Payroll Without the Spreadsheet
Pool Founder now includes payroll configuration and summary tools. Set hourly pay rates for each employee, define your pay period schedule, and generate payroll summaries based on actual hours tracked on routes. No more exporting to spreadsheets or manually calculating hours.
Configure Pay Rates Per Employee
Each employee profile now includes pay rate settings. Set hourly rates that are used across the system for profitability calculations and payroll summaries. Pay rates are effective-dated so historical profitability remains accurate when you give raises.
Pay Period Configuration
Define your pay period schedule under company settings. Choose your work week start day and pay period cadence. Payroll summaries are automatically grouped by your configured pay periods.
Payroll Summaries
The new Payroll page shows hours worked per employee for each pay period, calculated from actual route time tracking data. See total hours, driving time, on-site time, and the resulting pay amount for each technician.
Payroll summaries are based on time tracked through route sessions. Make sure your technicians start and end their routes in the app for accurate data.

Does Pool Founder process payroll directly?
Pool Founder generates payroll summaries based on tracked hours and configured pay rates. It does not process payroll directly or handle tax withholding. Use the summaries to input into your payroll provider like Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, or ADP.
What happens to profitability calculations when I change a pay rate?
Pay rates are effective-dated. When you update an employee's rate, historical profitability calculations continue using the rate that was active at the time of each job. Only future jobs use the new rate.
