Alobri PayrollCloud payroll systemWhat is payroll software?
Payroll software calculates each employee's earnings, deductions, taxes and contributions for a pay period based on salary, time exceptions and local rules. It produces pay statements, payment files and accounting reports, and keeps a record of every calculation so it can be reviewed later.
In Alobri HCM, payroll pulls pre-payroll from attendance, approved time exceptions and employee records directly, so nothing has to be rekeyed. Calculations follow local rules, such as CFDI 4.0, IMSS and ISR in Mexico, PILA in Colombia, AFP in Peru and Chile or INSS in Brazil, within enabled localizations.
What your team gets from Alobri payroll software
Less rekeying between teams
Attendance, time exceptions, new hires and pay changes live in the same suite that runs payroll. Payroll stops chasing spreadsheets from HR and every location before each cutoff.
Review before you close
Pre-payroll is editable: review earnings codes, correct with a reason and approve before the final run. Differences surface while they can still be fixed.
Local rules, configured
Earnings, taxes and contributions are configured to the localization of each enabled country. It helps you stay compliant without maintaining your own spreadsheets.
Software or service, your call
Run payroll in-house or hand processing to Alobri's managed payroll team, with an agreed calendar, validation and close.
An audit trail for every run
Each run records who prepared it, who approved it and what changed. Reconciliation compares results by earnings code against agreed sources.

When integrated payroll software pays off
High volumes of time exceptions
Manufacturing, retail and logistics deal with shifts, overtime and turnover every week. When pre-payroll comes straight from attendance, payroll starts from data that is already approved.
Lean payroll teams
If one or two people run all of payroll, Alobri's managed payroll service can handle processing while your team reviews and approves.
Groups with several entities or countries
Each entity keeps its own local rules and calendar, while leadership reviews consolidated workforce cost in the same suite.

Can I keep my current payroll system?
Yes. You can subscribe to Time + Pre-payroll only and export hours, absences and approved exceptions to systems such as CONTPAQi. Later you can move to Alobri payroll and bring your history with the migration service and reconciliation testing.
Can Alobri run payroll for us?
Yes. With managed payroll operations, the Alobri team processes your payroll on an agreed calendar with validation and close, while your team reviews and approves. It is billed per employee per month, and scope is defined before you start.
What if I need an off-cycle run?
Off-cycle runs, such as special payments or events outside the regular calendar, are processed separately with their own approval controls. They are quoted per run based on scope, on top of the four regular monthly runs included.
How is payroll data protected?
Access is role-based, so each user sees only the information they need, and audit logs record who prepared, changed and approved each run. For stricter requirements, roles and segregation of duties, audit trails and SSO are available as add-on services.
Does it integrate with accounting and ERP systems?
Accounting integration maps payroll codes to your cost centers, accounts and journal entries. Alobri also integrates with SAP HCM, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, ADP and other systems through APIs and webhooks. Each connection is scoped and tested during implementation.
