Payroll
What it is
Payroll records track each pay run for an employee — the period it covers, the pay date, gross and net pay, and the employer and employee tax amounts. Each record belongs to one employee, so an employee's full pay history sits on their profile.
When to use it
- You want a record of historic pay runs alongside everything else Hub knows about an employee.
- You want to review pay trends across the company in a single list, with filters and sorting.
- You want a process to act on pay events — for example, send a reminder, post a transaction, or open a review task — when a new pay run is recorded.
Where to find it
There are two places to reach Payroll records:
- Explorer → Payrolls lists every pay run across the platform. Click a row to open a single payroll's detail view.
- An employee's profile in the Company Space has a Payrolls tab that lists just that person's pay runs.
How it works
Pay periods. Each payroll has a pay period (the dates the run covers) and a pay date (the day the employee is paid). The list view shows both so you can sort and filter by either.
Money fields. Gross pay, net pay, employer taxes, and employee taxes are all recorded as money — they show with the right currency and rounding wherever they appear.
Custom fields. Like other Hub records, payrolls support Custom Attributes and derived fields, so you can add the columns your finance team needs without changing Hub.
Automating around pay events. Pay-run creates and updates emit events you can listen to from a process. Pick a Payroll event on the trigger node to react when a new run is recorded or an existing one changes.
API and AI. The same Create / Update / Delete / Query actions are available to agents and to the public API, so you can ingest payroll data from a payroll provider or surface it to an assistant.
