There are 5 key steps to complete before you run payroll:

  1. Update the list of employees
    Ensure that you have an updated list of all employees to your XPayroll account. Add or dismiss employees according to their employment status.

  2. Check for employee missing information
    Under Reports > Missing Information, you would be able to track if any employee has critical information like bank accounts, PAN missing before payroll

  3. Adjust any variables for the month
    Variables can be either an addition to the salary or a deduction based on LOP or a recovery

    a) Additions:
    This can be updated by clicking the edit button against the employee's name under the 'Run Payroll section' after selecting the payroll month.
    You may add any bonus or incentives under the addition section.

    b) Deductions
    In case your team is using the attendance module to track leaves, you can navigate to Reports > Attendance > Payroll Adjustments and approve any loss of pay recommendations XPayroll suggests.

    In case you are tracking LOP outside XPayroll, you may update the deductions by clicking the edit button against the employee's name under Run Payroll and updating this data under deductions.

  4. Verify salaries being calculated
    You may take a look at the Salary Register under reports to do a cross verification of employees salaries.

  5. Finalize and execute payroll.
    Finalize payroll, transfer required funds and execute payroll.
