Managing payroll processes can be a major challenge for companies, especially in a dynamic economic and legislative environment, as the beginning of 2025 has already shown. Smartree comes to the aid of HR specialists with concrete solutions, designed to optimize each stage of the payroll process, reducing errors and saving precious time for them, by:

• Monthly service planning
• Information processing
• Payroll calculation and document generation
• Detailed reporting

Monthly service planning 

An effective payroll process begins with rigorous planning, which allows us to adapt activities and deadlines to the specific requirements of each company. This stage includes:

• Creating a monthly deployment plan: The plan details the activities essential to performing payroll calculation, including collecting employee information, processing data, and generating necessary documents. This ensures a perfect alignment between the Smartree team and the customer.
• Agreeing the plan with the client: Our team actively collaborates with each client representative to ensure that all requirements are included and approved in advance, eliminating the risk of unpleasant surprises during the process.
• Transmission of legislative information: any legislative change is integrated in a timely manner into the process, thanks to a well-developed system for monitoring relevant legal developments. Thus, customers remain in compliance with legal regulations at all times.

Information processing

Information processing is one of the most important stages, ensuring the accuracy and correctness of the data. Our process includes:

• Data collection: we receive the necessary information, such as timesheets, sick leave, salary changes or sanctions. The standardized format used by Smartree simplifies collaboration and minimizes the time needed to verify data entry into the system.
• Verification and correction of inconsistencies: any inconsistency between the information provided and the expected information is identified and notified immediately to the client. This step is crucial to avoid errors in the final calculation.
• Import of monthly timesheets: after automatic verification, the data is imported into our secure systems and ready for processing. This step ensures the continuity of the payroll process, regardless of the volume of data managed. If errors are identified in the timesheets, the system returns warnings and does not allow the introduction of erroneous data in the timesheet.

Payroll calculation and document generation

Based on the processed information, Smartree performs the salary calculation in compliance with all the regulations in force and the company’s requirements. This stage involves:

• Calculation of salaries and related taxes: our team takes into account all legal aspects, from taxes to social contributions, to ensure a fair and compliant result.
• Generation of specific documentation:

1. Payroll: Detailed reports on employees’ salaries;
2. Centralizing: Analysis of the salary fund and related taxes;
3. Declaration 112: Official document, prepared for submission by the client;
4. Multicash files: Used to make salary payments;
5. Meal voucher files: Configured according to the provider chosen by the customer;
6. Pay slips: These are available online through our “Employee Self Service” portal, giving employees quick and transparent access to both personal and salary data.
