Unresolved exceptions become deductions
Every out-of-zone check-in or missing mark left open is a query waiting to happen. Closed within the week they are administrative; closed on payroll day they are a conversation about someone’s pay.

Payroll Starts With a Register You Can Trust
Face-verified hours, approved leave, and overtime — exported cleanly into your payroll each month. And when you want payroll itself inside the platform, the Full HRMS plan adds the complete engine: components, gratuity, and WPS file generation.

The month-end problem is rarely payroll — it's the data feeding it
Most school payroll disputes trace back to the same source: an attendance register nobody fully trusts. Hours reconstructed from a punch machine, leave approved on WhatsApp, overtime nobody recorded. CampusTrack fixes the feed: every hour is face-verified and geofenced, every leave day carries its approval trail, and month-end exports arrive in the shape your payroll system or bank WPS gateway expects. Schools that want to go further move to the Full HRMS plan — a complete payroll engine with salary components, GPSSA and gratuity calculation, and WPS / SIF bank file generation.
Illustrative interface — verified hours, leave, and overtime in payroll-ready exports.
Verified hours, not reconstructed ones
Every hour in the export is backed by a face-verified, geofenced check-in with a full audit trail — the register finance can defend.
Clean month-end exports
Hours, overtime, leave, and absences export in formats your payroll system or bank WPS gateway accepts — on schedule, without spreadsheet surgery.
Leave and overtime pre-approved
Only approved leave and recorded overtime reach the export — the approval chains upstream keep month-end disputes out of payroll.
Full payroll engine (Full HRMS plan)
Salary components, templates, and pay profiles; GPSSA and gratuity (Article 51) calculation; WPS / SIF bank file generation; GL journal patterns for ERPNext, Zoho Books, and Tally.
End-of-service done right
Offboarding workflows calculate end-of-service on the actual verified record — service dates, leave balances, and final settlements in one place.
Seven-year audit trail (Full HRMS)
Extended audit retention and a DPO toolkit on the Full HRMS plan — the paper trail regulators and auditors expect from an employer of record.
What makes a payroll run go wrong
Payroll problems are almost never payroll problems. They are attendance and leave problems that went unresolved and arrived at the end of the month.
The cut-off and the month disagree
A payroll period rarely matches the calendar month exactly, and the days at the boundary are where hours get counted twice or not at all. Aligning periods explicitly removes an entire category of error.
Unpaid leave has to be unambiguous
Whether a specific absence was paid, unpaid or authorised determines the deduction. Categorised at the point of approval, it is settled; reconstructed at month end, it is contested.
Mid-month joiners and leavers are pro-rata
Someone starting on the 12th or leaving on the 20th needs their period calculated from actual days. This is where manual payroll most reliably produces the wrong number.
Overtime needs a rule, not a judgement
Hours beyond contract have to be identified consistently rather than decided per person per month, or the same situation gets treated differently twice and both people find out.
Export is not the finish line
The point of payroll readiness is that the export needs no manual correction. If a file always needs a spreadsheet pass before it can be used, the upstream data is the actual problem.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does CampusTrack process payroll itself?
On Starter and Growth, CampusTrack prepares payroll-ready data — verified hours, leave, and overtime — that exports into your existing payroll system. The Full HRMS plan adds the complete payroll engine: salary components, GPSSA and gratuity calculation, and WPS / SIF bank file generation.
What is a WPS / SIF file?
The Wage Protection System file format UAE banks require for salary transfers. On the Full HRMS plan CampusTrack generates the SIF file directly from the verified attendance and salary data.
Can it feed our accounting system?
Yes. The Full HRMS plan includes GL journal patterns for ERPNext, Zoho Books, and Tally, plus a parallel pay-run validation mode so you can verify results against your existing payroll before switching.
How does gratuity calculation work?
End-of-service gratuity is calculated per UAE Labour Law (Article 51) from the actual service record in the platform — start dates, unpaid leave, and final settlement components included. Full HRMS plan.
