United States
Handled as an external withholding boundary. U.S. withholding may require approved external inputs or a provider integration rather than a native Tork tax calculation.
Payroll
A clear payroll workflow from salary setup to payslip.
Payroll in Tork is a sequence with owners, not a single button. Salary structure, worked time, calculation, review, approval and the published payslip are connected steps inside the same workspace your people and attendance data already live in.
The payroll chain
Ten steps, each with a responsible role.
Nothing in the chain is implicit. A run does not become approved because time passed — someone with the permission to approve it approved it, and the record says so.
Salary setupStructure, components and entitlements per employee.
Pay periodThe cycle being run, per legal entity and country.
Attendance & leaveWorked time, absence and overtime feed the run.
CalculationGross, deductions and net resolved for the period.
ReviewPayroll staff check the run before it moves on.
Prepared / verifiedThe run is marked ready by the responsible role.
ApprovedApproval is an explicit, permissioned action.
FinalizeThe period is closed against further edits.
PayslipEmployees receive their own published payslip.
Payment & historyPayment records and prior periods stay reviewable.
Countries & legal entities
Country first, then the right payroll.
Payroll is separated by legal entity, country, currency and approval chain, so teams are not scanning every market on one crowded screen.
How statutory calculation works. Tork resolves payroll workflows by employee country and legal entity. Statutory calculation methods vary by market and may use supported native rules, configured employer rules or approved payroll/withholding inputs depending on the country.
India
Native rules are supported for statutory components including PF, EPS and EDLI, subject to configuration and employee eligibility.
United Arab Emirates
Configurable UAE pay items, run in AED against the relevant legal entity and approval chain.
What Tork is not. Tork is not marketed as a universal global tax engine, and it does not claim automatic statutory calculation for every country or legally compliant payroll everywhere. Country coverage, calculation method and any provider requirement are confirmed during discovery for the markets you actually run.
Payroll privacy
Being in payroll is not the same as seeing all of payroll.
Payroll and payslip access requires appropriate authenticated permissions. Employees reach their own published payslips through self-service; company payroll control is a separate permission that is granted deliberately.
- Self-service payslips. Employees see their own, not the company's.
- Separate payroll permissions. Finance access does not imply payroll access.
- Explicit approval. Approval is a permissioned action, recorded as one.
- Auditable. Sensitive payroll actions are designed to be reviewable.
