Two levels of configuration
A Salary Component defines what an amount means: Basic, DA, HRA, PF, reimbursement or another earning/deduction. A Payroll Scheme decides how a selected group of those components behaves for a class of employees. The scheme contains ordered component rules.
Meaning, stage, default method, wage flags, tax flags and default posting ledger.
Attendance basis, rounding, payable ledger and ordered component calculation rules.
Effective-dated employee amounts and permitted overrides of scheme rules.
Recommended first payroll
For a simple monthly payroll, define components in this order: Basic, DA, HRA, variable additions, employee deductions, employer contributions and reimbursements. Codes referenced by another component must be calculated first.
01 BASIC = ₹20,000 fixed, attendance affected
02 DA = 10% of BASIC, attendance affected
03 HRA = 20% of BASIC+DA, attendance affected
04 MILK = ₹1,000 fixed addition
05 PF_EMPLOYEE = 12% of BASIC+DA, employee deduction
06 ADVANCE_RECOVERY = eligible outstanding instalments
Net pay = adjusted gross + additions + reimbursements − employee deductions
