A workspace for your whole scheme.

Troncly now supports shared businesses with separate administrator, troncmaster, payroll and worker accounts. The marketing site and calculator are public; business records require sign-in and membership.

What works today

Create a business and venues, invite colleagues, accept a troncmaster appointment, maintain staff and payroll references, publish policies, import hours, calculate exact penny allocations, edit drafts, submit for review, approve, export gross payroll CSV and record external payment confirmation. Workers see their personal statements, can acknowledge policies and raise allocation queries. Decisions record the responsible account in an activity log.

Account and invitation setup

Sign-in currently uses ChatGPT. Invite the email attached to your colleague’s ChatGPT account and ask them to open the workspace. Invitations appear after sign-in and expire after seven days. Invitations are not emailed automatically. The business administrator cannot switch to the troncmaster role.

Scope of this pilot

Use fictional data for evaluation until the business has approved its scheme, privacy arrangements and payroll process. This version supports one consolidated allocation per venue and period. It does not handle mixed source pools or automate adjustments after export. Generic CSV exports must be checked with your payroll provider; no provider integration is claimed.

Before a commercial launch

Independent email sign-in, subscription billing, automated invitation delivery, approved commercial terms and privacy documentation, a formal records-request workflow, operational monitoring, retention administration and tested disaster recovery remain launch work. Business record downloads are available, but they are not a managed backup-and-restore service.

Payments and responsibilities

Troncly does not transfer money, calculate tax or submit HMRC returns. Payment confirmation records an external action only. An accepted appointment and software permissions do not establish legal independence, fairness or tax exemption. Review your operating scheme with a qualified adviser.
