Payroll

Seeing a ‘salary credited’ message often brings a smile to your face, but there’s a lot of work that goes into that. Diverse pay structures, complex regional tax regulations, and accurate generation of payslips for a large team can feel overwhelming. We’re making all of this easier with a feature-packed payroll module. Cut ties with disparate payroll and accounting systems to save hours of reconciliation work every month on payroll and expense data. Frappe HR promises integrated accounting with your payroll. 

Create salary structures

Frappe HR empowers you to build rule-based, complex salary structures easily. Define earning and deduction components with conditions and formulas. Map any payroll use case - from statutory & tax deductions to bonuses and allowances. 

Ensure accurate calculations for components based on actual working days, rounding preferences, and amount inclusions in salary totals. If you update component formulas anytime, simply synchronize changes with existing salary structures.

Assign salary structures in bulk

Drill down to specific employee groups with advanced filters, update base & variable amounts for multiple rows, and assign salary structures in bulk with the Salary Structure Assignment Tool.

Preview salary slips to avoid misconfigurations

Want to ensure your salary structure configurations are correct? Frappe HR lets you preview salary slips to see the configurations taking effect. Make amends wherever needed before running the actual payroll.

Run standard payroll

Run monthly, fortnightly, or weekly payroll cycles for the entire company, or a specific branch or department, in minutes. With the payroll filters, pay every kind of employee in a single payroll system - be it your part-time employees or interns. 

Book expenses, post employee-wise accruals and bank entries, and ensure your general ledger stays perfectly synchronized with your payroll data. Optionally send out password-protected salary slips within just a few clicks.

Accommodate additional salaries & off-cycle payments

Manage ad hoc salary components without revising your salary structure every time. The additional salary feature in Frappe HR helps you easily set up one-time or recurring payments or deductions. These could be performance bonuses, deputation allowances, pay cuts, arrears, incentives, or any other type of adjustment. You can also specify whether tax needs to be deducted for this specific component during payroll.

Need to process reimbursements or salary advances outside the regular cycle? Easily handle off-cycle payments by creating journal entries.

Customize salary slip print formats

Design your perfect salary slip formats with the Frappe Print Designer. Tailor the layout to include all necessary details, from base salary and net pay to deductions and tax projections, ensuring transparency and complete understanding of the compensation.

Book expenses against cost centers

Payroll is a crucial part of your organizational expenses, and you may benefit from tracking these expenses on a granular level. Frappe HR allows you to book salary expenses against multiple cost centers based on employee or department.

As your employees grow in their careers, they might contribute actively to more than 1 business unit.  In that case, the salary expenses associated with that employee can be distributed against multiple cost centers by configuring this breakup in salary structure assignments.

Handle multi-currency payroll

Frappe HR enables you to manage payroll for a global team. Create salary structures and assignments in a different currency and get gross and net totals in the selected currency as well as company currency with exchange rates. Keep your ledgers in sync with multi-currency accounting.

Manage employee loans

Frappe HR’s integration with Frappe Lending allows you to efficiently manage employee loans right from disbursement to recovery, and synchronize loan repayments with your payroll.

Timesheet-based payroll for the services sector

Employees who need to track their hours can easily fill out timesheets with a breakdown of activities for each project or task. Create salary structures based on timesheets, define hourly rates, and manage payouts for the timesheet hours. You can run separate payroll entries for timesheet-based salaries.
