Security & compliance

Premium trust layer for payroll-sensitive teams.

Every workspace is isolated, every action is logged, and every payroll run is locked after approval. Security is built into the operating model — not added on top.

Tenant-isolated workspace data

Every workspace runs in complete data isolation. No cross-tenant leakage.

Role-based payroll permissions

Payroll is separated from HR and self-service by role — not just by UI.

Locked payroll-run foundations

Payroll runs lock after approval. No retroactive edits without an audit trail.

Audit trails for sensitive actions

Every change to employee, leave, payroll, and subscription data is logged.
