Open Source Payroll Software
Payroll is the one back-office system that is wrong in public: a miscalculated tax withholding or a late filing becomes an employee's problem and a regulator's penalty in the same pay cycle, and the rules change by jurisdiction every year. The open source payroll software here keeps the calculation engine, tax tables, and pay-run logic open and self-hosted, so you can see exactly how gross becomes net, adapt it to local rules, and keep salary data - some of the most sensitive records you hold - off a third party's servers.
