Run your first payroll

Employee setup → Salary structure → Attendance / leave inputs → Generate payslips → Review → Lock → Pay → Payslip delivery → Reports

Before you generate payslips

• Every employee you're including has a salary structure assigned (a salary group of earning and deduction components).
• Attendance and approved leave for the payroll period are up to date - payroll prorates pay based on attendance, joining date, and exit date.
• Employees you don't want included yet are excluded, or their record's payroll-generation flag is turned off.

Generating payslips

1. 1Step 1: Open Payroll and choose the payroll period you're processing.
2. 2Step 2: Select who to include - an explicit list of employees, an entire department, or everyone eligible.
3. 3Step 3: Generate payslips. INDpayroll walks each employee's salary components, applies proration for attendance/joining/exit, and layers on TDS, Professional Tax, LWF, approved overtime, expense claims, and time-logged pay where applicable.
4. 4Step 4: Review the generated payslips before locking them - see Employee Payslips.
5. 5Step 5: Once approved, payslips move to paid, and PDF payslips are emailed to employees automatically.

Expected result

Each included employee has a payslip covering the selected period, with earnings, statutory deductions, and net pay calculated, downloadable as a PDF and emailed to them once payslips are paid.

What to verify

• Anyone who joined or exited mid-period shows correctly prorated pay.
• Approved overtime and expense claims for the period appear in the relevant payslip.
• The email delivery summary (sent / skipped / failed) after a batch run - investigate any failed or skipped payslips before considering the run complete.
