Payroll System for Businesses in the Philippines

Choosing an HR system should not mean a big bill and a new full-time job. Many HR software tools charge extra for each module, then expect you to hire an admin or a consultant to run them. For a Philippine business of any size, that is a lot to take on just to pay people correctly. HERA is built differently. It handles SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, overtime, and 13th month pay. Our dedicated HR support team sets it up with you and answers your questions. Rostering and asset management come at no extra cost.

What is a payroll system?

A payroll system is software that works out what each person should be paid. It takes off the right deductions and prepares the payslip. HERA does this for companies in the Philippines. It handles basic pay, overtime, night differential, holiday pay, allowances, and 13th month pay.

HERA is also customized. We set up your pay rules, pay dates, and approval steps the way your company works. You are not forced into a one-size template.

What HERA can handle for Philippine payroll

  • Basic pay, overtime, and night differential
  • Holiday and rest day pay rules
  • SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG contributions
  • Withholding tax on compensation
  • 13th month pay
  • Company loans, cash advances, and other deductions
  • Payslips that employees can open themselves

Rates and rules change from time to time. HERA lets you update them, and your team checks each run before anything is paid or filed.

Who is this payroll system for?

HERA is built for businesses of every size, from small teams to large enterprises. It is a good fit if you:

  • Run payroll for a few employees or several thousand
  • Pay staff on shifts, with overtime and night work
  • Have branches or offices in more than one city
  • Hire people in other countries and want one system
  • Want a system that does not need extra staff to run
