Payroll Entry

Payroll is the sum total of all compensation a business must pay to its employees for a set period of time or on a given date.

In OneHash, Payroll Entry enables bulk processing of payroll for employees in other words, processing salary slips of all employees in one go. The bulk processing can be Company-wide or based on these categories: Branch, Department, or Designation.

To access Payroll Entry, go to:

Home > Human Resources > Payroll > Payroll Entry

1. How to create a Payroll Entry

To create a new Payroll Entry:

Go to: Payroll Entry > New.
Select Payroll Frequency.
Select Branch, Designation and Department to filter out employees (optional).
Select Project (optional) if you want to run the payroll against a project.
Select 'Validate Attendance' and 'Salary Slip Based on Timesheet' checkboxes in case the payroll is dependent on them.
Select the Payment Account to make the Bank Entry.
Save.

Once the information is saved, click on the Get Employees button to get a list of Employees for which the Salary Slips will be created based on the selected criteria.

Once the list of Employees is fetched, click on the Create Salary Slips button to generate Salary Slips.




Note: If the Salary Slips are already created, the system will not create any more Salary Slips. You can also just save the form as Draft and create the Salary Slips later.

2. Features

2.1 Booking Salary Accrual
After verifying the Salary Slips, you can Submit them all together by clicking on Submit Salary Slip. This will also book the default Payroll Payable account against respective Expense Heads (as configured in Salary Components) to record the accrual of salary to employees.

Note: Submitting Salary Slips one by one manually will not create the Journal Entry to record salary accrual.

The final step is to book the Salary Payment.

Salaries in businesses are usually dealt with extreme privacy. In most cases, companies issue a single payment to the bank combining all salaries and the bank distributes the salaries to each employee’s salary account.

This way there is only one payment entry in the company’s books of accounts and anyone with access to the company’s accounts will not have access to the individual salaries.




2.2 Salary Payment Entry
The salary payment entry is a Journal Entry that debits the total of the Earnings type salary component and credits the total of Deductions type salary component of all Employees to the default account set at Salary Component level for each component.

To generate your salary payment voucher from Payroll Entry, go on:

Make > Bank Entry

Payroll Entry will route you to Journal Entry with relevant filters to view the draft Journal Vouchers created. You shall set reference number and date for the transactions and Submit the Journal Entries.




Note: For Salary Components which are Flexible Benefits and has Create Separate Payment Entry Against Benefit Claim checked, OneHash will book separate draft Journal Entries.
