Wages, allotments and owner statements that reconcile
Crew payroll is not office payroll with a different calendar. Rank, nationality, CBA, overtime codes, leave wages, seniority and family allotments all move at once, often across three currencies in a single month.
What was breaking
A month could contain contract articles, overtime captured at sea, leave wages, seniority and family allotments in a second currency. Each principal wanted a statement in its own shape. Masters built wages on board, often offline; the agency adjusted the same period from a different file. There was no clean carry forward into the next month and no ledger an owner could audit without a reconstruction from email.
In the box
- CBA and principal aware wage articles held as contract logic, frozen at onboarding
- Onboard wage entry by the Master, with ordered offline to online replay
- Automatic transfer of open wage balances into the next month
- Multi-currency ledger: earn, allot and settle without informal rate notes
- Owner statements and manning invoices from the same ledger as the payslip
- Every adjustment carries a reason, an actor and a timestamp
What changed for the operator
Impact is stated in operational terms: what stopped happening, what became visible, and what the desk or the Master could do without a link.
One ledger per seafarer
Payslip, owner statement and agency invoice no longer disagree because they are no longer built in three places.
Works as the manning office
Multiple principals and CBAs share the platform without a separate payroll workbook per owner.
Offline does not mean late
Wage sheets raised at sea post in order when the vessel reconnects. Nothing is re-keyed.
Clean month end
Balances roll forward. Close is a review of exceptions, not a rebuild of the month.
Offline behaviour. Earnings, overtime and deductions raised by the Master queue on the vessel and replay in order when the link returns, with conflict rules instead of silent overwrites of shore edits.
Questions we are asked
Can one agency run several principals with different CBAs?
Yes. Wage articles follow the contract and the principal, so a single desk serves multiple owners from one platform.
How are allotments handled across currencies?
Earn, allot and settle sit on one multi-currency ledger, so a family allotment in a second currency does not depend on an informal rate note.
Is the ledger auditable?
Every adjustment records a reason, an actor and a timestamp, and owner statements draw from the same ledger as the payslip.
