Built for Philippine SMEs
Why Quenta fits small and medium-sized Philippine businesses.
Small and medium-sized businesses in the Philippines rarely have a large payroll department. Payroll is often handled by an owner, an office manager or a small finance team, on top of everything else they do. At the same time, Philippine payroll carries real statutory obligations that do not get smaller because the business is small.
Quenta Payroll is built for that reality. It prepares SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and BIR withholding on compensation as part of each run, tracks 13th month pay through the year, and keeps DTR and payslips in one place, so a small team can run payroll with confidence. Because payroll posts to the same reviewed books as the rest of your accounting, SMEs get one connected financial picture instead of a payroll silo someone has to reconcile later. See how it fits with cloud accounting and payroll software for the Philippines.
Philippine payroll compliance
SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, withholding, 13th month, DTR and payslips, prepared as you run.
Philippine payroll is not just computing net pay. It is the statutory contributions, the withholding tax on compensation, 13th month pay, and the daily time records and payslips behind them. Quenta prepares these as part of the payroll process, for you to review before anything is released.
SSS
Employee and employer SSS contributions computed as part of each payroll run.
PhilHealth
PhilHealth contributions prepared alongside the rest of the deductions.
Pag-IBIG
Pag-IBIG contributions handled within the same run.
Withholding tax on compensation
BIR withholding tax on compensation computed with the rest of the payroll.
13th month pay
13th month pay tracked through the year from actual basic pay.
DTR
Daily time records captured and tied to the payroll computation.
Payslips
Payslips generated for each period for employees to receive.
Statutory computations are prepared for you to review and confirm before release. Quenta helps you run payroll accurately and keep the supporting records together; it does not remove your responsibility to review and file.
Employee Self-Service
Employee Self-Service, included.
Payroll is not only about the payroll run. It is also about the everyday questions employees ask afterward. Quenta includes Employee Self-Service so your people can see their own pay information without going through HR for every request.
Through Employee Self-Service, employees can:
- • View their own payslips for each payroll period
- • See their pay details, earnings and deductions for the period
- • Check their own attendance and DTR records
- • Confirm their own time records when their approver asks them to review
Access is controlled by the employer, and each employee sees only their own information. Employee Self-Service reduces repeated requests for payslip copies and pay details, and gives employees a clear, direct view of their own payroll information. For the people who run payroll, that means fewer interruptions and a payroll process that stays under employer review from computation to release.
Use cases
Built for businesses where work moves around.
Not every business has all its people in one office on one fixed schedule. Quenta Payroll is built for the flexible, field, project-based and contractual work common across Philippine industries. The use cases below all run on those same live capabilities, not on separate industry-specific modules.
Field teams
Teams working away from a central office, on client sites or across areas. Attendance is captured and tied to real payroll, so field work is paid on accurate time.
Engineering businesses
Engineering firms often mix office staff, site-based engineers and project or contractual roles. Quenta runs payroll across those arrangements using flexible attendance, fieldwork and project-based support.
Construction businesses
Construction teams move between sites and projects and are often engaged on a project or contractual basis. Quenta handles their payroll through flexible attendance, fieldwork and contractual support, with employer review before each run.
Service companies with distributed teams
Service businesses with people spread across clients, branches or projects can align pay to how and where the work actually happens, rather than forcing everyone into one fixed schedule.
A note on scope. Engineering and construction are use cases for Quenta's live flexible, field, project-based and contractual payroll, not separate specialized products. Quenta does not currently provide construction job costing, GPS or geofencing, automatic labor allocation to project profitability, crew or equipment scheduling, or construction-specific certified payroll.

FAQ
Payroll software for the Philippines, answered.
What is the best payroll software for Philippine SMEs?
There is no single best payroll software for every business, because the right fit depends on your team, your pay rules and how your people actually work. For many Philippine SMEs, Quenta Payroll is a strong fit because it prepares SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and BIR withholding on compensation, computes 13th month pay, supports DTR and payslips, and works for flexible, field, project-based and contractual arrangements, all connected to the same reviewed accounting environment. The most reliable approach is to match a payroll system to how your business runs, then confirm the fit in practice. Quenta's core platform has a 7-day free trial; Quenta Payroll is a paid add-on billed separately.
Does Quenta calculate SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and BIR withholding?
Yes. Quenta Payroll computes SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG contributions and BIR withholding tax on compensation as part of each payroll run, so statutory deductions are prepared alongside the rest of the computation for you to review before release.
Does Quenta handle 13th month pay?
Yes. Quenta tracks 13th month pay through the year rather than leaving it as a December scramble, so the amount builds from actual basic pay as payroll runs are processed.
Can Quenta handle field employees?
Yes. Quenta Payroll is built for field and on-site work. Attendance for field staff can be captured and tied to real payroll, so businesses with people working away from a single office can still run payroll on accurate time.
Can Quenta handle project-based employees?
Yes. Quenta supports project-based and deployment-based work, so pay can be aligned to projects, milestones and assignments rather than assuming everyone works one fixed schedule in one place.
Can Quenta handle contractual employees?
Yes. Quenta Payroll handles contractual and fixed-term arrangements, so businesses that hire on contracts or for specific periods can process their payroll and statutory deductions cleanly.
Does Quenta have Employee Self-Service?
Yes. Quenta includes Employee Self-Service, where employees can view their own payslips and pay details and see their own attendance records, with the employer controlling access. This reduces repeated requests to HR and payroll for copies and details.
Is Quenta suitable for engineering companies?
Engineering businesses often have staff split across offices, client sites and projects, with a mix of regular, project-based and contractual roles. Quenta Payroll supports those arrangements through its flexible attendance, fieldwork, project-based and contractual capabilities. These are ways to run payroll for how engineering teams actually work, not a separate engineering-specific payroll module.
Is Quenta suitable for construction companies?
Construction businesses often pay workers who move between sites and projects and who may be engaged on a project or contractual basis. Quenta Payroll can handle this through flexible attendance, fieldwork, project-based and contractual support, with employer review and approval before each run. Quenta does not provide construction-specific features such as job costing, geofencing or certified payroll; it handles construction payroll as a business use case for its live flexible and field capabilities.
Does Quenta payroll connect to accounting?
Yes. Payroll in Quenta posts to the same reviewed books as the rest of your finances, so payroll expense and related liabilities appear in your accounting without a separate export and re-import step.
