What People Ops owns in Fintra
People Ops keeps the employee record clean and makes sure it reaches the systems that pay and manage people. In Fintra, HR is the canonical source of truth for people and pushes into payroll, so you edit once and payroll follows.
| Job | Fintra surface |
|---|---|
| Own the employee record | HR as source of truth for people |
| Feed payroll | HR, then payroll sync (employees + timesheets) |
| Run comp cycles | Manager proposals, then HR adjust, then finalize |
| Manage time off | PTO accrual on approval, payout on check |
| See total comp | Unified base + bonus + benefits + equity view |
HR, then payroll, no double entry
When you add or change an employee, Fintra pushes the record into the payroll engine (matched by HR employee id); a termination syncs as a terminated payroll status. Timesheet hours can be pushed for a period so payroll drafts hourly earnings.
Comp cycles and PTO
People Ops workflows
- Adjust manager comp proposals to approved figures (HR-only)
- Finalize cycles to export approved changes to payroll
- PTO accrues when pay runs are approved
- PTO pays out via a taxable PTO_PAYOUT earning line
Honest scope
Questions people ask
Is HR or payroll the source of truth for employees?
HR. Fintra treats HR as canonical for people and pushes employee records into the payroll engine, so you maintain one record instead of two.
What happens when payroll is down?
The sync fails soft, it returns 0 synced with a reason rather than erroring, so HR screens keep working even if payroll is unreachable or unlicensed.
How does PTO connect to payroll?
PTO accrues when a pay run is approved and pays out through a taxable PTO_PAYOUT earning line, so time-off balances reach the paycheck.
Who can adjust comp proposals?
Only HR (and admin/owner) can set approved salary and bonus figures; managers propose for their people, and executives finalize.
