What’s new in Payonline 2.8
What it does
Payroll and HR work often ends up spread across spreadsheets, email threads and separate tools. This theme aims to pull those jobs into one site. It covers salary calculations, tax deductions and payslip generation, along with an employee database that holds profiles, attendance records and performance metrics. An interactive dashboard gives HR teams a view of payroll status, upcoming deadlines and pending tasks, with notifications to keep things moving.
The theme also handles the public and internal pages around HR, such as job listings, onboarding forms and internal documents, which you can adjust to match your branding without writing code. Role-based access control lets you decide who sees sensitive information. Support for multiple languages and currencies helps teams spread across countries, and the layout works on phones and tablets. A one-click demo import gives you pre-built content as a starting point for your site.
Best for
- Small businesses managing payroll and HR in-house
