Local payroll availableCurrency: USDAlobri HCM is cloud-based HR and payroll software in Panama. It combines time and attendance, digital employee files, local payroll calculation, recruiting, assessments and analytics in one suite, with local rules for CSS, MITRADEL and DGI, so HR, finance and operations share the same data.
In Panama, the Social Security Fund (CSS), reformed by Law 462 of 2025, collects worker contributions, and the thirteenth-month pay is split into three installments a year. Alobri brings time data, employee records and payroll together so operations in balboas and dollars run from one data source. Local payroll is available in Panama starting with the HCM Operations plan.
