# Panatag

> Panatag is payroll-first HR software (HRIS) for small and medium businesses in the Philippines. It computes semi-monthly payroll to the centavo with current SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and BIR withholding tables, issues payslips, and produces the government e-files. Free for up to 5 employees; paid plans start at ₱490/month.

Panatag is built and hosted for Philippine employers: amounts are in pesos, rules follow the Labor Code and DOLE guidance, and the statutory tables ship in the product, so a business doesn't maintain contribution tables itself.

## What it does

- **Payroll**: semi-monthly (or other) pay runs, statutory contributions and BIR withholding tax, 13th-month pay, final pay, loans and cash advances, allowances, de minimis benefits within their ceilings, and year-end annualization. Every payslip records the exact table version it was computed against, so past runs stay reproducible.
- **Time and attendance**: employees clock in from the mobile app, a shared kiosk tablet, a web portal, or a chat bot (Messenger, Viber, Telegram). Punches become a daily time record (DTR) with overtime, night differential, rest-day and holiday premiums computed per DOLE rules. Punch logs from biometric devices can be imported from CSV/Excel. Optional geofencing per branch.
- **Hourly and contractor pay**: hourly staff log hours by punching; rates come from a rate card or a personal hourly rate.
- **Employee self-service**: a web portal (ess.panatag.app, works in any phone browser) and iOS/Android apps in early access, for payslips, leave requests, attendance, documents and filling in missing government ID numbers.
- **Leave, reimbursements and shifts**: leave types and balances, approvals, shift schedules and holidays.
- **Government reports**: SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and BIR remittance files and reports (from the Small plan).
- **Documents**: Certificate of Employment and other HR letter templates, generated as PDFs and sent to employees.
- **Hiring**: job posts, a public apply page, and a candidate pipeline.
- **Imports**: bring employees, punches or worked hours over from any spreadsheet layout; the format is remembered per company.
