Description
The Payroll addon adds to WP ERP a complete payroll module, with an overview dashboard that gathers total expenses, approved calendars, payment history, and operational insights. The extension structures items (fixed allowances, deductions, and tax data), configures weekly, biweekly, or monthly calendars by department, and executes automatic pay runs on preset dates, meeting the needs of those who require payroll processing directly within WordPress.
