Payroll & Compliance Software: Payslips & SEPA
Payroll and compliance software: automatic payslips (Recibo de Vencimento), SEPA payroll exports, EU Working Time Directive tracking, and GDPR-aligned attendance.
Turn verified attendance into correct payroll — automatic payslips, SEPA exports, and EU Working Time compliance, on a GDPR-aligned platform.
From Attendance to Closed Books in One Platform
A lot of attendance software stops at the timesheet. Payroll and compliance software goes further: it takes the verified hours, breaks, and overtime from every shift and turns them into the numbers your payroll and regulators actually need.
No manual re-keying
Hours flow straight from approved shifts into the payroll run. Idempotent time-clock writes mean double-clocking can't create duplicates.
Audit-ready
Every time correction, approval, and anomaly flag is timestamped and retained, so you can answer an auditor the same week you're asked.
Multi-country rules
The same account can apply US (FLSA), EU, Portugal, and Spain working-time rules to different companies.
Automatic Payslips (Recibo de Vencimento)
Generating a correct payslip by hand — especially in Portugal, where the Recibo de Vencimento has mandatory fields — is fiddly and error-prone. Chegatta builds each payslip from the shift data behind it:
Salary components
Base, overtime, meal allowance, travel allowance, bonuses, and deductions.
Overtime breakdown by tier
Daily/weekly, weekend, and holiday tiers exactly as your labor law defines.
English + Portuguese versions
Employees and accountants both get a familiar document.
Employee privacy built in
Payslips are issued per employee; employees see and download only their own.

SEPA Payroll Exports
When the payroll run is approved, you need to actually pay people. Chegatta exports the run as SEPA XML (pain.001.001.03) — the format EU banks accept for batch salary payments.
One export per approved run
The run's payer is correctly set as the debtor in every file.
Bank detail validation
Exports are blocked if any employee is missing an IBAN, so you never ship a half-complete file.
Works with your bank
Upload the XML to your business web-banking and pay out; the data stays consistent end-to-end.
That closes the loop: attendance → payroll run → SEPA file → money in accounts, all traceable to the same approved numbers.
EU Working Time Directive — Actually Tracked
"We comply with the Working Time Directive" is a claim many systems make. Chegatta tracks the inputs that matter:
Limits & rest periods
Daily/weekly working limits and rest per country (PT, ES, and more).
Night & shift differentials
Applied automatically when your schedule defines them.
Flag non-compliant shifts
A manager can fix a pattern before it becomes an audit finding.
Records you can show
Attendance history, approved shifts, and reports retained for your retention policy.
Because the engine is per-country, a staffing agency placing workers across borders gets the right rules for each client company automatically.
GDPR & Records
Payroll data is personal data. Chegatta treats it that way:
Consent first
Device and location tracking requires explicit employee consent.
Retention by design
IP addresses and user-agent strings are deleted after 90 days; anomalies anonymized after a year.
Employee rights
Workers can view, download, and if needed remove their own device and attendance data.
Access controls
Role-based scoping (owner → agency → company → employee) keeps payslips visible only to who should see them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a replacement for my accountant?
No. Chegatta produces the accurate payroll data, payslips, and SEPA files, but doesn't replace statutory filings or tax advice. Your accountant works from clean, audit-ready numbers.
Can I correct a time entry before payroll?
Yes — admins and managers can correct shift times, and every edit is audited and notified to the employee before the payroll run is locked.
Which languages is the platform available in?
English, Spanish, and Portuguese — including payslip output in English and Portuguese.
Do you store bank details securely?
Bank details needed for SEPA exports are held as restricted fields, treated as personal data under GDPR, and only used to build payroll runs you approve.
