Payroll
Run payroll cycles, configure salary schemas, and manage salary assignments.
The Payroll module is your central hub for managing employee compensation cycles. It handles everything from defining how salaries are calculated to running monthly payroll and generating payslips.

Main Sections
The Payroll module is organized into three main sections:
| Section | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Payroll Activities | Create and manage payroll runs -- the actual monthly (or periodic) salary processing |
| Salary Assignment | Link salary schemas to individual employees so the system knows how to calculate their pay |
| Salary Configuration | Build and manage salary schemas that define earning components, deductions, and commission tiers |
How Payroll Works
The overall payroll flow follows these steps:
- Configure salary schemas -- Define the earning components, deduction components, and commission structures that apply to different employee groups. This is done once and updated as needed.
- Assign schemas to employees -- Each employee or driver must be linked to a salary schema before they can be included in a payroll run.
- Run payroll -- Create a new payroll run for a specific pay period. The system automatically calculates every assigned employee's gross pay, deductions, and net pay based on their schema.
- Review and approve -- Finance managers review the payroll summary and individual breakdowns, then submit for approval.
- Process payments -- Once approved, payments are processed and payslips become available for download.
You only need to configure salary schemas and assignments once. After that, running payroll each period is a straightforward process of creating a run, reviewing, and approving.
