Payroll & attendance <\/strong>
are a mess in Excel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Payroll and attendance are managed in Excel, so every monthly cycle brings rework: files pile up, formulas break, and versions get out of sync.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Vietnamese labor law changes<\/strong>
often and is hard to keep up with<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Vietnam, rules on overtime, insurance premiums and holidays change frequently \u2014 including the 2026 minimum wage revision \u2014 and local staff alone struggle to keep pace. This creates a risk of incorrect processing or delays.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Data for Japanese and<\/strong>
Vietnamese staff is scattered<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information is spread across multiple files and departments, causing extra checks and mismatched data. Handoffs between staff easily lead to misunderstandings and transcription errors.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

EST solves these challenges.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With EST, attendance and payroll link automatically, so manual calculation, transcription and aggregation are no longer needed. Errors drop sharply and monthly workload shrinks.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

EST automatically keeps up with the latest labor law and payroll rules. You spend less time tracking legal changes and reconfiguring the system, keeping compliance risk to a minimum.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

EST manages employee data centrally in Japanese and Vietnamese so head office and local teams share accurate information. The approval workflow automatically logs every action and change, making it clear who edited what and greatly reducing the burden of double-checking and the chance of errors.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
