Payroll gets harder when the records are everywhere.

Headcount lives in a spreadsheet, approvals in a group chat, and 201 files in a drawer. Records go missing between them, usually before cutoff.

The spreadsheet

The source of truth is a file called payroll-final-FINAL.xlsx. One overwritten formula can take Friday night with it.

The cutoff

Approvals arrive by Viber, time-outs by screenshot. By the time everything is reconciled, the cutoff has already passed.

The 201 file

Contracts, government IDs and a scan called final-final-2.pdf live in someone’s Downloads folder. Nobody is quite sure whose.

Keen keeps the people records, the hours and the approvals together, so you do not rebuild the week whenever payroll comes around.

A 201 file that stays together

Attendance, leave, payroll and year-end forms all read from the 201 file. If the record is right, the rest is easier.

  • The 201 file, without the filing cabinet

    Personal and contact details, emergency contacts, government IDs, bank account, contracts and documents live together, per person.

  • Changes stay on the record

    Compensation changes and document versions stay with the person, so “when did this change?” has an answer.

  • People update their own details

    Employees can correct their contact and bank information through the portal. Sensitive fields stay protected.

  • Visibly sensitive, properly hidden

    Government IDs and bank accounts are encrypted, partly masked in the portal, and limited by role.

  • Browser clock-in on desktop and phone

    People clock in from a laptop or their own phone. A mobile app is coming soon.

  • Schedules that match real life

    Fixed, shifting and overnight schedules, with rest days and holidays set per day where you need them.

  • Keen does the math

    Late, undertime, overtime and night differential come from the clock records and the schedule, so nobody works them out by hand.

  • Bring the biometrics

    Keep your existing biometric device. Export its records and import the CSV; browser clock-ins land in the same place.

Leave balances people can see

A leave balance should not require a meeting. Keen shows it to the employee, routes the request, and leaves payroll with a tidy record.

  • Balances in the portal

    Vacation, sick and service incentive leave, with the running balance visible in the portal instead of living in an HR reply.

  • The statutory types, ready

    Maternity, paternity, solo parent and bereavement leave can be turned on with your company’s rules and documents.

  • Requests with a paper trail

    People file leave from self-service. It routes to the right approver, updates the balance and leaves a record behind.

  • One queue, one decision at a time

    Leave, overtime, shift changes and profile requests arrive together, with enough context to say yes or no without opening five other screens.

  • Send requests to the right approver

    Set approvers per employee, so requests go to the person who knows the team, not whoever is online at 9 p.m.

  • Expense claims Coming soon

    Filing, claims and reimbursements will use the same inbox when they ship, after the beta.

Everyone signs in to the same portal

Every workspace carries your company’s name and logo.

Ask your HR data a plain question

Ask Keen is an AI assistant for employees and a reporting shortcut for HR. It works from the records in your workspace, so the answer is about your team.

For employees

Ask about your own leave balance, payslip details or a company policy, in the same place you already check them.

For HR

Ask for the report you need in words: late arrivals by department, leave taken by type, headcount by team. Keen builds it from the records you already keep.

Still your data

Ask Keen reads only the records the person asking is allowed to see.

    SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG computed each run against current tables.

  • Withholding tax

    BIR withholding applied from the current tables, including 13th month treatment.

  • Every kind of pay

    Overtime, night differential, holiday and rest-day rates, per day.

  • BIR 2316

    Year-end forms with tax adjustment, generated from the same records you paid from.

  • Bank payroll files

    A clean file for your bank upload, ready after the run.

  • Government reports

    Monthly SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and BIR reports, including 1604-C alphalist and DOLE 13th-month.

  • Loan deductions

    SSS and Pag-IBIG loan deductions carried through the run and reported.

  • Payslips

    Published in the portal, plus branded PDFs with your logo.

  • A run you control

Set up in an afternoon

There is no implementation project and no consultant with a slide deck. Add your company, add your people, set the schedule, and run payroll.

  1. Set up your company

    Company details, logo and pay schedule in your Keen workspace. One workspace, kept separate from every other company.

  2. Add your people

    Import or enter records, government IDs and bank details. Invite the team when you are ready, not before.

  3. Set schedules and leave

    Shifts, holidays, leave types and approvers. Keep it simple, or add detail where your company needs it.

  4. Run payroll

    Review the draft, settle adjustments, lock the run and release payslips to the portal.

Already have spreadsheets and a biometric device? Start with one pay period, then bring the rest across. We will help you plan a sensible cutover.

Boring where it counts

Salary data and government IDs deserve more than good intentions. Keen encrypts them, masks them and limits who can see them.

Your own workspace

Every company gets an isolated workspace. One company’s records are never mixed with another’s.

Encrypted, then masked

Bank accounts and government IDs are encrypted at rest, and shown only partly in the portal.

A history of changes

Sensitive changes keep an audit history: what changed, who changed it, and when.

A second step in

Two-factor sign-in with one-time codes helps keep the wrong person out of the right account.

Roles and permissions decide who sees what. Your company’s records are never shared with another company’s workspace.

Questions worth asking

Straight answers, including the ones about money and timing.

Still wondering about something? Ask us directly.

When can I actually use Keen?

We are opening a closed beta in Q1 2027, invite only. Join the waitlist and we will send an invite when your workspace is ready. We are onboarding in small groups so nobody’s first payroll is a test run.

What will it cost?

Pricing comes with the closed beta in Q1 2027. It will be one per-employee plan with every feature included, and waitlist members will see it first.

Is Keen only for Philippine companies?

Keen is built around Philippine employment rules: SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, BIR withholding, 13th month, local holidays and cutoffs. It is for companies employing people in the Philippines.

Who owns our employee data?

Your company does. Each workspace is isolated from every other company, and we process employee data on your behalf under the Philippine Data Privacy Act. Sensitive fields are encrypted at rest and masked in the portal. The Privacy Policy has the details.

Can we move over from spreadsheets?

Yes. Start with your people list, add schedules and leave, and import attendance records from your biometric device as a CSV. We will help you plan a sensible cutover so you are not running two systems for long.

Does Keen work on phones?

Yes. Keen works in the browser on any phone, so people can clock in, file leave and check payslips from day one. A mobile app is coming soon.

Can we keep using our biometric device?

Keep it. Export its records and import them into Keen, or let people clock in from the browser. Both end up in the same attendance record.

What about expenses? Coming soon

Expense filing, claims and reimbursements are coming soon. They will route through the same approvals inbox when they ship.

Your next payday can be uneventful

Join the waitlist for a calmer close and a Friday that ends on time.
