Payroll and Finance Portals

Payroll and Finance are separate surfaces but both consume timesheet, expense, allowance, award, report, invoice, and Xero data.

Payroll

Portal/PayrollController.php is rooted at /payroll and handles:

• dashboard
• timesheets
• employee week review
• pay summaries and PDFs
• payslips
• expenses
• weekly reports and export
• timesheet/time-entry approval and rejection
• bulk approvals and rejections
• payroll finance views

Payroll is a major read/review/approval surface. It does not get broad timesheet edit rights through TimesheetEditPolicy.

Payroll finance

PayrollFinanceController handles finance-matrix style operations for payroll users, including rate/event/ordinary-hours/public-holiday management where available.

Client finance

Portal/FinanceController.php is rooted at /finance and handles:

• invoice list and detail
• mock invoice preview and PDF
• invoice approve/reject/export/PDF
• finance cost-code updates
• weekly reports
• finance timesheet review/detail

Finance is where award bill totals, allowance lines, material lines, expense lines, and invoice/PDF outputs become visible together.
