Your crew clocks in on their phones; Graftum works out the days, hours and overtime, takes off CIS at each person's rate, adds their receipts back, and gives you payslips and a bank file. No more Friday-night spreadsheets.
✓ Hours come from the crew's own Start / End day, checked by the office. The pay run builds itself from the approved week.
✓ Each person's CIS status is on their record — 20% verified, 30% unverified or gross — and the deduction is calculated on every line.
✓ Workers snap the receipt in the app, the office approves it, it lands on the job's costs and is paid back on the next pay run.
Days and hours from the crew's clock-ins, with forgotten days added for approval and the week confirmed by each worker.
Day rate (a full day from 6 hours, half a day from 3.5) or hourly rate, per person. Each person can have their own paid day length.
Overtime set at the end of the day or worked out past the paid day; overtime rate per person or per job; Saturday and Sunday multipliers.
Per-person CIS status — 20%, 30% or gross — with the deduction shown on every line and on the payslip.
Add bonuses, advances or deductions; approved receipts are added back automatically.
Approve the run, then lock paid weeks (one setting) so nobody changes a week that's already been paid.
A payslip for every person: days worked, gross pay, the CIS deduction at their rate and the net amount.
A CSV with names, sort codes, account numbers and amounts, ready for your bank's bulk payment upload.
Each worker sees this week's days and estimated pay on their phone — fewer "how much am I getting?" calls.
Graftum's pay run was built with a UK electrical contractor paying a growing crew every week under CIS — the same rules, the same Friday deadline. Labour from the pay run also flows into each job's real cost, so you see the margin while the job is still running.
No card. Then £3–£9 a month per company, not per person until the end of your first year — and a permanent founders' discount after that. Everything on this page is included; nothing to bolt on.
Create your company →If you're the subcontractor, your invoice has to show labour and materials apart, because CIS is only deducted from the labour. Graftum makes the invoice from the job with the CIS deduction and VAT reverse charge shown, so the main contractor's payment matches it.
If you pay subcontractors, the weekly pay run applies each person's CIS rate and gives you the totals for the monthly return.
Yes. Graftum creates invoices from your jobs with labour and materials separate, the CIS deduction calculated on the labour, and VAT reverse charge where it applies.
No. Graftum gives you the figures per subcontractor — gross, CIS deducted and net — for you or your accountant to file the monthly return with HMRC.
Yes. Each person has their own day rate or hourly rate, their own overtime rate and, if needed, their own paid day length.
Set their CIS status to gross on their record and no deduction is taken; verified is 20% and unverified 30%.
No — Graftum is built for subcontractors paid under CIS. For PAYE employees keep your payroll provider; you can still use Graftum for their timesheets.
From the workers' own clock-ins in the Graftum app, approved by the office. You can also add or correct entries on the office side.
It's part of Graftum: first 3 months completely free, no card, then £3–£9 a month per company in the founding year.
