Show HN: PayrollEngine – Open-source regulation-based payroll framework (.NET)

PayrollEngine – Open-source regulation-based payroll framework (.NET) is active in the show hn launch space.

Profile

Instead of hard-coding payroll rules, PayrollEngine models business logic as composable Regulation layers — versioned JSON/YAML config + runtime C# (Roslyn). Layers inherit and override like CSS cascade: national law → industry → company.v0.10.0-beta.1 shipped earlier this week alongside the new docs site (payrollengine.org).The most interesting new example: MultiCountryPayroll — DE/FR/NL sharing a single base regulation, with a split employee whose contract crosses borders mid-period. The regulation handles it without a single country-specific code path.Other additions: - Payrun Preview: in-memory calculation, no DB writes - Async payrun jobs: HTTP 202, bounded queue, webhook on completion

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

Directory data places it at the Show HN launch stage.
