Automation

Keep data in sync, automatically

Payroll accuracy starts with accurate data. Leapsome automatically pulls updates from employee records, absences, and time tracking into payroll so nothing slips through the cracks. If someone changes role, gets a raise, or takes leave, those details flow straight into payroll calculations without HR needing to re-enter data. This cuts out duplication, reduces human error, and ensures payroll always reflects the latest reality.

Flexible policies

Configure rules & policies

Every company has unique payroll structures, from local tax rules to custom benefits and allowances. Leapsome makes it easy to adapt payroll calculations to your specific context, ensuring payouts always reflect both company policies and country requirements. This flexibility helps HR stay compliant across different jurisdictions while avoiding rigid, one-size-fits-all systems.
