Embedded payroll means that payroll processing is built directly into a software platform, instead of happening in a separate system.

For your customers, payroll becomes a native feature of your platform, while all regulatory and technical complexity is handled invisibly in the background by Ason.

Ason is designed for platforms that want to offer payroll as a feature without building their own payroll software.

• Typical platforms include HR and workforce platforms, ERP and accounting systems, and industry‑specific solutions.

  
  

Ason is scalable - from a single payroll run to several thousand payslips - and supports multi‑tenant setups. This makes it an ideal white‑label solution for service providers such as:

• fiduciaries, payroll service providers, shared service centers, HR departments of large companies

  
  

If your platform manages employee data, working hours, or financial information, adding payroll is often the next logical step.

Ason is integrated into your platform through an API.

Your platform sends payroll‑relevant events - such as hires, working hours, or bonuses.

The Ason Engine automatically processes this information and generates payroll runs, notifications, and reports. For your users, payroll stays fully inside your platform.

No. The regulatory payroll logic is fully built into the Ason Engine. Your platform only needs to send events. The engine handles all calculations and processing.

Users do not need prior knowledge or learn manuals to run payroll. This means you can offer payroll without building your own payroll team.

Ason uses a simple, transparent usage‑based pricing model.

There are no base fees. Ason charges per active employee per month that is processed through the Payroll Engine.

You only pay for the actual usage of the payroll infrastructure. The higher the total number of payroll calculations, the lower the price per employee. For mid‑year onboarding, bringing past months up to date is free of charge.

Corrections (automatic retroactive recalculations) affecting previous periods are also processed at no additional cost.

Yes. With Ason Quickstart, the Payroll Engine is ready in just a few minutes so you can try it out locally:

Your product or development team can integrate the API locally, simulate payroll events, and fully understand how the engine works - independently and without any sales bla-bla.

Ason is built API‑first and designed for fast integration. Based on our experience, an integration can typically be completed within a few weeks. Ason provides both technical and payroll‑domain support throughout the process.

Since the entire payroll logic already exists inside the engine, the integration mainly focuses on connecting your platform’s data and designing the frontend experience.
