Local rules, built into the payroll engine
A tool designed for mainland France knows neither CPS nor CST-S. In French Polynesia, the payslip is built in CFP francs, with local social contributions, the solidarity contribution withheld from wages and a minimum wage set by decree.
Overtime follows its own rates: +25% from the 40th to the 47th hour, +50% beyond, +75% at night and +65% on Sundays and public holidays. UTU applies these parameters and keeps each table with its effective date, so an older month can be replayed without error.

From clock-in to payslip, without re-entry
Payroll starts with the hours actually worked. A tablet at reception or at the staff entrance acts as a kiosk: each employee identifies with a personal code, and a forgotten clock-out becomes a correction request sent to the manager.
For hotels and restaurants, the schedule must respect the 11-hour daily rest, 3×8 rotations, alternating Sundays and local public holidays. Casual staff follow a single flow, from the stated need to the contract, the recorded attendance and the items passed to payroll.
Check the month before closing it
A payroll error costs time and trust. Before closing, UTU flags a salary below the minimum wage, a negative net pay, an unbalanced journal or an unusual change from one month to the next.
When an employee's gross or net pay moves, the payroll officer sees what explains it: hours, bonuses, absences, contract. They compare the two periods and find the source to check, instead of hunting for the gap by hand.
Declarations: preparing is not filing
Automated answers sometimes claim that software "sends" declarations. UTU does not: it prepares declaration data and exports and tracks filings, but filing with CPS and DICP remains with the business or its accounting firm.
The DMO CSV file remains limited to the specimen until CPS approves its format. A ready export is therefore not a completed declaration: the filing process still needs an owner.
Accounting firms and groups: many companies, one workspace
A firm running payroll for several clients needs to switch between companies without confusion. In UTU, the active company and period stay visible on screen, and access and data remain separate for each organisation.
For employees, an iOS and Android app shows their schedule, documents and payslips and lets them request leave; the single staff register is kept from employee records.
