Compliance-Grade Payroll

Payroll built for
what the law
now requires.

bookd. doesn't just file payroll. Every run produces a SHA-256 locked audit pack — worker status, deductions, holiday entitlement, CIS verification — built automatically, before anyone asks for it.

What your current payroll does

Files RTI. Sends payslips. Marks the job done. It was built for an older set of rules, in a world where the liability stayed where it started.

  • No evidence pack if HMRC opens an enquiry
  • JSL liability travels up — your bureau doesn't stop it
  • Holiday pay flat-rated at 12.07% for variable hours workers
  • CIS subcontractor verification manually managed or skipped
  • No timestamped record of worker status decisions

What bookd. does on every run

Every payroll run is treated as a compliance audit. The payslip is the output. The evidence pack is the product.

  • SHA-256 locked audit pack built automatically on every run
  • JSL evidence trail protecting your position in the supply chain
  • 52-week rolling average calculated correctly for every variable-hours worker
  • CIS verification status recorded and evidenced per worker
  • Worker status decisions timestamped and immutable
Three Weapons

Everything your bureau
should have been doing.

Same payroll. Different level of protection. Built for the world that exists now, not the one from 2018.

WEAPON 02

The JSL Protection Layer

Under the Finance Act changes, unpaid tax liability travels up the supply chain. Agencies, contractors and umbrella operators are now in the frame. bookd. evidences every penny, every decision, every run.

→ JSL protection for agencies
WEAPON 03

FWA Automation

The Fair Work Agency launched April 2026. The 12.07% flat rate is wrong for variable pay workers. bookd. calculates the true 52-week rolling average and flags every discrepancy — automatically.

→ Holiday pay compliance
Who We Protect

One product.
Five doors.

The same compliance engine surfaces the risk that matters most to you.

The Audit Shield

Built for the tribunal.
Ready before you need it.

Most bureaus produce payslips. bookd. produces evidence. Every run is sealed with SHA-256 integrity verification — a tamper-evident record of every decision, deduction, and status call, to the penny, at the time it was made.

  • Worker status and HMRC verification recorded per run
  • Deductions evidenced to the penny with timestamp
  • Holiday pay method documented — rolling average, not flat rate
  • CIS verification chain maintained for every subcontractor
  • JSL supply chain evidence built automatically on every run
  • SHA-256 integrity lock — immutable, timestamped, exportable

⚠️
Fair Work Agency — Live April 2026

If your workers are on variable hours, your holiday pay is probably wrong.

The 52-week rolling average has been mandatory since 2020. Most bureaus still flat-rate at 12.07% because it's hard to automate. The FWA now has enforcement powers — and variable-hours workers in hospitality, agencies and construction are the first in the firing line.
