Payroll that lands in your books
Keep your team, their salaries, their commissions, and their performance in the same system as the revenue they generate — so a payroll run is an accounting entry, not a separate spreadsheet.

One record per employee
Contact details, role, salary, and payment details in one place, so the person paying salaries is not hunting through chat history at the end of the month.
- Employee profiles with role and compensation
- Payment method and currency per employee
- Records tied to the payroll runs and commissions they belong to
Run payroll with the parts that actually vary
A payroll record covers more than a flat salary: basic pay, bonus, commission, deductions, and reimbursements resolve into net pay for the period.
- Basic salary, bonus, and commission on one record
- Deductions and reimbursements handled per run
- Pay period and payment date recorded on every entry
- Recurring payroll for salaries that repeat every month
Commissions tied to real sales
Commission is calculated against actual sales rather than a side spreadsheet. Set a percentage or a fixed amount, and track each commission through its lifecycle until it is paid.
- Percentage or fixed-amount commission per deal
- Statuses from pending, to ready to pay, to added to payroll, to paid
- Commission flows into the payroll run that pays it
Performance you can look at before a review
The performance tracker gives you a per-employee view of the activity behind the payroll number, so a salary conversation is based on something more than memory.
Every run posts to the ledger automatically
When a payroll record is paid, Staks writes the journal entry for it — salary expense against the account it was paid from. Your profit figure includes staff costs without anyone re-entering them, and reversing a run reverses the entry too.
Paying salaries in the UAE
UAE mainland employers generally pay salaries through the Wage Protection System, which runs through your bank. Staks is where you calculate, record, and account for payroll; the transfer itself stays with your bank, and your records line up with what you sent.
Questions
- Which plan includes payroll?
- Scale, at $99 per month. It covers employees, payroll runs, the performance tracker, unlimited business entities, and API and MCP access.
- Does Staks file payroll with WPS or a government portal?
- No. Staks calculates, records, and posts payroll to your books. Submitting the salary file and making the transfer stays with your bank — Staks holds the records that match it.
- Can I pay employees in different currencies?
- Yes. Each payroll record carries its own currency, and the ledger converts into your primary currency so profit figures stay consistent.

- The Scale plan covers payroll for up to 20 employees.
