A payroll tracking system is a secure platform where HR staff, managers, and employees can log in to view payroll information, track hours worked, access pay stubs, and review payment histories. It centralizes all payroll data and related documentation, so you don’t have to rely on scattered spreadsheets or endless email threads. This makes it much easier to stay organized and ensures that everyone has access to the payroll information they need.
Softr makes it straightforward to create a payroll tracking system tailored to your company’s specific needs. You can connect your existing data—like employee records in Airtable, shift schedules from Notion, or payroll calculations from other sources—and create a portal where users can view their pay history, download pay slips, submit timesheets, and update personal payroll details, all in one place.
You don’t have to write any code. You can start with a template or build from scratch, customize the layout, control who sees what, and brand it to match your organization. It’s fast to set up, easy to update, and flexible enough to adapt as your payroll processes evolve.
You can include a wide range of features in your payroll tracking system, depending on your payroll workflow. Some common examples are:
\- User logins – so each employee can securely access their own payroll information
\- Custom dashboards – to display pay history, upcoming payment dates, or accrued leave
\- Forms – for submitting timesheets, updating bank details, or reporting payroll issues
\- File sharing – for employees to download pay stubs or upload necessary documents
\- Search and filters – to help users quickly find specific pay periods or records
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to display payroll transactions, overtime hours, or adjustments
\- Comments or status updates – to keep communication about payroll in one place
\- Charts – to visualize earnings trends, tax withholdings, or benefit deductions
\- Calendar view – for pay cycles, deadlines, or scheduled payouts
\- Permissions and roles – so only authorized users can view or edit sensitive payroll data
All features are built using Softr’s drag-and-drop blocks, so you don’t need to code. And if your payroll requirements change, you can easily update the system any time.
No coding is required. You can build your payroll tracking system entirely using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from the layout to user permissions can be customized without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple clients or teams within the same payroll tracking system. Each user only sees the payroll data and information assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is helpful if you’re handling payroll for several departments, teams, or external clients all from one centralized platform.
Softr supports a wide variety of data sources for your payroll tracking system. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also import payroll data from other sources using the REST API.
You’re not restricted to just one source. Multiple data sources can be integrated into the same payroll tracking system and displayed together—so, for example, you can view payroll records from both Airtable and Google Sheets at once. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, ensuring your payroll records stay updated automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how users interact with your payroll tracking system. You can customize the layout, navigation, and content so it fits the needs of your team or clients. Each page or block can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, ensuring every user only sees payroll data relevant to them.
You can also create different user roles, such as payroll admin, HR manager, or team member—and define exactly what each role can view or edit. For instance, employees can see their personal payroll information, while payroll admins can manage all payroll records. You can also filter records based on the logged-in user for a personalized experience.
This customization helps keep your payroll tracking system organized, secure, and user-friendly no matter how many people or teams you manage.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to bring in existing payroll data from another tool to get started with Softr. If you’re starting fresh, you can use Softr Databases, which is built into the platform and integrates seamlessly with your payroll tracking system.
If you already have payroll data in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL databases, you can connect those as well. You can even use the REST API connector to bring in data from other sources. No matter where you start, you have full control over how your payroll information is set up and displayed in your system.
Yes, you can fully white-label your payroll tracking system in Softr. You can use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and custom domain to make the system feel like a seamless part of your organization. You can also remove all Softr branding, so your employees and administrators only see your company’s identity throughout the payroll experience.
Yes, you can. Softr gives you a lot of flexibility to control both the design and layout of your payroll tracking system. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and page structure to match your organizational style. You can also customize how each page is arranged, decide which blocks go where, and set what different users—like HR, payroll admins, or employees—see when they log in.
To display payroll data, you can add different types of blocks depending on what you need:
\- Table blocks – to show structured data like pay runs, timesheets, or payroll summaries
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight things like employee profiles, pay periods, or payroll resources
\- Detail View – to show one record at a time, such as a specific payroll run or employee’s payroll details
\- Forms – for submitting payroll adjustments or time entries
\- Charts – to visualize payroll trends or costs
\- Calendar blocks – to display pay dates or deadlines
If your content or design needs change later, it’s easy to make updates right in the visual builder.
Softr is built with security in mind. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your payroll tracking system is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. Softr apps also give you full control over who can see and do what in your payroll system. You can set up role-based permissions, manage users directly within your data source, set visibility rules, and apply global restrictions to protect sensitive payroll data across your entire system.
For systems connected to external data sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your data—it just displays it in real time based on your access settings. You’re always in control of your payroll data and who can view or edit it.
Softr also follows industry best practices for authentication, access control, and platform monitoring to help keep your payroll information safe.
You can get started for free. Softr’s Free plan lets you publish one payroll tracking system app with up to 10 users and 2 user groups, and includes support for all standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.
