Monthly payroll

A Payroll process in the Accountancy or consultancy blueprint: 4 steps, 2 handoffs between 2 systems, and 1 step no system covers. Handoffs are where work waits, and the manual steps are usually where the waiting is longest.

Whose model is this? Ours. This blueprint is OurIdea.ai's own reference map, the same starter template abi. Clone applies for this business type. It describes a typical setup so you have something concrete to react to. It does not describe any company listed in this directory, and no listed company should be assumed to work this way.

The steps, in order

  1. Timesheets received Microsoft 365
  2. Payroll run Xero
  3. Payslips issued Xero
  4. Submission filed manual

A manual step is one no named system covers: it lives in someone's head, inbox or car. That is not automatically a problem, but it is always worth knowing.
