Putting an employee on payroll
One pay profile per employee - salary, allowances, statutory numbers, pension, insurance, overtime.
Steps
- Go to Payroll โ Employees - staff not yet on payroll are listed at the top.
- Click the employee: bank details, KRA PIN, NSSF and SHIF numbers come from their HR record.
- Enter the basic salary and allowances; add recurring items from the catalogue (SACCO, welfareโฆ).
- Add pension and insurance policies if they have them.
- Watch the estimate on the right - it is the same calculation as the payroll run - then Save pay profile.
Good to know
- Untick Personal relief for non-residents.
- Set the cost dimensions so the salary cost lands on the right department and branch.
