Setting up payroll

To set up payroll, turn on the HR Suite and Payroll, give each employee a salary profile, set your weekly off and holiday list, and run payroll at month end. The run reads attendance and leave and works out loss of pay, PF, ESI, professional tax by state and a TDS estimate. You review it, mark it paid, and employees open their payslips.

Last updated

1. People first

Add employees or import them from the CSV template, and set each person's department, branch and reporting manager.

2. Salary profiles

For each employee enter the pay structure and statutory details: UAN for PF (12 digits), ESI number (10 digits) where it applies, and the professional tax state. Interns can be paid a stipend.

3. Calendar

Set the weekly off and add public holidays. Nobody loses pay for a weekly off or a holiday.

4. The monthly run

  1. Check attendance, approved leave and attendance corrections for the month.
  2. Open Payroll and run the month.
  3. Review each employee: working days, present days, LOP days, gross, PF, ESI, professional tax, TDS and net pay.
  4. Mark the month paid. Payslips are available to employees in self-service.
  5. Export the run as a file if your accountant or bank needs it.

5. Fixing a mistake

A paid month is protected from being run again by accident. Un-pay it, correct the cause, and run it again.

What BizzSetu does not do

  • It does not file PF, ESI, professional tax or TDS returns.
  • The TDS figure is an estimate on the new-regime slabs, not a final tax computation.
