Setting salaries

Salary Setup holds each member of staff's package: the basic and the allowances that make it up, effective from a date. Changing a salary adds a new package from the date it applies, so past payslips keep the figures they were paid on.

Running the month

1. Run Payroll for the month. The system builds a payslip per member of staff from their package.
2. Absence deductions come from the staff attendance already marked, on a thirty-day basis.
3. Add anything else by hand — a bonus, a fine, an advance recovery.
4. Approve, then Mark paid when the money leaves. That is what posts it to the ledger.
5. Print payslips individually or for everyone.

Advances

A loan to a member of staff is recorded under Staff Advances with its recovery plan, and each month's instalment is deducted from the payslip until it is cleared.
