HR software

Payroll software: our partner or your system.

For payroll accounting we work with edlohn, the payroll software of our partner Eurodata – cut to payroll for small and mid-sized companies. If you already work in another system, we run payroll in it, or find a different payroll system that suits you.

Two system routes

A strong partner. Your system as an option.

For payroll we work with edlohn, the accounting software from Eurodata – cut to what mid-sized companies actually need. For most of our clients the most direct route.

Equally, we run payroll in your existing system, or find a new one with you that fits how you pay. The support from our HR specialists stays the same either way.

  1. edlohn – payroll software for good reason

    The payroll software of our specialist software partner Eurodata. Cloud-based, hosted on German servers, with certified interfaces for electronic data transmission.

    • Fits when you do not want to run a payroll licence of your own
    • Predefined wage types including construction payroll
    • Updates, maintenance and personal system advice included
  2. System-agnostic – because your reasons may differ

    If edlohn is not the right choice, we work in another system: in your existing one, for example DATEV (Lohn und Gehalt / LODAS), Addison or SAP – or in an entirely different one where that is the better fit. We are not tied to a product.

    • Fits when edlohn is not the right system
    • Your existing system – or another one that fits better
    • In an existing system without data migration or new accounts

Which route fits is decided by your infrastructure – not by our catalogue. We look at wage types, interfaces and reporting, and tell you what we recommend.

Scope of functions

From the wage type to the statutory report.

The core areas of modern payroll accounting are covered. Additional functions are added as individual needs require.

Payroll run

Gross and net, for hourly pay and fixed salary.

Payroll accounting from gross pay to net payment – for hourly paid and salaried staff alike. Recurring processes run largely automatically, which saves time and keeps payroll on schedule.

In the payroll run

  • Gross and net calculation
  • Automatic contribution estimate
  • Dual control on every entry
Wage types

One catalogue – and your special cases.

Predefined wage types cover the standard, including construction payroll. Your own wage types, collective agreements and special cases are set up in addition: the payroll follows your company, not a package.

Wage types

  • Predefined catalogue
  • Construction payroll included
  • Your own wage types and agreements
Statutory reporting

Certified interfaces into the reporting procedure.

Electronic data transmission in the statutory reporting procedure runs through certified interfaces. The software is DEÜV/ITSG-certified – the health insurance funds check it through continuous quality controls.

Reporting paths

  • Electronic data transmission
  • DEÜV/ITSG-certified
  • Continuously checked by the insurance funds
Absences & special cases

Absences, short-time work, corrections.

Absences, holiday and other time away are managed and linked to the payroll run. Short-time work allowance and capital-forming payments are part of the scope; recoveries and corrections are covered as standard.

Managed

  • Absences and holiday
  • Short-time work allowance
  • Capital-forming payments
  • Recoveries and corrections
Data & filing

A digital personnel file instead of stacks of folders.

Connected filing with a digital personnel file puts an end to searching through paper and inboxes. Together with the HR cloud, the employee portal and communication platform come on top.

Filing

  • Digital personnel file
  • Connected filing
  • Connects to the HR cloud

Two operating models

And who runs the payroll?

The system route settles where payroll is run – the operating model settles who runs it. The software stays the same in both cases.

Security & data protection

Your data – securely hosted in Germany.

We rely exclusively on certified partners and operate the cloud in German data centres – following BSI-Grundschutz and ISO 27001.

  • BSI-Grundschutzsecurity standard

Fewer errors, less rework.

Where personnel files are kept on paper at some effort, errors creep in whose correction costs time and money. Connected filing and a digital personnel file put an end to the searching – additional functions are added as individual needs require.

You decide whether you use the software as a hosting service or want the additional HR compliance that comes with our outsourcing services for payroll accounting.

The software is our tool – not our answer.

Software supports, people take responsibility: behind every payroll run at PAROGO stand HR specialists who check entries under dual control. If you are only looking for a tool, you get the hosting – if you want to hand over responsibility, you get payroll outsourcing.

From the client's side

When the system has to fit the company.

„At the large provider we had no dedicated contact – with nothing agreed, corrections kept coming back. Today one dedicated person knows our wage types, and every payroll run is checked under dual control before it goes out."
Deceuninck
„We had outgrown our tax adviser: our individual calculation cases needed a specialist provider. PAROGO handles exactly those cases – and stays personally reachable while doing it."
Physiotherapie Wellmann
„The move ran alongside our current payroll – without a single payroll run being missed. Today a dedicated contact answers our questions before they turn into problems."

Frequent questions

What you want to know about the software.

Who operates the software – you or we?
You decide that through the operating model: with the hosting service payroll stays entirely in your hands, and we provide software, servers and a personal system adviser. In full BPO we take on all payroll accounting processes – the software stays the same.
What is edlohn?
edlohn is the payroll software of our specialist software partner Eurodata. It is what our payroll operation runs on: cloud-based, hosted on German servers, DEÜV/ITSG-certified and with certified interfaces for electronic data transmission. If you prefer to stay in your own system, we continue system-agnostically – both routes are set out above under two system routes. Payroll documents are filed from there in a structured way in the digital personnel file of the HR cloud.
Which systems does PAROGO work with?
With edlohn from our software partner Eurodata – or system-agnostically in a system of your choice, for example DATEV (Lohn und Gehalt / LODAS), Addison, SAP and others, including certified interfaces for electronic data transmission. Which route fits when is set out above under two system routes; how the personnel file, employee portal and communication connect to it is shown by the HR cloud.
Do we have to change systems to work with PAROGO?
No. If you stay in your existing system, we work in it – without data migration and without new user accounts. Moving to edlohn is an option, not a condition. And if a third system is the better choice, that works too: we are not tied to a product.
How does a system change work if we want one?
Your contact works through master data and the most recent payroll runs, alongside your current payroll. Depending on size and complexity we run one or more parallel payroll runs beforehand and reconcile until the results match. Only then does operation pass to us.
Does the software cover construction payroll?
Yes. The predefined wage types include construction payroll – alongside gross and net pay, a core area we cover reliably.
What happens to our own wage types and special cases?
We map them. Alongside the predefined catalogue we set up your wage types, collective agreements and special cases – the payroll follows your company, not a package. That applies on edlohn as it does on the system-agnostic route.
Where do the software and the data run?
On edlohn on German servers; archiving takes place in a data centre certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 22301. On the system-agnostic route, data and archive sit wherever your system is operated – we make sure the security infrastructure is equivalent. Details on Data protection in HR.
