The problem
Payroll is a high-consequence workflow: calculations must be traceable, corrections must be explicit, and integrations should not make results ambiguous.
Design direction
Pagaar is being designed around clear domain boundaries for attendance, compensation, payroll runs, and employee records. Each payroll result is intended to be immutable so that corrections create an auditable new record rather than silently rewriting history.
What I am exploring
- Domain-driven boundaries for payroll and attendance
- PostgreSQL-backed transaction handling
- An auditable payroll-run lifecycle
- Integration-friendly APIs for downstream HR systems
Current status
This is an active backend architecture project. The page will evolve with implementation details, decisions, and test evidence as the system is built.
