Payroll Calculated From What Your Field Team Actually Did
Rental Wizard’s HR module ties wages and mileage directly to actual recorded field activity, so payroll reflects what really happened.
Field-heavy rental businesses — with drivers, technicians, and operators working across sites — often calculate payroll by hand from whatever hours and visit reports made it back to the office, which is slow and error-prone at best.
What’s included
- Weekly, monthly, and hybrid wage plan support
- Payroll cycles comparing suggested versus actual days/hours worked
- Manual adjustments, deductions, and bonuses, with full audit logging of any edits
- Task-based bonus logic: inspection completion, service completion, job completion, operator daily completion
- Duplicate payroll prevention per company and pay period
- Approved payroll posting directly into the Finance ledger
- Payable tracking and payout status through to actual payment (bulk or individual, cash or bank)
- Mileage claims auto-created from completed field visits, using policy-based rates
- Mileage review and approval workflow before ledger posting
- Total Pay Statement — base wages, bonuses, mileage, and incentives in one per-employee view
- Unified payout engine — wages, mileage, and bonuses disbursed through the same ledger-integrated flow
Manual payroll built from memory and scattered field reports is one of the most common sources of underpayment disputes and wasted admin hours in field-service businesses. Because wages and mileage are generated from the same records your team already creates by doing their jobs, payroll becomes a byproduct of normal operations rather than a separate reconstruction exercise.
Tax filing and W-2/1099 issuance are handled through an integrated, licensed payroll/tax-compliance partner rather than Rental Wizard acting as its own tax filer — the realistic path for accurate, regulated filing. Jurisdiction-appropriate documentation (P60/P45 in the UK, local certificates in Pakistan, none required in the UAE) is scoped separately from US W-2/1099 support.
Common questions
Does mileage tracking require a separate app or manual logging?
Mileage claims are created automatically from completed field visits with recorded distance, using your configured policy rate.
Can bonuses be tied to specific job outcomes?
Yes — bonus logic supports triggers like inspection completion, service completion, job completion, and daily operator completion.
Does approved payroll post to accounting automatically?
Yes — once a payroll run is approved, it posts directly into the Finance ledger as wage expense and employee payable.
Will Rental Wizard file my payroll taxes and issue W-2s directly?
The plan is to support this through an integrated, licensed payroll/tax-compliance partner rather than Rental Wizard acting as its own tax filer.
