Basic pay and Recurring Statutory benefits
This feature includes the basic pay, allowances and deductions, and the statutory taxes as shown in the figure below.
Under basic pay, input the rate numbers without commas and select the right contractual currency from the drop-down as well with the frequency and payment terms which could be daily, hourly, weekly, and monthly. Hourly pay must have computed timesheet hours if the system is to generate the correct salary for that selected period.
With NSSF, PAYE, LST and Withholding tax, select the right checkbox that applies to that employee.
Recurring Allowances (Payroll Credits)
Only fill the right allowances that apply to that employee. Specify the start and end dates if the allowance/deduction is for a defined period of time otherwise specify the payroll term as credit/debit indefinitely.
Deductions (Payroll Debits)
These are more like allowances, but they debit the payroll. For example a common category is the salary advance where the a user with HR/Finance rights can configure the debit start date and end date as shown in the figure below;
Banking Details and Taxing Information
This data is must add as it’s required in the generation of PAYE, NSSF and Bank reports after the payroll is generated. For example, if the Finance manager wishes to extract a report to send to the bank, it must have bank and taxing information.
Leave
This section has two parts, leave benefits and approval. This section deals with the Employee’s leave details.
Leave Benefit
In this section, the HR administrator can assign specific number of leave days to an employee or populate using the default (these are set in Settings -> Leave Categories).
