In short

What does ProEMS do for staff, leave and payroll?

ProEMS keeps the staff side of the institution in one place: staff records and teacher roles, staff attendance, leave with proxy teachers, and a monthly salary list built from attendance and approved leave.

The pieces feed each other: approved leave with a proxy updates the timetable, and the month's payroll reads staff attendance and approved leave when it works out each person's pay.

Staff records and staff attendance come with every plan from Silver. Leave and payroll are part of Platinum, and each card below says which plan it needs.

  • Staff profiles with roles, classes and subjects, experience and salary details
  • Leave applied on the web, checked against each person's balance
  • Proxy teachers per period, written into the timetable on approval
  • A monthly salary list from attendance and leave, exported to Excel

How it works

How does a month of leave and payroll run in ProEMS?

In six steps, from setting allowances to exporting the salary list. The leave and payroll steps need the Platinum plan.

  1. 1

    Set allowances and salary details

    On each staff profile, enter the days allowed for each leave type and the salary details. It's done once, then touched up at increments.
  2. 2

    Staff apply for leave

    A teacher applies on the web with the type, dates and reason, and suggests a substitute for each period. The request starts as pending and the leave managers get an email.
  3. 3

    Approve and assign proxies

    The manager approves or declines, and the teacher is emailed the decision. For approved leave, the manager confirms each proxy and the timetable updates.
  4. 4

    Create the month's payroll head

    At month end, create the payroll head. ProEMS adds a line for every active staff member from their salary details, days present and approved leave.
  5. 5

    Check, adjust and export

    Go through the payroll list, add deductions such as an advance, and export the month to Excel. On the 1st, every staff member gets an email with their leave balance.

Runs on its own

What runs on its own in the staff modules?

Two scheduled jobs keep the leave balances and the weekly attendance report current without anyone remembering them.

  • 1st, 07:00

    Leave balances are emailed

    Every active staff member gets a month-end email listing each leave type with the total allowed, the days used and the balance.

  • Mon 07:00

    Weekly staff attendance PDF

    The attendance managers and the principal get last week's attendance for each staff member, with days present and the percentage.

How does ProEMS work out monthly salaries?

ProEMS works out each person's pay for the month from the salary details on their profile, the days they were present and their approved leave. Leave types coded CL and PL count as paid days, and any other day away brings the gross down.

You then add deductions on the payroll list to reach net pay, and the totals recalculate as you edit. The finished month exports to Excel for your accountant.

How are proxy teachers assigned when someone is on leave?

The teacher suggests a substitute for each period they'll miss when applying, and the leave manager confirms or changes each one after approving. Saving the proxies puts them on the timetable for those periods.

If an approved leave is later declined, ProEMS gives the days back to the balance and takes the proxy periods off the timetable. Our timetable page covers how periods are set up in the first place.

How is leave checked against each person's balance?

Each staff member's allowance for every leave type is set on their profile, and a request for more days than they have left is refused when they apply. A request that overlaps one they've already made is refused too.

Approval adds the days to what's used and recalculates the balance. The same figures appear in the monthly email and in the staff leave status export.

Can staff apply for leave from the app?

No. Leave is applied for and approved on the web, from the staff login, and the decision arrives by email.

The staff app handles the classroom side instead: attendance marking, daily progress reports, news, study material and answering student questions.

Good to know

What should you know before running leave and payroll on ProEMS?

Four points, so nobody expects more from the module than it does.

Leave and payroll are Platinum
Staff records and staff attendance come from Silver. Leave, proxy teachers, salary details and payroll need the Platinum plan.
A salary list, not payslips
Payroll gives you the monthly list with earnings, deductions and net pay, and an Excel export. It doesn't print payslips or prepare statutory returns.
Attendance drives pay
Pay is pro-rated from staff attendance and approved leave, so complete the register for the month before you create the payroll head.
Leave is on the web
Staff apply and managers approve in the browser. The staff app doesn't handle leave.
