Turn Sharanik account backups into queryable payroll APIs
מחשבון שכר - שכרניק החדש (Sharanik) is one of Israel's most-used personal salary calculators, with more than 100,000 Android installs and a 4.8-star rating on Google Play. Each user account stores months of attendance punches, shift definitions, gross-to-net payslip lines and pension/education-fund contributions across up to eight workplaces. We turn that local + cloud backup data into a clean OpenData feed that HR, bookkeeping, and finance systems can read.
- Attendance & shift data — every clock-in/out, plus rule-based overtime classification (lunch, night, Friday, midnight).
- Payslip math — gross, net, allowances (travel, meals, car), pension, keren hishtalmut, recovery days and bonus lines.
- Multi-workplace — consolidate up to 8 workplaces per user into a single normalized feed for accountants and ERPs.
Data available for integration
Sharanik concentrates several payroll-grade datasets that are otherwise scattered across employee inboxes and bureau PDFs. Below is what we typically expose as OpenData endpoints when working from a user's authorized backup.
| Data type | Source (in-app screen) | Granularity | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attendance punches | Attendance clock | Per shift, per workplace | HR time-and-attendance feeds, audit trails, anomaly detection |
| Overtime breakdown | Hours report / overtime calculator | Lunch / night / Friday / midnight buckets | Payroll bureau reconciliation, labour-cost reporting |
| Gross-to-net payslip | Salary calculation | Per pay period, per workplace | Bookkeeping import, employee dashboards, salary disputes |
| Allowances | Additions / deductions | Travel, meals, car, custom items | Expense policy validation, ESOP / benefit reporting |
| Pension & keren hishtalmut | Pension insurance / Education fund | Monthly contribution lines | Provider sync, retirement-projection tools |
| Vacation / illness / recovery | Regular calculations | Days & rate per workplace | Leave-balance reports, statutory filings |
| Custom shift definitions | Shift settings | Per workplace, unlimited shifts | Schedule import to ERP / WFM systems |
| Cloud + device backups | Backup module | Full account snapshot | Migration, archival, multi-device parity checks |
Typical integration scenarios
1. Bureau reconciliation for shift workers
Restaurant, security and hi-tech ops teams in Israel often run on irregular shifts where employees track their own hours in Sharanik while the payroll bureau (Hilan, Michpal, Hashavshevet) issues the official slip. We expose the user-side hours feed as a webhook, which your bureau-side system compares against the formal pay run; any deviation in overtime_125, overtime_150 or Friday/midnight buckets flags a ticket before the employee escalates.
2. Multi-workplace consolidation for gig staff
Sharanik supports up to 8 workplaces. For accountants serving freelancers and gig staff, we consolidate those eight feeds into one normalized JSON tree, mapping each workplace to a tax-year-aware bracket so the user sees a real combined net — including the marginal-rate jump that single-workplace calculators routinely miss.
3. Pension and keren hishtalmut sync
Monthly pension-insurance and education-fund lines are pushed to provider portals or to a unified pension dashboard, so members can see real-time contribution progress without waiting for the annual doch shnati. The pipeline also lets pension brokers spot under-contribution against the statutory floor.
4. Payroll dispute audit trail
When an employee opens a wage-dispute case, the lawyer or labour-rights NGO needs structured proof. We deliver the user's Sharanik backup as a tamper-evident ZIP plus a JSON projection — every shift, allowance, and recovery day is timestamped and exportable, ready to drop into a labour court submission.
5. BI & cost dashboards for SMBs
SMB owners use Sharanik on behalf of their crew. Our pipeline lands the same data into BigQuery / Snowflake / Postgres, where Looker or Power BI builds labour-cost dashboards with metrics like cost-per-hour-by-workplace, overtime-as-share-of-gross, and trend lines against the April-2024 minimum wage of NIS 5,880.02/month.

Compliance & privacy
Israeli privacy law & data security
All Sharanik integrations are scoped to a single authenticated user and run under an explicit consent record. We follow the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority guidance, in particular the Privacy Protection Law, 5741-1981 and the Privacy Protection Regulations (Data Security) 5777-2017 — including the four database security tiers, breach-notification duties, and the audit-log obligations for any system handling payroll data.
Aligned with Bituach Leumi field semantics
Tax, National Insurance, and health contribution math is mapped against the National Insurance Institute (Bituach Leumi) employee/employer rate tables and the Israel Tax Authority brackets in force for the relevant year, so downstream systems see field names and rounding rules that match official slips. EU clients receiving exported payroll data also get GDPR-aligned data-processing terms.
Data flow / architecture
The pipeline is intentionally short and auditable: Sharanik client (cloud + device backup) → Consent-scoped ingestion adapter → Normalised payroll store (Postgres / BigQuery) → Outbound API or webhook → Customer system (HR, payroll bureau, BI, accounting). Each hop is logged with an immutable consent_id and a snapshot timestamp. Data minimisation is enforced at the adapter — only the fields the customer actually contracted for leave the user's device.
Market positioning & user profile
Sharanik is positioned as a personal-finance utility for Israeli employees rather than an employer tool. Its 100,000+ Android installs and 4.8-star rating skew toward shift-based workers — hospitality, security, healthcare, retail and gig staff — who need to verify the official payslip against their own clock-in records. Updates over the last two years have focused on speed (the team markets the new release as 10× faster than the legacy "Makarnik") and stability, plus rolling tax-year refreshes so calculations stay current with Bituach Leumi rate changes; April 2024 brought the new minimum wage of NIS 5,880.02/month into the calculator's defaults. The app runs on both Android and iOS, with Hebrew as the primary language and a strong base in Israel's domestic market.

Similar apps & integration landscape
The Israeli payroll, attendance and tax-calculation ecosystem is unusually deep — partly because Bituach Leumi, pension and keren hishtalmut math is non-trivial. The apps and platforms below sit alongside Sharanik in the broader landscape; integration teams often have to bridge data across several of them.
- Hilan — Israel's largest payroll/HR SaaS, serving 1,800+ organisations and over a million employees; users who keep personal hours in Sharanik often want their numbers reconciled against the Hilan-issued payslip.
- Michpal — End-to-end payroll bureau platform handling more than a million payslips; a frequent counterpart for Sharanik consolidation when employees move between Michpal-served employers.
- Hashavshevet (Wizsoft) — Long-running Israeli accounting software family; payroll exports from Sharanik often need to land in the Hashavshevet chart of accounts.
- Synel — Time-and-attendance hardware and software; employees use Sharanik as a personal cross-check against Synel-recorded clock-ins.
- Shiklulit — Veteran Israeli payroll engine still common in SMBs; integrations typically route Sharanik data into Shiklulit-compatible CSVs.
- Malam-Payroll — Online gross/net calculator from the Malam-Team group, useful as an external sanity check for Sharanik computations.
- Native Teams Israel calculator — Web-based Israel salary calculator targeting EOR/contractor scenarios; complementary to Sharanik for cross-border employees.
- CWS Israel Employer Cost Calculator — Employer-side total-cost calculator; pairs with Sharanik's employee-side view for full-cost dashboards.
- iCalculator Israel (il.icalculator.com) — 2025 salary-after-tax calculator, often referenced when validating Sharanik tax-bracket logic.
- TaxCalcPro Israel — Gross-to-net calculator with Mas Hachnasa and Bituach Leumi breakdowns; a useful peer for export-format inspiration.
Listing these apps is informational, not comparative — most integration projects we see actually run alongside one or more of them.
