Payroll that posts to the GL it should have posted to all along.
Payroll run outside the ERP means someone manually journals the payroll summary into the GL every period — a process that is slow, error-prone, and rarely broken down accurately by cost center or project. TrackElan payroll calculates gross-to-net from the employee master and posts labor cost directly to the correct cost center or project WBS in the same run.
That gives project managers real labor cost against their budget, not an allocated estimate that shows up weeks later.
Eliminate the manual payroll-to-GL journal entry every period
Give project managers real, current labor cost — not a delayed allocation
Cut payroll processing errors from manual re-entry between systems
Keep payroll data in the same access-controlled platform as the rest of HR and finance
