Pay production teams for every piece, exactly
Record each employee's output, let Nexa People calculate the amount at the agreed rate, and move it from pending to approved, then onto the payslip and to paid, with a clear record of who made what and when.
- Quantity × rate
- Approve, then payroll pays
- Dated rate card
Why it matters
Fair pay for output, without the tally sheets
Record output, price it at the agreed rate and approve it for pay, so production teams are paid for every piece. Quantity times rate does the maths, and every approved entry flows into payroll with a clean trail.
Calculated, not added up
Quantity times rate, rounded and recalculated on every edit, so nobody does the maths by hand.
Approved before it's paid
Only approved entries reach a payslip, so nothing unreviewed is paid unless you turn approval off.
Workers told of each decision
Employees hear when an entry is approved or rejected, in the app and by email.
01Record output
Log output in seconds, priced instantly
Record the employee, the type of work, the quantity and the date. The rate comes from your rate card, the amount is previewed as you type and stored by the server, and a pending entry is priced again whenever it is edited.
- Employee, category, type, quantity and date
- Amount = quantity × rate, rounded to two decimals
- Recalculated automatically on every edit
- Managers see only their own team's entries
02Approve and pay
From pending to paid, with a clean trail
Approvers approve or reject each entry, approved entries are paid on a payslip, and invalid jumps are refused. Separate permissions control who can approve and reject.
- Pending, approved, rejected and paid statuses
- Separate approve and reject permissions
- Notifications to the employee at every step
- Approval required, or approve automatically

03Rates and units
A rate card your supervisors can trust
Group types of work into categories, give each type its unit and a default rate, and set an employee's own rate where it differs. Every rate runs from an effective date, so a change is a new rate rather than an edit to history.
- Categories and types, each type with its unit
- Default rates, with per-employee rates where needed
- Rates by effective date; used rates are locked
- Pay on the Salary payslip, or a Piece Work payslip run

Yes. Piece work is paid on a payslip: the Salary payslip, or a separate Piece Work payslip run when Pay With Payroll is set to No. An entry becomes paid when its payslip is disbursed. There is no manual pay step.
