Modernize HR operations with a cloud-based payroll solution built for Microsoft Dynamics 365
U.S. companies face mounting pressure to replace manual time and leave tracking with integrated, Microsoft-ready systems that reduce errors and speed cycles.
From manual HR tasks to automated workflows: the challenges U.S. businesses face today
Many teams still gather time on spreadsheets, causing late runs and reconciliation headaches. Manual accruals and disjointed approvals create compliance gaps and wasted hours.
Slow cycles strain finance and people teams, and managers spend time fixing data instead of leading. These issues hurt morale and block strategic work.
What Dynamo Payroll delivers: Cloud-Based Payroll, HR, and Employee Self-Service
Dynamo standardizes processes, centralizes employee records, and automates approvals end to end. It maps policies into rules so accruals, overtime, and settlements compute consistently.
Employees submit leave requests, view timesheets, check pay history, and update personal info—reducing back-and-forth and service tickets.
- Automated workflows route requests to managers, enforce policies, and log actions.
- Dashboards show real-time insights on accrual liabilities and labor costs.
- Built on Microsoft dynamics 365, the platform uses native tools for faster adoption and fewer integrations.
“Consolidating time, leave, and pay data cuts processing time and improves forecast accuracy.”

Automating leave, gratuity, and attendance: streamline processes end to end
A unified approach to leave, gratuity, and time tracking lets managers act on clean, timely data. Automation ties requests, calculations, and approvals into a single flow so teams avoid re-keying and mismatched records.
Leave management: requests, approvals, accruals, and balance tracking
Configurable leave types and accrual rules handle eligibility and policy differences. Employees submit requests online and managers approve with live balance views. Balances sync instantly to avoid surprises at settlement.
Gratuity and final settlement
Final pay steps are policy-driven. The system captures last working day, prorations, encashed leave, and deductions, then runs formula-based calculations. A settlement statement is produced for review and payout, reducing disputes.
Time & attendance
Time is captured via web or mobile timesheets and enforced with rostering. Time interpretation applies overtime and shift differentials before export. Accurate time feeds billing and pay with fewer reconciliation tasks.
Employee self-service and managerial visibility
Staff access payslips, schedules, and history 24/7 and can correct timesheets or request leave. Supervisors monitor compliance, overtime exposure, and coverage to control labor cost and improve planning.
- Single-click posting of approved time and leave maintains a clear audit trail.
- Configurable alerts flag missing time, pending approvals, and balance thresholds.
- Integration options simplify connection to other Microsoft dynamics tools; see our HR-payroll integration for details.

Native integrations let your time and pay flows post once and move automatically into finance records. This reduces rekeying and speeds month-end close.
Integration with Business Central and Finance & Operations consolidates HR, payroll, and finance so transactions post once and flow into financial statements and reports.
Unified workflows from time capture to reporting
End-to-end workflows move from time interpretation to pay to cash to reporting. That eliminates duplicate entry and cuts reconciliation work.
Power BI, workflows, and automatic notifications
Power BI dashboards deliver real-time visibility into costs, overtime, accrual liabilities, and headcount. Automated notifications keep approvals moving and reduce bottlenecks.
Switching providers with minimal disruption
Import time worked, leave taken, and core employee information to accelerate cutover. This minimizes parallel processing windows and lowers project risk.
- Lower IT complexity: one Microsoft platform reduces brittle integrations and maintenance costs.
- Flexible mappings: earnings, deductions, and benefits map to chart of accounts and dimensions for better reporting quality.
- Audit-ready: standardized processes and trails support governance and audits.

Accuracy, compliance, and reporting that scale with your business
Scaling a business requires controls that enforce rules and produce trusted financial outputs.
Built-in rules and formula builder to support regulations and company policies
Policy-driven rules and a flexible formula builder handle complex calculations like overtime, shift differentials, encashments, and deductions. Rules map to local regulations and company policy so calculations repeat correctly across runs.
Every change is versioned and documented, which strengthens compliance and creates an audit trail for internal and external reviews.
Comprehensive reporting for finance, audits, and leadership
Standardized processes cut exceptions and speed close cycles. Finance-ready outputs include labor distribution, GL summaries, variance analysis, and accrual reports aligned to month-end and audit schedules.
- Executive dashboards synthesize pay, headcount, and cost trends for workforce planning.
- Shared visibility between teams reduces rework and builds trust in the numbers.
- Role-based access protects sensitive information so only authorized users can view or edit data.
“Accurate rules and clear reports turn compliance from a risk into a competitive advantage.”
