EMPLOYEES & PAYSLIPS
Keep helper hours, leave and pay records in one careful workflow.
Manually record hours and leave, enter verified rates and deductions, review each pay period and prepare consistent PDF payslips without making every helper create an account.
Built for solo operators. No sales call required.
WHAT CHANGES
A small employee workspace without the weight of a full payroll platform.
Keep the records a growing service business needs while leaving rates, deductions, payments and statutory decisions under the owner’s control.
Keep hours attached to the right person
Record ordinary time and overtime for each active helper instead of rebuilding the week from messages and notes.
Make leave visible before pay is prepared
Keep annual, sick, unpaid and paid-leave entries in the same review workspace.
Give each helper a consistent record
Prepare a downloadable, printable payslip PDF without requiring the recipient to maintain a TradePocket login.
HOW IT WORKS
Record the time. Check the figures. Prepare the payslip.
Each pay period moves through a clear manual review before a PDF is finalized or shared.
Kept together through the day
- Customer details stay with the job
- Notes are ready before the visit
- Invoicing follows completed work
STEP 01
Add the helper and agreed pay details
Enter the employee’s contact details, role, pay frequency and owner-verified ordinary and overtime rates.
STEP 02
Record time, leave and deductions manually
Update the pay-period inputs and verify deductions supplied by the employer or their qualified adviser.
STEP 03
Review and prepare the PDF
Check gross pay, deductions and net pay, then print, download or share the finalized payslip record.
WHAT YOU GET
Practical records for the owner and a clear document for the helper.
The Employee Add-on helps organize the inputs and output without pretending to replace an accountant, payroll provider or employer judgment.
Per-helper workspace
Keep contact details, role, pay frequency and active status together for each helper.
Ordinary and overtime hours
Record hours by day with ordinary and overtime time clearly separated.
Leave balances and entries
Track the leave information used in the pay-period review, including paid and unpaid entries.
Owner-verified pay inputs
Enter rates and deductions manually so TradePocket never invents statutory values or silently changes the final amount.
BCEA-style payslip fields
Use a consistent reusable layout for common employer, employee, pay-period, earning, deduction and net-pay information.
Printable PDF records
Prepare a clear payslip for download, printing or email while keeping the underlying pay-period record available to the owner.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Clear answers before you start.
How much does the Employee Add-on cost? +
It is $10 per month for each active helper. Employees do not need their own paid TradePocket accounts.
Does TradePocket calculate payroll taxes or statutory deductions? +
No. The owner enters verified rates and deductions. TradePocket does not calculate statutory deductions, move employee money or submit government filings.
Is the PDF a guarantee of legal compliance? +
No. The reusable layout can present BCEA-style payslip fields, but the employer remains responsible for checking every value and meeting the employment, recordkeeping and payslip rules that apply where they operate.
Can a helper receive a payslip without a TradePocket account? +
Yes. The owner can prepare a printable or downloadable PDF without requiring the employee to sign in.
Is TradePocket designed for a one-person business? +
Yes. TradePocket is made for people running a service business on their own. You get the everyday tools without screens for crews, dispatchers or departments.
