The AI finance team for payroll managers
Volca calculates every commission from your pay plans and flags what's off. Overpayments stop before payroll runs, and you review exceptions instead of rebuilding spreadsheets.

Sound familiar?
Every pay period starts with exports
Jobs and hours come out of the CRM and timesheets, and commissions get rebuilt in spreadsheets, tech by tech.
One wrong cell is an overpayment
A missed helper split or a spiff counted twice goes out on the check, and nobody finds it until later, if ever.
Every pay question lands on you
When a tech questions a check, someone digs back through jobs and spreadsheets to find where the number came from.
Stop overpayments before checks go out. Every pay period.
Every overpayment you stop is margin that stays in the business. Volca puts those decisions in front of you before payroll runs.

FAQs
Don't see your question? Talk to us and we'll walk through anything specific to your shops.
Does Volca replace my payroll provider?
No. Your payroll provider still cuts the checks and files taxes. Volca does the work before that step: it calculates what each employee earned, catches errors, collects approvals, and hands your provider a clean file.
How does onboarding work?
You walk us through how you run payroll today, or record a session, and share your pay plan documents, offer letters, and spiff sheets. Our engineers build your engine from that and run it against a real pay period, so you can check Volca's numbers against your own before you rely on them.
What is a Pay Pack?
A personal pay report each employee gets before payroll runs. It breaks their check down job by job: hourly, overtime, commissions, spiffs, and gross margin, so every dollar is explained.
How do pay disputes work?
Every employee gets a Pay Pack that breaks their check down job by job. If a line looks wrong, they dispute that line before payroll runs. The dispute lands in a ticketing queue for your back office with the exact job and amount called out, so nobody has to hunt for it.
