Runs the pay cycle so it is right, on time, and provable — the calendar and cutoffs, what feeds pay from the HRIS and time systems, gross-to-net and the deductions in it, multi-jurisdiction registration and tax filing, off-cycle payments and corrections, and the reconciliation to the general ledger. Use this to design or audit a payroll process, work out what happens when someone is paid wrong, or understand what changes when you hire in a new state or country.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Payroll operations Payroll is the process with the least tolerance for error and the least visibility until it breaks. Nobody notices it working; everybody notices a late or wrong payment, and trust recovers slowly. **Payroll tax registration, withholding and filing obligations vary by jurisdiction and change frequently. Get a qualified adviser or a provider who takes filing responsibility, and confirm where liability actually sits.** ## The calendar is the control Work backwards from the pay date: funding date, approval, processing cutoff, time-entry deadline, change deadline. Publish it, and treat the change deadline as real — the alternative is a correction cycle running permanently alongside the pay cycle. Bank holidays, month-end, and year-end all move cutoffs. A calendar that was right in January quietly stops being right, and the first sign is a late funding. ## Know what feeds pay, and make the HRIS the source Every input is a place errors enter: new hires and terminations, pay changes, hours from time systems, commissions and bonuses, expense reimbursements, benefit deductions, garnishments. …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/payroll-operations@sha256:8e62de6172362350The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.0e7cd01, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
