Payroll Settings - Company & Branch

💬 Note

• Payroll settings can be configured at both the Company and Branch levels.

  • Company-level payroll settings:

    Used when the company has multiple branches, each using the same Tax Method, Payroll cycle, Overtime calculations, Allowance payments, and Deductions.

  • Branch-level payroll settings:

    Used when each branch uses different Tax Methods/Rates, or has different Payroll, Overtime, Allowance, or Deduction cycles.

• This allows companies to configure payroll settings to enable simultaneous payroll processing for multiple branches, including Payroll Approval, Payslip notification, and the Generation of Bank Files for multiple branches at the same time.
