Payroll & Workforce Workflow

Separate labor and staff payroll flows connecting attendance, timesheets, leave, overtime, salary rules, project costing, accounting, reports, and UAE WPS/SIF output.

My role
Payroll process analysis, engine development, calculation controls, reporting, issue resolution, and production support.

Business need

Payroll depended on several changing sources and rules. Missing or inconsistent attendance, work entries, leave, overtime, allocation, and salary inputs could interrupt every monthly run or produce an incorrect result.

How it works

  1. 01

    Prepare source data

    Collect approved contracts, attendance, work entries, timesheets, leave, overtime, allowances, deductions, and adjustments.

  2. 02

    Validate the payroll period

    Identify missing links, overlaps, incomplete attendance, invalid work entries, and source-data exceptions before calculation.

  3. 03

    Calculate payslips

    Apply the correct labor or staff structure, salary rules, worked days, inputs, additions, and deductions.

  4. 04

    Allocate project cost

    Distribute payroll cost across projects, cost centres, departments, branches, and operating units where required.

  5. 05

    Post and export

    Prepare accounting entries, payroll reports, payslip documents, and UAE WPS/SIF payment output.

  6. 06

    Verify and close

    Review totals and exceptions with payroll users before closing the monthly payroll run.

What I built

  • I developed separate labor and staff payroll engines for different workforce rules and source data.
  • I connected attendance, timesheets, leave, overtime, allowances, deductions, advances, fines, adjustments, and contract rules with payslip calculation.
  • I implemented project and cost-centre allocation, analytic lines, operating-unit accounting, and payroll journal processing.
  • I delivered payroll summaries, Excel outputs, payslip documents, UAE WPS/SIF files, and batch scheduling tools.
  • I built targeted fixes for recurring worked-day, work-entry, scheduling, calculation, and cross-module payroll failures.

What I supported

  • I traced failed payroll runs through source attendance, work entries, leave, timesheets, salary rules, scheduled jobs, and module dependencies.
  • I corrected calculation and data problems, then verified results with payroll users before the monthly run continued.
  • I supported batch processing, payslip reporting, cost allocation, accounting entries, and WPS/SIF exceptions.
  • I stabilised the recurring payroll process with validation checks and controlled production fixes.
