At a glance
Crew payroll is AI-driven payroll software for small and medium-sized businesses. It calculates pay from your salary structures and synced attendance, applies statutory deductions such as social security and pension contributions, generates payslips, and produces bank transfer files and audit-ready records. You run a cycle from the dashboard or by asking Crew AI, and you approve every run before transfers go out.

Feature
With Crew AI, you can configure base pay, allowances, and deductions per employee or per role. Our software supports complex structures, such as basic + housing + medical + utility, and more role-specific allowances. Set it up once, and every payroll run applies it automatically.
Built for SMBs
Crew calculates and tracks social security and pension contributions automatically based on each employee's profile and the latest contribution rates. The deductions show on every payslip and on audit-ready records you can export for compliance reviews.
See Crew payroll in a live demoRegular hours flow into payroll automatically from biometric devices like ZKTeco and Hikvision, mobile clock-ins, and manual timesheets, all feeding the same payroll engine. You won't need any end-of-month reconciliation.
Approve a payroll run and Crew generates the bank transfer file in your bank's required format. Most major banks are supported; for others, our system exports a standard file you can upload to your bank's portal.
Every payroll run produces a complete record: who was paid what, when, and with which deductions and approvals. These records are exportable as PDF or Excel and timestamped for audit purposes.
Every employee in your company gets a clear, professional payslip the moment payroll runs: downloadable as a PDF, available in the self-service portal, and emailed automatically. Every payslip itemizes earnings, statutory deductions, and net pay.
Time to value
With Crew AI, you can run payroll in about 30 minutes, from start to finish. This includes reviewing hours, applying any one-off adjustments, approving the run, and even triggering bank transfers. Compare that to manual or Excel-based payroll, which often takes a full day per cycle for a team of 20 to 50 employees.
The first run takes longer, often 60 to 90 minutes, as that's when you set up salary structures, approval workflows, and bank details. Every run after that initial phase uses the rules you set the first time.
Common pitfalls
Manual payroll mistakes hurt twice: once when your employee is underpaid, and again when you have to fix it. Here are the four most common errors our payroll software handles.
Manual overtime math is where most payroll errors happen. Once you configure the rules, our payroll software applies them every cycle, calculating overtime correctly across different rates, weekend rules, and shift differentials.
Forgetting a social security deduction for a new hire, or missing an adjustment when a salary changes, can create compliance gaps. Crew AI applies statutory rules automatically based on each employee's profile.
When auditors or your accountant ask to verify a payroll run from six months ago, Excel-based payroll often can't produce the record. Crew keeps complete, timestamped records of every run.
Late payslips create disputes that can take hours to resolve. With Crew, you generate and deliver payslips the moment payroll runs, so every employee gets the same thing at the same time.
SMB-first
Most payroll software treats the small-business case as a configuration option. Crew treats it as the default.
How it works
Crew pulls hours from biometric devices, mobile attendance, and timesheets the moment a pay period closes. No imports, no copying between systems.

“Payroll used to take at least one full day per month. We’re able to run payroll bi-weekly now, which takes us less than an hour each month.”
