Payroll that starts from CTC instead of a fresh sheet

The annual number should drive the month

Teams still open a sheet, type the CTC, and split it into basic, HRA, and allowances by hand. The same percentages are typed again next month. A mistake in one cell becomes a wrong payslip.

If the CTC and the rules are stored once, the month is a result. Basic as a share of CTC, HRA as a share of basic, fixed allowances, and a deduction such as professional tax can all be calculated from that setup.

People operations are part of the same company

Salary sits next to attendance, leave, and the branch a person belongs to. When those records are separate, payroll month starts with exports. When they are together, the employee already exists before anyone calculates pay.

Recordrr keeps HR and payroll with the rest of the business: branches, employees, shifts, leave, CTC, and payslips. Adding a person should not mean adding a new workbook.

A payslip is the end of a workflow, not a one-off file

The useful path is short. Enter the CTC. Check the components. Apply the deductions. Read the net salary for the month. Then generate the payslip from those figures, so the document matches the calculation.

That is how payroll scales past the founder doing it on a Sunday. The rules stay. The headcount can change. Each month starts from the CTC already on the employee, not from a blank sheet.
