Run payroll for the month

Set up the pay parts once, then book each month's salary, check the payslips and approve them.

Payroll in Hexabooks has a setup you do once and a routine you repeat each month. This tutorial covers both.

1. Set up the pay parts once

Add your payroll headings: the earnings, such as basic salary and allowances, and the deductions. Then build a payroll structure from them, with a formula for each heading. Finally, set a payscale with a base salary for each designation and level.

2. Enter your tax slab

Create a tax slab with its bands, each with an upper amount and a rate. You enter the slabs yourself, so you can update them when the rates change. Check the figures with your accountant.

3. Set up each employee

Open the employee's settings and choose their designation, base salary, tax slab, payroll structure and shift.

4. Book the month

Create a pay booking for the salary month and fiscal year. Check attendance and approved leave first, so the month is right.

5. Check and approve the payslips

Each employee has a payslip with their earnings, deductions and tax. A payslip is a voucher with debit and credit lines, so approving it books each line to its account. Read each one before you approve.
