For Payroll Admins
Pay runs without the re-keying.
Otto HR runs payroll from the data it already holds. Approved time off, records, and positions feed each pay run directly, so month-end is arithmetic, not archaeology.

Why Otto
Month-end without the scramble.
01
Data already in place
Employee records, positions, and approved time off live in the same system as payroll, with nothing to export or re-key.
02
Fewer month-end surprises
Upcoming pay runs sit on the dashboard, and leave is approved long before it reaches payroll, so surprises are caught early.
03
Self-serve balances
Employees see their own balances and policies in the portal, so "how many days do I have left?" stops arriving by email.
What's inside
Payroll that starts from the source.
Pay runs that start ready
Approved time off and current records feed each pay run automatically, so you review rather than reconstruct.

A portal that fields the questions
Employees check their balances, policies, and personal details themselves, which means fewer interruptions in payroll week.
