Have questions?
We have answers.
What is payroll software and how does it work?
Payroll software handles much of the work that used to require manual calculations, files, and multiple reviews. With Runa, a company can calculate salaries, taxes, earnings, and deductions, record incidents, stamp CFDI payslips, manage social security processes, and prepare employee payments from a single platform. For HR and Payroll, this helps keep the process far more connected, with less information scattered across different places.
How do you calculate employee payroll in Mexico?
Calculating payroll in Mexico involves reviewing much more than each person’s salary. You need to consider days worked, earnings, deductions, ISR, IMSS, INFONAVIT, FONACOT, and also incidents such as vacations, leave, or overtime. Runa automates these calculations and applies the rules that apply in each case. That way, the payroll team relies less on manual calculations and can reduce errors that later end up taking time to fix.
Does Runa calculate and stamp payroll automatically?
Yes. Runa automates both payroll calculation and stamping. In the same flow, you can calculate earnings, deductions, and taxes, review the pre-payroll, identify variations, and process payroll. Then the system lets you generate the corresponding payslips without jumping between multiple tools.
Does Runa automate IMSS, IDSE, and SUA?
Yes. Runa helps automate several social security processes that typically take the payroll team a lot of time. This includes calculating IMSS contributions, affiliation movements, bimonthly variability, and generating SUA files. In practice, the team can reduce operational workload and focus more on verifying the information is correct before closing each period.
Can I customize payroll calculation formulas and rules?
Yes. Runa has a rules engine that lets you create, edit, and save payroll formulas based on each company’s operating model and compensation structure. Your team can configure variables, conditions, and different calculation criteria. You can also work with 30-day, 30.4-day, or actual-day schemes, depending on what each calculation requires. This provides more flexibility when payroll rules go beyond a basic setup.
Does Runa integrate attendance, vacations, and incidents with payroll?
Yes. Runa connects payroll with information such as attendance, vacations, leave, absences, tardiness, overtime, and other day-to-day incidents. This avoids entering the same data over and over again. It also helps HR and Payroll work from a single source of truth—especially useful when there are many employees or multiple changes during the period.
Does Runa let me pay payroll and deliver payslips to employees?
Yes. Runa connects payroll calculation with compensation payment and payslip delivery. The company can work with bank integrations and bank file layouts, track disbursements, and make payroll payslips available to each employee. This lets you run much of the process from one place—from the initial calculation to when the employee receives their proof of payment.
