Payroll gets complicated before payroll software ever sees it.
Most payroll tools assume the hard part is cutting the check. For operators with booking-driven pay, commissions, pools, hourly staff, tips, adjustments, and exceptions, the hard part is everything before that.
Hours live somewhere else
Tips and pools need rules
Adjustments happen manually
Final payouts are hard to explain
Every dollar has a path.
PayCanvas models payroll as a schema graph, not a flat spreadsheet.
Trace any number back to the rule that created it.
Ask why a payout happened, and PayCanvas shows the exact path behind it.
