Overview
What is Payroll?
Payroll module handles outbound money movement — salaries, contractor payments, bonuses, and token vesting — with entity management, approval workflows, and employee-facing portals.
Payroll is Settlematic's outbound crypto payroll module — run batch pay runs, recurring schedules, and mass payouts with maker-checker approvals and on-chain disbursement.
Employees verify wallets in a self-serve portal; finance exports payslips and compliance artifacts with transaction hashes attached.

Capabilities
Everything in Payroll — explained
12 capabilities for operators, finance teams, and developers. Jump to a deep dive or explore the full module below.
Entities
Payroll entities & multi-program support
Separate payroll programs without separate legal companies.
A payroll entity is a program context — "US contractors", "EU dev team", "DAO contributors" — with its own legal name, address, tax ID on payslips, default asset, and team roster. Switch entities from the sidebar without losing org-level treasury access.
- Multiple entities per organization
- Entity switcher with dedicated sub-navigation
- Legal name, address, and tax ID on payslip PDFs
- Per-entity default payout asset and network
- Country and jurisdiction fields per entity
Pay runs
Batch pay runs with preview & execution
Pay dozens of wallets in one approved run.
Create pay runs from schedules or ad hoc. Import pay lines via CSV, preview totals and gas estimates, route through approval, then disburse on-chain — with per-recipient status: pending, sent, failed, confirmed. Idempotent runs prevent double pay.
- CSV upload for pay run lines
- Preview total and gas before broadcast
- Batch disbursement — multicall where supported
- Per-recipient status tracking with tx hashes
- Cancel run before on-chain broadcast
- Partial run execution (pay some now, rest later)
Schedules
Recurring pay schedules
Weekly, biweekly, and monthly payroll on autopilot.
Define weekly, biweekly, or monthly schedules that auto-generate draft pay runs on trigger. Approvers receive email notifications; pause or resume schedules without losing history. Timezone-aware triggers planned for global teams.
- Weekly, biweekly, and monthly intervals
- Auto-generate draft run on schedule
- Approver notification email
- Pause/resume without deleting history
- Schedule-linked pay run audit trail
