Automated greytHR Payroll Variance Scorecard

After each greytHR pay run, WebRun compares this month's payroll totals to last month by department, flags any variance beyond the normal range, exports the numbers to Google Sheets, and updates a Notion finance dashboard so unusual swings get reviewed quickly.

In short

How do I catch payroll variance in greytHR each month?

WebRun scores greytHR payroll variance after every run. It compares this month's totals to last month by department, flags anything beyond a 10 percent swing, exports the numbers to Google Sheets, and updates a Notion finance dashboard, so unusual payroll movement gets reviewed the same month it happens, not a quarter later.

  • Unusual payroll swings get flagged the same month, not a quarter later
  • Finance gets a dashboard instead of a manual greytHR comparison
  • Every month's totals are archived for trend tracking

Questions, answered

Does WebRun change payroll amounts?

No. It only reads completed payroll totals and compares them. Any correction always stays a manual step for the payroll admin inside greytHR.

What counts as a flagged variance?

Any department where this month's total payroll moved more than 10 percent from last month, in either direction.

Can finance see the trend across many months?

Yes. Google Sheets keeps every month's row, and the Notion dashboard shows the current variance against the trend line.
