Employer app
The Employer app is the part of Payroll Manager for your company, the employer. Your payroll bureau runs your payroll in Payroll Manager Cloud. You use this app on your phone to send them the hours your staff worked, from a photo of a paper timesheet or from a spreadsheet.
The app opens in your phone's browser and you can add it to your home screen, so it works like an ordinary app. There is nothing to download from an app store.

Who does what
- Your payroll bureau opens each pay period, calculates the pay, deals with Revenue and MyFutureFund, and decides who your company's employer admin is.
- The employer admin (one person per company) invites colleagues to the app and chooses what each of them can do.
- Users do what the admin allows: send hours, see hours, approve payroll or export data.
AI and your data
You see this line at the bottom of every screen of the app.
