Connect your Octal HR and Octal Accounts workspaces in under 2 minutes. Every payroll run after that is fully automated.

Run payroll. Done.

Every time you finalise a payroll run in Octal HR, a balanced journal entry is created in Octal Accounts automatically. Review, approve, or post instantly from either system.

Zero manual entry. Zero reconciliation errors.
Data Sync

Every number flows both ways

The integration goes beyond payroll journals. Loans, advances, reimbursements, and social-security filings all reflect accurately in your books — with full drill-down back to source transactions in Octal HR.

Monthly Payroll Journal
Gross salary, net payable, income tax, social security, and loan recovery — all in one balanced entry per pay run.
Loan Disbursements & Repayments
When a loan is approved, a liability entry is created. Each repayment deduction reduces it. Overdue loans flag in both systems.
Arrears & Adjustments
Salary revisions, back-pay, and mid-month adjustments generate separate clearly-labelled journal entries.
Social Security Employer Contribution
The employer's social-security share posts as a separate expense and corresponding payable, keeping your statutory liabilities accurate.
