Most pet software makes you export hours to a separate payroll app and pay $6–12 per employee per month for the privilege. Animal Friends OS has payroll built in. Your timeclock feeds directly into payroll calculations — hours, overtime, tips, commission splits, and printable pay stubs. No Gusto subscription. No ADP fees. No spreadsheets. Included in your $45/month flat rate. Designed by a pet care facility owner with over a decade of experience.
