Set up your company
Create your company in Panatag and walk through the one-time setup wizard for pay schedule, workweek, employees and clock-in.
Updated October 18, 2026
When you sign up, you first create your company, then the owner is guided through a one-time setup wizard. Everything you choose in the wizard can be changed later in Settings.
Who can do this: A new user creates the company; the setup wizard is shown once to the company’s owner.
Create your company
A new user who doesn’t belong to any company yet sees Set up your company.
- Enter the Company name.
- Enter a Promo code (optional) if you have one.
- Click Create company.
If the promo code doesn’t go through, your company is still created and a message tells you why. You can skip the promo code here and enter it later in Billing. See Manage your plan and pay invoices.
After the company is created, owners see a one-time setup wizard.
Setup wizard: company profile and pay schedule
The setup wizard is shown once to a new company’s owner. Skip setup is always available, and ← Back goes back a step.
- Welcome to Panatag: click Get started.
- Company profile: enter the Legal name (required), Trade name / DBA, Registered address and Region (optional), then click Continue. The region is used to suggest the regional minimum wage when you set pay rates.
- When do you pay your team?: pick a Pay schedule, such as 15th & end of month, 5th & 20th, 10th & 25th, 15th (monthly), End of month, Monthly, your cutoff day or Custom / manual. Choose how to deduct SSS / PhilHealth / Pag-IBIG: Split across both cutoffs or Second cutoff only. Toggle Email payslips to employees on or off, then click Continue.
Setup wizard: workweek, employees and clock-in
- How many days a week does your team work?: choose a 5, 6 or 7-day workweek, set the default weekly schedule, and set the grace period and half-day threshold. Click Continue.
- Add your employees: upload a CSV and click Import, or click Skip — add employees later.
- How does your team clock in?: choose Enable the Panatag mobile app or I’ll set this up later.
- You’re ready to run payroll: click Go to dashboard.
Everything in the setup wizard can be changed later in Settings.
