The hours are already in the system
Employees clock in with the time clock and the manager approves the month. The run pulls the hours from there, with no retyping.

Payroll for businesses: from hours to payslip
Payroll in Lynxbe starts with the hours your employees report in the time clock, calculates gross and net with income tax, Bituach Leumi, health tax, pension and study fund, and produces a PDF payslip. Working with a payroll bureau? Send it an hours file in its own format. Filing with the authorities stays with you and your accountant.

What payroll includes
What is in Lynxbe payroll
A monthly payroll run with review, approval and lock, a PDF payslip, and files for your accountant and payroll bureau.
Monthly payroll run
Open a run for the month and the system pulls each employee's attendance hours and calculates gross, deductions and net from their payroll profile: monthly, hourly or daily. Every action is written to an audit log.
Digital Form 101
The employee gets a personal link by email that is valid for 7 days, fills it in on the phone and signs on screen, and a PDF with the credit-point calculation is saved. Credit points and tax coordination are entered in the employee's payroll profile.
PDF payslip
Each employee in the run gets a PDF payslip in the local layout: pay components, deductions, net and employer cost. Payslips are produced by users with the payroll permission; employees cannot download their own from the app yet.
Withholding summary for your accountant
From a locked run you get a monthly summary of income tax withheld, Bituach Leumi and health tax per employee and in total, to hand to your accountant. The system does not file reports with the Tax Authority or Bituach Leumi.
Hours file for your payroll bureau
Working with a payroll bureau or payroll software? Monthly attendance, work days, hours and overtime, export to a file in the Hilan, Michpal, Shiklulit or Oketz format, or to a generic Excel file.
Employer cost per employee
Employer Bituach Leumi, pension, severance and study fund, from the percentages in the employee profile, plus an employer cost report for the whole business.
Review, approve and lock
A run moves from draft to review, approval and lock. Until approval you can update the payroll profile and recalculate; after the lock the payslips are locked and cannot be changed.
Warnings before you close the month
Before and after the calculation the system flags an employee with no payroll profile, days with no attendance, a shift left open, pay below minimum wage, and pension that is missing or below the minimum. You can add an AI check.
Gross to net
What goes into the pay calculation
The numbers come from each employee's payroll profile and from the income tax, Bituach Leumi and health tax tables set in the system. Whoever approves payroll checks the result before paying.
Income tax
By tax brackets, credit points and tax coordination from the profile
Bituach Leumi and health tax
Reduced and full rate up to the ceiling, employee and employer share
Pension and severance
Employee, employer and severance rates from the employee profile
Study fund
Employee and employer rates from the employee profile
Overtime, nights and Shabbat
Two overtime tiers above 8.6 hours a day, plus night and Shabbat premiums
Sick days, vacation and allowances
Sick pay by day, vacation for hourly staff, travel, meals and phone

What is payroll
What payroll is, and which part the system does
Payroll is the whole pay process: collecting hours, calculating gross and net, deductions and contributions, the payslip, paying employees and reporting to the authorities.
Working with a payroll bureau
No need to replace it. Export an hours file in the Hilan, Michpal, Shiklulit or Oketz format, or Excel, and it takes it from there.
To workforce management →Running payroll yourself
A monthly run with gross-to-net and a PDF payslip. What stays outside the system: filing 102 and 126, Form 106 and a Masav bank file.
See it in a demo →Related modules: HR and employee records · Time tracking and time clock · Workforce and shifts · Invoices and receipts
The common ways to run payroll are a payroll bureau or accountant, payroll software (such as Hilan, Michpal or Shiklulit), Excel sent to the accountant, and international payroll (such as Deel or Rippling). The comparison is by type of tool, not by a specific tool; where it says "depends on the tool", check with the vendor.
| Topic | Payroll bureau or accountant | Payroll software (Hilan, Michpal) | Excel and an accountant | International payroll (Deel, Rippling) | Lynxbe |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Collecting hours | Gets a file from you | Depends on the tool | Typed by hand | Depends on the tool | From the time clock in the same system |
| Gross-to-net calculation | The bureau calculates | That is what the software is for | Hand-built formulas | Depends on the tool and the country | Yes, for review before approval |
| Payslip | Yes | Yes | A manual template | Depends on the tool | PDF in the local layout |
| Reports 102, 126 and 106 | Usually part of the service | Depends on the tool | Done by the accountant | Depends on the tool | Monthly summary and a 126 draft for review; no filing and no 106 |
| Masav bank file | Depends on the service | Depends on the tool | Manual | Depends on the tool | No; net amounts are on the payslips |
| Working with an existing bureau | That is the bureau itself | Depends on the tool | You send the file | Depends on the tool | Hours file for Hilan, Michpal, Shiklulit, Oketz or Excel |
| Payslip the employee downloads | Depends on the service | Depends on the tool | Sent by hand by email | Depends on the tool | Not yet |
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this module
What is payroll?
Payroll is the whole pay process in a business: collecting working hours, calculating gross and net, withholding income tax, Bituach Leumi and health tax, pension and study fund contributions, producing the payslip, paying employees and reporting to the authorities. In Lynxbe, collecting hours, the calculation and the payslip happen in the system; reporting to the authorities and paying through the bank stay with you and your accountant.
What does Lynxbe payroll include?
A monthly payroll run that pulls hours from the time clock, gross-to-net per each employee's payroll profile, a PDF payslip, employer cost, warnings before you close the month, review, approval and lock, a monthly withholding summary for your accountant, a digital Form 101, and an hours file for Hilan, Michpal, Shiklulit, Oketz or Excel.
Can I produce a payslip online in the system?
Yes. After you calculate the run, you download a PDF payslip for each employee from the browser or the app, in the local payslip layout. Payslips are produced by users with the payroll permission; employees cannot download their own yet. The amounts are the system's calculation, and your accountant should check them before you pay.
Does the system report to the Tax Authority and Bituach Leumi?
No. From a locked run you get a monthly summary of tax withheld, Bituach Leumi and health tax, and there is an annual Form 126 draft for your accountant to review, but the system does not file a 102 report, Form 126 or any other report, and does not produce Form 106. Filing is done by you or your accountant.
Can I keep working with Hilan or an existing payroll bureau?
Yes, by export: monthly attendance, work days, hours and overtime, go out to a file in the Hilan, Michpal, Shiklulit or Oketz format, or to a generic Excel file, and your payroll bureau takes it from there. There is no automatic two-way sync with payroll software.
Payroll services: is Lynxbe a payroll bureau?
No. Lynxbe is software, not a service. We have no payroll clerk who calculates, checks or files payroll for you. A business that wants a full payroll service keeps working with a payroll bureau or accountant and sends them the hours file from the system.
Is there a Masav file for paying salaries through the bank?
No. The system does not produce a Masav file the bank accepts. Transfers to employees are prepared in the bank or by your accountant from the net amounts on the payslips, and pension fund deposits are also made outside the system.
Are overtime, night and Shabbat hours calculated automatically?
Yes, in the payroll run: each day's hours come from the time clock, and above 8.6 hours a day they are priced as overtime in two tiers. A night premium applies to a shift that started between 21:00 and 06:00, and a Shabbat premium to a shift that started on Saturday. If your employment agreement has different rules, check the payslip against it before approval.
