Payroll that can't skip a step
Every Kvcare HRMS run moves through the same six stamps. A locked run can be reopened for a correction until salaries go out; once it's paid it's final, and any later correction comes through as arrears.
Six stamps, in order
Scroll to run October's payroll. It can't calculate until attendance is locked, and once it's paid it can't change at all.
- DraftPick the cycle and the sites in scope.
- CalculatedEvery component prorated by payable days, every deduction applied.
- In reviewVariance, negative net pay and compliance checks.
- ApprovedSigned off by finance or the HR head.
- LockedPayslips published, bank and statutory files generated. Can still be reopened for a correction.
- PaidDisbursement recorded. From here the run is final.
Checks before anyone approves
Kvcare HRMS stops the mistakes that usually surface after payday.
Attendance gate
The run won't calculate until every site in scope has finalised and locked its month.
Variance
Month-on-month changes are flagged per employee before review.
Negative net pay
Anyone whose deductions exceed earnings is listed before approval.
Compliance check
Statutory deductions are checked against the rules for the period.
Minimum wage
Pay is checked against the minimum wages you configure.
Joiners and leavers
Mid-month joiners are prorated from their joining date.
The statutory engine
Each rule is stored with the dates it applies from and to. A payroll always uses the rule that was in force for its period, and a new government rate is a dated setting, not a software release.
