How the ledger works

Use one account to track work you do for employers and work done by employees you pay. This quick start explains both directions without requiring separate accounts or employee logins.

1. Add employers, employees and the rates you use

One account supports both sides at the same time. Add employers who pay you and employees you pay, then choose currencies and create hourly, daily, shift, piece, task or fixed rate cards. Employees do not need an account or login; you maintain their records yourself.

2. Record work when it happens

For each work record, choose whether it is your receivable work for an employer or payable work for an employee. Add the date, optional job, rate and quantity; the ledger calculates and preserves the original amount.

3. Keep money moving in each direction clear

Record receipts from employers and payments to employees separately, together with advances, expenses, bonuses and deductions. Balances then show what an employer still owes you and what you still owe each employee.

4. Review and settle the correct side

Review the period, then finalise either an employer receivable settlement or an employee payroll settlement. Reports, CSV, PDF, print views and secure read-only links keep the relationship and balance direction clear; employees can receive a statement without logging in.
