One connected record from employee to approved payroll: two-person approval, official INSS and ATTL forms, balanced books, and salaries allocated by project and funding source.
One connected record from each employee to an approved payroll, with the evidence an accountant, a donor or an auditor will ask for kept where it was made.
Four steps, one connected record — you do the everyday part, Xefe does the rest.
Every step keeps its evidence — pay settings, calculations, approvals and journal lines can all be checked later, line by line.
Xefe keeps the normal path calm without hiding the evidence an accountant needs.
