HR & Payroll

Unified HR and payroll in one module. Employee records support multi-position assignments with a primary position flag and org chart hierarchy (reportsTo). Pay grades define salary bands (min/mid/max) with hourly equivalents. Leave types are configurable with accrual rates, max accumulation, and carryover limits — FMLA is capped at 480 hours per rolling 12-month window. Timesheets go through draft → submitted → approved → processed with department-scoped approval (supervisors can only approve their own department). Payroll runs calculate gross-to-net: salary or (regular hours × rate + OT hours × 1.5× rate), then apply pre-tax deductions (retirement, insurance), federal/state/local tax, and post-tax deductions. On posting, the system creates a compound GL journal entry debiting salary expense per department and crediting tax payable, insurance payable, retirement payable, and net payroll payable.
