Managing Payroll and Work Schedules for Small Businesses

A practical guide to planning shifts, calculating salaries and bonuses without expensive HR software.

The challenge

Small businesses with 5-50 employees do not need complex HR software, but planning schedules and calculating payroll manually in Excel is slow and error-prone.

Planning the work schedule

Weekly calendar view

See the whole team on one screen — who works when, who is on leave, who is on sick leave. Color coding by shift type makes it easy to read.

Shift templates

Create templates (First shift, Second shift, Office) with a start and end time. The system calculates the hours automatically.

Copy a week

If the schedule rarely changes, copy the previous week with one click and make adjustments.

Calculating payroll

Formula: Hours × Rate + % of revenue + Bonuses

Finsense supports a flexible formula: base pay by hourly rate, a percentage of generated revenue and bonus schemes.

Bonus schemes

Four types: a fixed bonus per day, a percentage of revenue, hourly recalculation and a threshold (below X — fixed, above X — a percentage).

Paid leave

Paid leave is automatically included in the payroll at a set number of hours per day.

Staff portal

Employees have access to a mobile PWA app where they see their schedule, pay and profile — without access to sensitive business data.
