letters, instead of a hiring process that lives entirely in email threads.

Employee portal

Every team member sees their own payslips, tax certificate and attendance, applies for leave, and can request a laptop, a supply or anything else — without messaging HR for basic answers.

Appraisals

Run performance reviews on a real cycle, with a record that outlasts whoever’s memory it used to live in.

Resource legal & documents

Offer letters, NDAs, contracts and amendments draft themselves from your own templates, then file against the right person automatically — instead of a blank document and a shared drive.

Attendance reports

A monthly attendance report is generated and emailed to every employee automatically — no one has to compile or chase it by hand.

Business wings

Every employee is tied to the branch or department they belong to, so payroll, attendance and leave roll up per business unit or company-wide without anyone reassembling it by hand.

How it flows

1

Hire and onboard

Add the resource, generate their offer letter from your own template, and their portal login is ready before day one.

2

Track the everyday

Attendance clocks in, leave requests route to the right approver, and balances update themselves — no sign-in sheet, no separate tracker.

3

Run payroll

Tax, loan deductions and allowances calculate automatically. Review the run, approve it, and every payslip lands in the employee's own portal.

4

Review and grow

Appraisals run on a real cycle, and every record — payslip, review, document — outlasts whoever used to remember it.

Built for more than one company

Your books stay yours

The business next door could be on Sync too. That's not something you have to take our word on — separation isn't a setting someone can misconfigure, it's how every query is written. Inside your own organization, segregation of duties works the same way: who can act, who can reverse it, and a logged trail of both.

  • Your data is filtered by organization at the query itself — not hidden in the interface
  • That scope is read from a signed token, so a request can never ask for another org
  • Segregation of duties down to the action: raising an invoice, receiving payment on it, and reversing it can each need a different permission
  • Every reversal or deletion is logged — who did it, when, and what the record said before
  • An automated suite tries to read across organizations on every release
  • Uploaded files are stored under your own organization’s path
Org-scopedEvery query filtered by your organization
Token-derivedScope comes from a signed token, never the request
SegregatedAround 50 permissions decide who can act, reverse, or only look
LoggedEvery reversal or deletion recorded with who, when, before and after
Rate-limitedLogin throttled, passwords hashed
Per-wing grantsAccess scoped to a business unit, not just a person

From the blog

Questions, answered

Do I need an HR person to run this?

No. Sync is built for teams that don’t have a dedicated HR department — a founder, office manager, or finance lead can run the whole thing. Turn on payroll and attendance first, add recruitment or appraisals later, at no extra cost.

How does payroll actually work?

Each employee’s salary, allowances and deductions are set up once. Every month, generate a run, review it, and it’s done — loan repayments and tax are calculated automatically instead of re-entered by hand.

Can employees see their own information?

Yes — every employee gets their own portal login to view payslips and their tax certificate, apply for leave, check their attendance record, and request equipment or supplies — so they’re not messaging a manager for basic answers.

Can Sync help draft offer letters or NDAs?

Yes — offer letters, NDAs and contract amendments draft themselves from your own templates, with candidate and role details filled in automatically, so recruitment isn’t starting from a blank document every time.

What happens when someone leaves the company?

Mark them as a leaver with a reason and date — they’re excluded from future payroll runs automatically, their history is preserved for records, and their portal access is disabled in the same step.

Can I stop one person from both processing payroll and reversing it?

Yes — running a payroll and reversing one that's already been paid are two separate, individually-grantable permissions, so someone can process payroll every month without ever being able to unwind one. Resetting a portal login password is a separate, admin-only permission too, so an HR lead can offboard someone without ever touching login credentials.
