Leave, end to end
The request starts on the employee's phone; your approval generates the cycle's time entries. Balances keep themselves current, no side spreadsheet.
Employee portal, leave, signed contracts, scheduling, time tracking, filings — and payroll that applies the 2026 rates from the Official Journal: 169 h SMIG, CPS by branch, CST-S and a DMO preview. Your team's whole HR month, from first clock-in to locked close.

With Utu
The month's time tracking is already there
Hours, nights, Sundays, absences — pulled from the schedule, ready to compute.
Payslips come out right the first time
CPS, CST-S, premiums: the 2026 rates applied to the franc, without you hunting for a rate.
The close locks, the schedule appears
Nets on payday, CPS on the 10th, CST-S on the 15th — you know what to pay, to whom, by when.
From lingering doubt to a close that lands on time.
Every employee gets their own space, on their phone. Requesting leave, checking a balance, finding a payslip, signing an amendment remotely: no more going through your office — while every approval stays in your hands.
The request starts on the employee's phone; your approval generates the cycle's time entries. Balances keep themselves current, no side spreadsheet.

Every Utu calculation is checked against real French Polynesian payroll cases, to the franc — not just against the letter of a rate table, but against what the employee is actually paid and what the employer actually remits.
Real cases proven: part-time, night, Sunday, final settlement.
Here there is no URSSAF, no CSG-CRDS, no income tax at source. Instead: CPS social coverage by branch, a progressive CST-S withheld for the DICP, a SMIG based on 169 hours, and premiums specific to the fenua. A mainland engine ignores those rules — or mimics them, all the way to a reassessment.
And the spreadsheet that « has done the job for years » blocks nothing: one overwritten formula, one forgotten bracket ceiling, one undetected sub-SMIG, and it's a CPS back-payment or an underpaid employee, discovered months later.
Rather than claim it, we demonstrate it. The simulator below is Utu's payroll engine, loaded as-is in your browser.

That's a simulation. Let's run it on your real payroll.
Before locking a payroll month, Utu runs its compliance checks. As long as one blocking point is unresolved, the close is refused — not flagged: refused.
The same checks feed the disbursement schedule: net on payday, CPS on the 10th, CST-S / DICP on the 15th.

Utu is built in Papeete by the devlab team. A request raised in a demo or through support reaches the people who write the code directly — not a queue twelve time zones away.
The employee portal, electronic contract signature, filing tracking, sick leave with CPS daily allowances: these modules were born from requests by local firms and employers. Asked for, built, shipped.
Your collective agreement has a peculiar rule? Your group needs a specific export? We look at it together, in Papeete. If it serves Polynesian HR, it ends up in the product — and the log alongside grows by one line.
A real excerpt from the deployment log — dates are production release dates.
Utu is API-first: everything the interface does goes through the same API. It is also exposed over MCP — your AI assistant drives payroll in natural language, with the product's real tools.
18 real MCP tools, including
Not a chatbot stapled onto a PDF: every answer goes through the engine and the file's data.

The ones we actually get — from employers and firms alike.
Yes, and only that. Utu computes on the CPS (contributions by branch, order no. 2554 CM of 19 Dec 2025), the CST-S (11-bracket DICP scale), the SMIG at 1,024.74 F/h over 169 hours, and the Lp. 3332-2 premiums (night +75%, Sunday +65%). There is no URSSAF, no CSG-CRDS, no income tax at source: those notions don't exist in Polynesian payroll, and they don't exist in Utu.
Every employee has a personal space, reached from their phone through a token link that can be revoked at any time: leave requests with a current balance, electronic payslips after written consent, HR documents (contract, amendments), and updates to their personal details — bank account, address — submitted for your approval. Signing a contract or an amendment uses a one-time code, with proof embedded in the document.
Yes — that is the heart of the product. Utu is multi-file: a global switcher moves between clients and every screen binds to the active file. Totals, deadlines, close checks and registers are specific to each company, and each firm's data is isolated by organization.
A few days, with no heavy integration: create the file (legal name, TAHITI no., CPS employer no., collective agreement), import employees and contracts, and carry over year-to-date totals so payslips show correct YTD from the very first cycle. We walk the first close through with you.
Utu's legal parameters are versioned by effective date: the engine automatically applies the parameter set in force for the computed period (for instance PF-2026 since 1 Jan 2026). A new CPS order or a new SMIG becomes a new, sourced and dated parameter set — your past payslips remain computed under the rules of their time.
That is how Utu grows. The product is built in Papeete by devlab, and requests from employers and firms reach the team that writes the code directly. The employee portal, contract e-signature and filing tracking were all born this way. We don't promise turnaround times on a storefront: we study the request together, and if it serves Polynesian HR, it ends up in the product.
Before locking a cycle, Utu verifies among others: SMIG and collective minima, mandatory benefits, maximum working time and rest, DPAE, complete fixed-term and part-time contracts, foreign-worker permits, medical fitness, exit records, net variation and a balanced ledger. Statutory blockers cannot be acknowledged away: they must be fixed before close.
Utu prepares a controlled DMO preview and the CST-S export for the DICP, generates accounting entries and bank transfer files, then tracks filings and payments. The DMO CSV is deliberately specimen-only until its format is approved by the CPS.
A monthly subscription per file, with a payslip volume included, then per-payslip billing beyond. The amount depends on headcount and the number of files managed: request the pricing grid through the form — answer within 24 business hours, with no pushy follow-up sequence.
Each firm's data is isolated by organization: an account only accesses its own files. Employee-portal access relies on token links that can be revoked at any time. Utu is designed, built and supported in Tahiti by devlab — your contacts are in Papeete, not on a globalized chat queue.
Utu is API-first: the web interface consumes the same API exposed to integrations. That API is published as MCP with 18 real tools (payslip calculation, schedule generation, replacement suggestions, legal parameters…). Concretely, an authorized AI assistant can generate a payslip or query a schedule in natural language — every answer going through the calculation engine, never an approximation.
Demo on your real cases
