Payroll cash
enough on the right account by payday
Your payroll system keeps running payroll. Orla reads its pay dates and totals, keeps the payroll account funded days ahead, and pays contractors in the same month. A short payday shows up a week early, not on the morning.
Pay dates
Payday on the calendar
read from the system you keep

- Payroll account today
- $31,000
- Short by
- $11,000
- From your payroll system
- Pay dates and totals come from the payroll or HR system you already run, read only.
- Or set by hand
- A monthly payroll plan on the calendar works the same, with no system connected.
Funded ahead

from your own accounts

- A sweep, not a scramble
- The plan moves money from your own accounts to the payroll account days before payday, inside the mandate, and a larger sum waits for your press.
- A warning first
- The low balance alert names the day the payroll account would fall short.
Contractors
Contractors too
one signature for the total

- Rows
- 6
- Funded
- 4 of 6
- The rest
- After a top-up
- Prepared every month
- A template prepares the contractors' batch on its day.
- As far as the money reaches
- A partly funded run pays down the list. The rest go out after a top-up, with no new signatures.
On autopilot
What goes by itself
and what still waits for you
Goes by itself
- A bill or a payout inside its budget in the mandate
- From Revolut Business, Airwallex, PayPal or the account inside Orla
- An agent's card or API spend inside its cap
Waits for you
- A new payee, and bank details that changed
- Anything past a budget or a limit
- Every payment from Mercury, Slash, a Safe or a wallet you sign
The brakes above both
- $2,000 a payment and $10,000 a day until you change them
- Loosening a limit waits 24 to 72 hours
- One pause stops every payment at once
Questions
About payroll cash
the short answers
Does Orla run payroll?
No. Your payroll system runs it and files the taxes. Orla keeps the money ready and pays contractors.
Which payroll systems?
Any with an API, connected by its own sign-in, read only.
What if payday is short anyway?
You get one card with every lever days ahead: sweep, move a bill later, or chase a client who owes.
