About This Automation

Teacher payroll at music schools involves exporting lesson records, looking up individual rates, calculating pay, and manually entering bank details into payment portals. Manual processes create errors, consume per pay cycle, and delay teacher confirmations.

Automation matches lessons to teacher rates, calculates gross and net pay, validates bank details, and submits payments directly to the payment processor. Teachers receive confirmations automatically and accounting records update in real time.

Key features
Match lesson records to teacher rates automatically and flag mismatches
Calculate gross pay, deductions, and net pay without manual spreadsheet entry
Validate and retrieve bank account details from your accounting system
Submit payroll batches directly to your payment processor
Send payment confirmations to teachers automatically
Create complete audit trail in accounting software

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Pay Cycle Date Arrivestrigger

Automation is triggered on the scheduled pay cycle date. The system checks that lesson records for the period are finalized.

2. Fetch Lesson Records

Automation queries the lesson booking system API and retrieves all lessons for the pay period, including teacher, duration, and student.

3. Calculate Pay

The automation matches each teacher to their current rate, calculates gross and net pay, and flags any anomalies (e.g., a teacher with zero hours).

4. Retrieve Bank Details

Automation pulls each teacher's bank account and routing number's contact records.

5. Initiate Transfers

Automation submits the payroll batch Connect, which initiates ACH transfers to each teacher's bank account.

6. Record

Automation creates a journal entry to log the payroll expense and link it transaction ID for reconciliation.

7. Notify Teachers via Email

Automation sends a personalized payment confirmation email to each teacher, including amount, date, and expected arrival.

8. Post Summary

Automation sends a summary message to the payroll channel confirming the batch was processed, total amount, and any exceptions.
