PayrollManager v0.1.0 (preview)

Preview build of PayrollManager for Windows (x64). Built from PR #3 (printable / PDF pay stubs), which includes the full app: Employees, Company Settings, Pay Runs, Dashboard, Reports, Audit Log, and pay stubs — on the Illinois-correct payroll engine (IRS Pub 15-T + IL-700-T).

Download

Pick one:

File	Installer type
PayrollManager_0.1.0_x64_en-US.msi	Windows Installer (MSI) — good for managed/enterprise installs
PayrollManager_0.1.0_x64-setup.exe	NSIS setup — the simpler double-click installer

Windows 10/11, 64-bit only. WebView2 installs automatically if it isn't already present.

Heads-up when you run it

• This installer is unsigned. Windows SmartScreen will show "Windows protected your PC." Click More info → Run anyway to proceed. (Signing needs a paid code-signing certificate, which isn't set up here.)
• The .NET payroll backend is bundled inside — no separate install needed.
• Your data lives at %LOCALAPPDATA%\com.payrollmanager.desktop\payroll.db and never leaves your machine.

Status

This is a preview, not a production release. It makes the payroll math correct (federal + Illinois withholding, FICA, FLSA overtime, employer taxes) but is not a compliance solution — it does not file 941/940/W-2 or handle multi-state payroll, and SSNs are encrypted with Windows DPAPI (tied to your Windows user/machine). Use it accordingly.
