Payroll that lives where your business already runs.

CoreX Payroll is the payroll layer inside CoreXBiz — built to manage employee pay runs, wages, deductions, pay periods, and Canadian tax calculations from inside the same platform where the rest of your business operates. It is not a standalone payroll service. It is the payroll module that connects to the team structure, employee records, and accounting already inside CoreXBiz. No separate login. No disconnected system. CoreX Payroll is currently in active development, with the foundation — UI, database, and core payroll workflow — built. It is pending specialist review before release.

Most businesses using a dedicated payroll service end up manually re-entering information that already lives somewhere else — employee names, roles, hours, and financial data all have to cross system boundaries. CoreX Payroll is built on the premise that payroll data belongs where the rest of the operational data lives. Your team is already set up in CoreXBiz. Payroll should know that. When a pay run processes, it should flow into accounting — not require a second step in a second tool. For businesses that need specialized payroll capabilities beyond what CoreX Payroll provides, a dedicated provider alongside CoreXBiz remains a valid approach. CoreX Payroll is designed for businesses that want payroll connected to operations.

CoreX Payroll is not positioning itself as a replacement for specialized payroll services — they serve different needs. The difference is architectural. Dedicated payroll tools are payroll-first — payroll is their core function. CoreX Payroll is an operations-first module where payroll is connected to the business already running inside CoreXBiz — team structure, job records, employee management, and accounting. If your payroll needs are straightforward and you want them connected to your operational platform rather than managed in a parallel tool, CoreX Payroll is designed for that. If your payroll requirements are complex and compliance-specific, you may use a dedicated provider alongside CoreXBiz.

Not yet. CoreX Payroll is in active development. The foundation is built — the UI, database, and core payroll workflow (employees, pay rates, pay periods, and pay runs) are functional. Development has been intentionally paused to bring in an accountant and HR specialist to validate tax calculations, deduction logic, and compliance requirements before businesses depend on it for paying their people. When it releases, it will have been reviewed by the right professionals. Claim your founding price now — you will have access at the founding rate when it does.

Because payroll is too important to rush. The core workflow is built. But Canadian payroll involves federal and provincial tax calculations, CPP and EI contributions, T4 slips, government remittances, and compliance requirements that vary by province. Getting those details right — not just structurally, but accurately — requires professional validation. A deliberate decision was made to pause development and bring in an accountant and HR specialist before release. That review is the remaining step. That is the right call for software that businesses will depend on to pay their employees.

We do not publish specific release dates. CoreX Payroll is in active development, with specialist review as the remaining milestone before release. The foundation — UI, database, employee management, pay periods, and pay run workflow — is built. What remains is specialist validation of tax calculations and compliance requirements, then completing the features that depend on that validation: year-to-date tracking, T4 generation, paystub generation, and accounting integration. Claim the founding price now. When payroll releases, you will already have it at the rate you locked in.

Here is what is being built, organized by readiness: Foundation built: — Employee management — create employees, link to team roles, set employment status — Pay rate management — hourly and salary rates with effective date tracking and rate history — Pay period scheduling — weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly; auto-generate for the full year — Payroll run workflow — draft, calculate, approve, and process with audit logging In active development / pending specialist review: — Canadian tax calculation — federal income tax, provincial income tax (ON, BC, AB built; full provincial coverage pending specialist validation), CPP, and EI — T4 slip generation — infrastructure built; requires accurate year-to-date data — Paystub generation — infrastructure built; completing after run workflow is finalized — Government remittances — infrastructure built; amounts depend on specialist-validated year-to-date totals Planned: — Accounting integration — payroll entries flowing into CoreXBiz Accounting on processing — Employee self-service (via Employee Portal) — access to paystubs and year-to-date summaries — Multi-company support — infrastructure in place, logic planned

Yes — Canadian payroll is the primary focus. The tax engine calculates federal income tax, provincial income tax, CPP (Canada Pension Plan) contributions, and EI (Employment Insurance) premiums. Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta tax brackets are implemented. Full coverage across all provinces and territories is part of the specialist review — the accountant validation will confirm and complete the provincial tax data before release. US payroll is not in the current scope.

Yes. The pay rate system supports hourly, salary, commission, and piece-rate structures. Overtime, double-time, night shift, weekend, and holiday differential rates can all be configured per employee. Rates track effective dates — when you adjust an employee's wage, the previous rate is preserved in history. Payroll calculations use the rate that was in effect during the pay period.

CoreX Payroll is included as part of the CoreXBiz platform — not sold as a separate add-on. It is included in CoreXBiz paid plans. See the pricing page for plan details. Claim the founding price now. When CoreX Payroll releases after specialist review, you will have access at the founding rate already locked in.

No. CoreXBiz has a full set of modules — email, accounting, estimates, time tracking, employee management, and more. Payroll is one of the modules in active development. Claim the founding price today. You get access to what is available now, and when payroll releases, it is already included at the rate you locked in. Waiting means paying the post-founding price for the same access.

The founding price is CoreXBiz's early-access rate — offered to businesses that come on board during the active development period. It locks in your subscription rate permanently; it does not expire when the platform reaches general availability pricing. For Payroll specifically, this means you are securing access at the founding rate now, before the module releases. When an accountant and HR specialist have validated it and it goes live, you will already have it — no upgrade, no additional purchase.

Employee records in the Employee Portal are linked to payroll employee records in CoreX Payroll via a shared identifier — when an employee has a CoreXBiz account, their portal access and payroll record are connected. This means team structure, roles, and employee data defined in the platform are not re-entered for payroll. The planned Employee Portal self-service layer will allow employees to view their own paystubs and year-to-date summaries once payroll is released.

When a payroll run is processed, the plan is for it to generate journal entries automatically in CoreXBiz Accounting — payroll expenses, CPP and EI liabilities, income tax payable, and the net pay debit from your bank account. This accounting integration is planned and will be part of the release. The double-entry structure is being designed alongside the payroll calculation engine so the two modules stay in sync from the first processed run.

All CoreXBiz data — including payroll records, employee compensation, tax calculations, and pay history — lives on your server, under your control. CoreXBiz runs on your installation. There is no CoreXBiz cloud where your payroll data is transmitted, stored, or processed by a third party. Your employee and financial records stay on infrastructure you own.

CoreX Payroll is software that calculates payroll based on the data and configuration you provide. It will be validated by an accountant and HR specialist before release to ensure the calculation logic is correct. That said: payroll compliance — ensuring accurate filings, meeting remittance deadlines, and staying current with annual rate changes — remains the responsibility of the business operator. CoreX Payroll will make the calculations; it does not file on your behalf or act as a registered payroll agent. We recommend that businesses using CoreX Payroll work with their accountant to review initial configuration, confirm provincial tax setup, and validate payroll outputs during the first pay periods.

Before CoreX Payroll releases, an accountant and HR professional will review the following: — Tax calculation accuracy — federal and provincial income tax brackets, CPP rates and maximums, EI rates and maximums — Year-to-date tracking and accumulation logic — Deduction categories and compliance — T4 slip box mapping and CRA electronic filing requirements — Government remittance schedules and amount calculations — Overtime and statutory holiday rules — Pay period rules and compliance requirements This review ensures the calculation engine is mathematically correct and that the payroll workflow meets the compliance requirements businesses actually face. It is not a marketing milestone — it is the last engineering gate before release.

Here is an honest summary: Foundation built: — Full database schema (22 tables covering employees, rates, periods, runs, calculations, taxes, T4 slips, remittances, and more) — Employee management with user account integration — Pay rate management with effective date tracking — Pay period management with auto-generation — Payroll run workflow: draft → calculated → approved → processed — Canadian tax engine (ON, BC, AB) connected to the run calculation Pending specialist review and completion: — Full provincial tax coverage (remaining provinces and territories beyond ON/BC/AB) — Year-to-date CPP and EI accumulation and cap enforcement — Paystub generation — T4 slip generation and CRA export — Government remittance amounts Planned: — Accounting integration (journal entries on payroll processing) — Employee self-service paystub access via Employee Portal — US payroll — not in current scope

No. It means the software is built but not yet validated to a level where we are comfortable with businesses depending on it to pay their employees. The core payroll workflow — creating employees, setting pay rates, running payroll, approving, and processing — functions correctly. The calculation engine produces output. What has not been validated: whether those calculations are accurate enough for every employee type, in every province, across every edge case in Canadian payroll law. Tax law, CPP and EI maximums, and provincial rates require professional sign-off, not just working code. 'Pending specialist review' means the system works — and we want it confirmed right before businesses depend on it.

Yes. After the initial release (following specialist review), the planned roadmap includes: In active development: Full Canadian provincial tax coverage, year-to-date tracking, paystub generation, T4 slip generation Planned: Accounting integration (payroll → journal entries), Employee Portal self-service, government remittance scheduling, multi-company support Not in current scope: US payroll, direct deposit or bank file generation Roadmap priorities are shaped by what businesses actually need. If there are capabilities you are waiting on, the 'Book a Demo' conversation is the right place to register them.
