PayGuard audits every employee in your pay register, investigates payroll variances, and gives your team a clear commit recommendation before payroll runs.
What PayGuard does
Know whether to commit payroll before the funds leave the account. SAFE TO COMMIT. REVIEW BEFORE COMMIT. DO NOT COMMIT.
Every variance investigated — not just flagged. PayGuard tells you why it happened and what to do about it, with evidence.
A professional audit report ready to send to your client before every payroll cycle. Builds trust. Creates a paper trail.
We'll walk you through a live audit on a sample dataset in under 10 minutes.
Request a DemoThe PayGuard difference
These are example scenarios based on real payroll variance patterns. PayGuard detects them automatically — before payroll is committed.
A $2,500 bonus is approved in the change manifest but absent from the pay register. Without PayGuard, the employee doesn't get paid. The client gets a phone call.
A salary increase appears in the register with no corresponding manifest entry. Committing this without investigation is a compliance risk for the bureau and their client.
A salary increase is confirmed. But the 401(k) deduction moved more than expected. PayGuard separates what was authorised from what wasn't — within the same pay record.
Roster changes handled automatically
New hires, terminations, and transfers are detected and classified automatically. PayGuard confirms they're expected before every commit.
PayGuard is neutral and cross-platform. Upload your pay registers in CSV or Excel — no integration required. Your system stays yours.
Request a DemoThe workflow
PayGuard fits into your existing payroll process. No new systems. No integrations. Just a sharper decision before every commit.
Your current calculated pay register and the prior finalised register. Optionally include a change manifest for deeper analysis. CSV or Excel — whatever your system exports.
PayGuard compares every employee across both registers. Every variance is classified — expected, unexpected, or missing. High-severity findings are investigated in depth. In minutes, not hours.

What PayGuard analyses
Every employee. Every component. Gross pay, deductions, taxes, net pay — compared line by line against the prior period.
Authorised changes validated against what actually happened in the register. Unmanifested changes are flagged immediately.
New hires, terminations, and transfers detected automatically. PayGuard confirms roster changes are expected before every commit.
About PayGuard
PayGuard was built from years of hands-on payroll experience — investigating variances manually, navigating HCM systems, cross-referencing registers, and tracing authorised changes back through approval chains.
Every payroll cycle, the same questions. Did the salary change make it in? Is this deduction movement expected or not? Why does this employee's net pay look different? Which variances need investigation before the funds go out?
Those questions take time. Time spent navigating systems that were built for data entry, not investigation. Time that grows with every employee added and every variance found.
"We built the audit intelligence layer that payroll platforms don't provide."
PayGuard doesn't replace your payroll system. It sits alongside it — comparing what happened against what was authorised, explaining every variance, and giving your team a clear answer before the funds are released.
Payroll Assurance Before Funds Are Released.
Neutral. Cross-platform. Yours.
