Payroll runs from the same place the work is recorded, which matters most where hours feed both billing and pay.
Setting up
- Go to Accounting → Employees and add each person with their designation, department and CTC.
- Set the salary structure — basic, HRA, allowances and deductions.
Running a month
- Go to Accounting → Payroll and choose New run.
- Pick the month. Everyone active is included.
- Adjust for joiners, leavers and anything variable.
- Review the totals and the statutory deductions.
- Approve. Payslips are generated.
A month can only be run once. If something was wrong, correct it and re-run rather than creating a second run for the same period — two runs for one month is what breaks the year-end reconciliation.
