Pro-rated Income Components#

In case of pro-rated income components, the salary structure will have two related components:
  1. actual value component that is pro-rated (e.g. BASIC)
  2. full value component that has the full amount (e.g. FULL BASIC)

Remember that:
BASIC = FULL BASIC * (actual days worked/total work days)

Since BASIC is a formula component, it is automatically computed and you will not be able to edit the value for BASIC. If you need to input any values to BASIC, you must really update the FULL BASIC value.

How do I update the salary details of an employee?#

Each company has a certain compensation structure with various components like Basic, HRA, conveyance, etc. For any component, you can specify:

  1. a fixed amount for a component: BASIC = 8500
  2. a formula: HRA = 40% of BASIC
  3. lookup: if Location = Timbuktu then SPECIAL ALLOWANCE = 2000
  4. slab lookups: if BASIC between 5000-10000 then LUNCH ALLOWANCE = 500
  5. computed using special payroll agents (e.g. INCOME TAX, PROFESSIONAL TAX, etc.)

You need to input values only for those components that are fixed amounts (1). All other components will be computed based on the formula, lookup or special processor and do not require any inputs.

It will be very useful if you spend a little time learning the concepts in this page.

Here are the steps to update the salary details of an employee:

  1. Go to Salary tab and select the payroll month from the drop down menu.
  2. From the list of employees below, select the employee for whom the salary data is to be viewed or updated.

    2. This column displays the statutory and other deductions done.
    3. Click on the EDIT button to edit that particular component
    4. You can edit the LOP days here
