Rowanline runs payroll, onboarding, time off, and reviews for companies with 50 to 500 people — one login and one record per employee.
Rowanline keeps one record per employee, so pay, benefits, time off, and reviews all read the same start date, salary, and manager.

Onboarding
Offer to first day, in one checklist. Forms signed before Monday.
Time off
Requests a manager can approve in one tap. Balances update the same minute.
Reviews
Review cycles that end on the due date. Reminders go out for you.
Compensation
Pay bands everyone can read. Plan raises inside the budget you set.
Employees ask in plain words and get an answer drawn from your own handbook, pay history, and time-off policy — with a link to the page it came from.
If I take the Friday after Thanksgiving off, how many days will I have left for December?
You would have 5.5 days left:
The Friday is not a company holiday this year,
so it uses one day from your 6.5-day balance.
December accrual adds 1.25 days on Dec 1.
The jobs that fill a Friday afternoon — checklists, requests, 1:1 notes, pay stubs — handled where employees already look.

Time-off balance
Balances update the minute a request is approved, holidays included.
1:1 notes
Shared agendas that carry over, so no talking point gets dropped.
Pay stubs
Every stub and W-2 on the employee’s phone, not in an HR inbox.
How long does setup take?Switching · TimelineMost teams run a test payroll in the second week. We import your last four quarters of pay history, check it against your prior filings, and only then turn on live pay runs.
What does it cost?Pricing · Per employeePricing is per active employee each month. Contractors you pay through Rowanline count at half rate, and people on unpaid leave are not billed until they return to payroll.
Can we run payroll in several states?Payroll · Multi-stateYes. Remote employees are taxed by where they live and work, and Rowanline registers the state accounts you need when you add someone in a new state.
Who answers when we call?Support · HoursA payroll specialist from our Austin office, on weekdays from 7am to 7pm Central. On payday mornings the phone line opens at 6am.
How is employee data protected?Security · DataBank and tax fields are encrypted at rest, admins sign in with two-step login, and every change to pay data is written to an access log you can export.
Do we have to sign a yearly contract?Pricing · TermsNo. Plans are month to month. A yearly plan is offered for a lower rate, and you can export all records, stubs, and filings at any time.
Can managers see everyone’s pay?Permissions · RolesOnly if you allow it. Managers see time off and reviews for their own reports; salary and bank fields stay with the admins you choose.
What happens on our first payday?Switching · Go-liveYour specialist checks the pay run with you two business days before payday, and stays on the line until the bank confirms the deposits went out.
Link your bank, accounting ledger, time clocks, and single sign-on so hours, pay, and journal entries move without a spreadsheet in between.
