Frequently asked payslips questions
The fastest and easiest way is to use the batch generation function under Services and then Payslips. You can then change the dates of the individual payslips if for some reason an employee worked a shorter period like a termination. The other way is to use the payslip tab in the employee profile, but this wont be linked to a payslip batch and also thus not the batch reports like nett pay lists or batch payslip emails. We offer this to ensure flexibility.
Yes, you can. It is recommended to add the opening balances of the prior payslips in the same financial year either as one payslip as a whole for the totals or the individual payslips. You can override the statutory calculations should there be variances by viewing a payslip and clicking on the amount. It is important to have opening balances so that the PAYE is calculated correctly for next payslips as it is calculated as a whole for the tax year.
Yes! This is in fact the correct way to do it. You can create a single payslip for just the employee from the payroll tab in the employee profile and just select the actual to and from dates. Our system is flexible, and you aren't confined to any set periods. This is also why there's no period rollovers.
Once you generate your EMP201, the payslip is no longer available for edit. You do not want a mismatch between your system data and data submitted to a tax authority. If you haven't submitted your EMP201 report to SARS yet, you can view it, delete it, and then you will be able to edit payslips again.
