The employee payroll is made up of many components and the components are named as payroll category in School Software Pro. It can have variable values based on formulas and conditions. The formulas for each payroll category can be dependent on other categories.
In School Software Pro, payroll categories are grouped into two types: Earnings and Deductions.
Earnings are all amounts paid to an employee for services rendered on an hourly, salary, or any other basis. For example, Basic Salary, Bonus, and so on.
Deductions are amounts withheld by the institution. For example, Provident Fund, Professional Tax, Income Tax, and so on.
The payroll amount for a category can have numeric values or variable values based on formulas and conditions. For example, a payroll category ‘Basic’ can have the calculation rule as ‘40%GROSS’.
