How the process works.

Run payroll in 15 minutes
A guided payroll workflow takes you through the cycle: readiness check, timesheet generation, approval, calculation, approval, finalization and disbursement, with progress shown at every step. Basic pay, overtime, night differential, holiday pay, statutory contributions and net pay are calculated for each employee.

Pay and prepare reports
Bank files are created and payslips are released. SSS R-5, PhilHealth RF-1, Pag-IBIG MCRF and BIR Form 1601-C are exported ready for eFPS, EPRS and WISP upload. Your authorized filer handles submission, and WORKSPHR never stores your portal credentials.
Advanced payroll, designed for how Filipino teams operate.
Different team schedules. Backdated salary updates. Graveyard shifts. WORKSPHR treats these everyday situations as standard payroll needs, not exceptions.
Separate pay cycles for different teams.
Office staff on a monthly cycle and factory crew on a weekly one can sit in the same organization without either being handled outside the system. Each pay group holds its own cutoff dates, payment dates and premium rules, so adding a second cycle is a configuration change rather than a second payroll process to run.
One workspace that guides the entire payroll cycle.
Payroll usually goes wrong at the handover, when someone picks up a half-finished run and cannot tell what has already been done. The processing screen holds the sequence in a fixed order and shows progress at every stage, so the state of the run is visible to anyone who opens it.
Regional wage orders applied from their effective date.
A wage order issued in one region and backdated to a date that has already passed is the hardest kind of change to apply by hand, because it moves contributions and withholding as well as basic pay. Set the effective date and the affected cycles are recalculated together, with the difference posted to the next run.

Late deductions, grace periods, rounding, daily caps and whether unworked special holidays are credited into basic pay are all decided at organization level. Once they are set, every run applies them the same way, which removes the case-by-case judgement that makes two payslips in the same team look inconsistent.
Every plan includes automatic SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and BIR calculations. No extra statutory add-on fees. Pricing is in pesos.
How does WORKSPHR calculate SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG?
Every cycle, WORKSPHR automatically calculates employee and employer contributions using the current 2026 brackets for SSS, PhilHealth (5% rate, ₱100K ceiling) and Pag-IBIG. R-5, RF-1 and MCRF are generated in filing-ready formats. Learn more →Does WORKSPHR submit contributions and taxes for us?
No. WORKSPHR calculates each amount and generates every return in the required agency format, ready to upload to eFPS, EPRS or WISP. Your authorized filer remains responsible for submission, so WORKSPHR never holds your portal credentials.Does WORKSPHR support BIR TRAIN Law?
Yes. WORKSPHR maintains the current BIR TRAIN Law brackets. Withholding tax on compensation is calculated automatically each payroll, and Form 1601-C is exported ready for eFPS upload. Learn more →Does WORKSPHR handle 13th month pay?
Yes. 13th month pay is automatically calculated for every employee, with pro-rata treatment for resigned and mid-year employees, and a DOLE-compliant report is created from the same data. Learn more →How does WORKSPHR calculate night differential?
A 10% premium applies to every hour worked from 10:00PM to 6:00AM, based on approved attendance. It compounds with overtime (125%), rest day (130%) and holiday (200%) multipliers instead of replacing them, and appears as a separate payslip line. WORKSPHR for BPO →Are regular and special holidays calculated differently?
Yes. WORKSPHR uses the Philippine holiday calendar maintained in the platform: 200% for a regular holiday and 130% for a special non-working day, increasing to 260% when a regular holiday falls on a rest day. Branches can also add local holidays for provincial proclamations.What happens when BIR or SSS changes a rule?
WORKSPHR is updated within 7 days after a rule is issued, so your HR team does not need to make the change manually. Contribution tables, tax brackets and premium schedules are maintained centrally. This is our published compliance service level.Can one payroll period include more than one pay group?
Yes. Unified payroll period generation creates one period for every pay group using the same frequency. Groups with different frequencies are processed separately.We have 15 employees. Is WORKSPHR suitable for us?
Yes. One pay group using the default earning types is enough, with your cutoff dates as the main setup. Pricing is per employee per month, and you can add pay groups as your organization grows without moving to another product.How can consultants be excluded from payroll setup checks?
They are marked payroll exempt. Exempt employees are left out of the incomplete payroll setup list, so HR does not have to collect government numbers or bank details for people who are not part of the payroll cycle.How long is implementation?
Standard implementation takes 14 days from the start. We import your data from Excel, Sprout, ZipHR or another HRIS, and stay involved through your first two payroll cycles. Implementation is included with every plan.
