Payroll

  • Add payroll adjustments Payroll, then Adjustments, is where you add one-off additions and deductions to a pay period, one by one or by bulk upload.
  • Compute 13th month pay for a tax year Payroll, then Special Runs, calculates 13th month pay per employee from months worked and total basic salary, shows the non-taxable and taxable parts, and generates the payroll run.
  • How holiday pay is computed in the Philippines A regular holiday is paid at 100% if unworked and 200% if worked. A special non-working day is paid 130% if worked and follows no work, no pay if not. Working on a rest day adds a further premium.
  • How night shift differential is computed Employees who work between 10 PM and 6 AM are paid an additional 10% of their regular hourly rate for each hour worked in that window.
  • How overtime pay is computed Overtime on an ordinary working day is paid at the hourly rate plus 25%. On a rest day or holiday, the overtime premium is 30% on top of the rate for that day.
  • Record employee loans and cash advances Payroll, then Loans, holds each employee loan with its principal, monthly amortization, installments and balance, so deductions run automatically.
  • Regular holidays versus special non-working days Regular holidays are paid even when unworked. Special non-working days are paid only if worked, unless your policy says otherwise. The two types also pay different premiums when worked.
  • Review and approve the pay register Payroll, then Pay Register, lists each pay period's run with earnings, statutory deductions and net pay per employee, and is where you lock and approve a run.
  • Run payroll Payroll, then Run Payroll, shows each employee's attendance, gross pay, deductions, adjustments and net pay with a ready, warning or error status, before you review the pay register.
  • Set up holidays and holiday pay rates Settings, then Holidays, is where you add regular and special non-working holidays, choose whether they apply company-wide or to one branch, and override the pay rate if you need to.
  • When final pay must be released Under DOLE Labor Advisory No. 06 of 2020, final pay is released within 30 days from the date of separation or termination, unless a company policy or agreement provides a shorter period.
