Payroll Management

Payroll that runs itself,
every single month

Configure salary structures once. Octal HR handles social security, income tax, loan deductions, and payslip generation automatically — month after month.

How It Works

From configuration to payslip in minutes

Define salary components once in settings. Each month, the system calculates every employee's gross and net pay automatically — including all deductions. You review, approve, and distribute. That's it.

1
Define Salary Structures

Create unlimited salary components — basic pay, house rent, medical, utilities, conveyance — with fixed or percentage-based values per designation.

2
Run Payroll for Any Period

Select the pay period (monthly, bi-weekly, custom), include all employees or a department subset, and let the system calculate everything — including attendance-based deductions.

3
Review, Approve & Distribute

Review the payroll summary, approve with multi-level sign-off, generate payslip PDFs, and export bank transfer files — all in one workflow.

Capabilities

Everything payroll needs to handle

Salary Components

Define unlimited earnings (basic, housing, medical, utilities, bonuses) and deductions (social security, tax, loans, absences). Assign different structures per designation or department.

Tax & Statutory Compliance

Income-tax slabs, social security (employer + employee), and statutory contributions calculated automatically every month. Updated with each budget.

One-Click Payslips

Generate professional PDF payslips for all employees at once. Employees can download their own payslips from the self-service portal — no email distribution needed.

Bank Transfer Files

Export payroll disbursement files in formats compatible with all major banks and international standards (ISO 20022, SEPA, ACH, SWIFT). Ready to upload directly.

Approval Workflows

Multi-level payroll approval — HR prepares, Finance reviews, Management approves. Full audit trail of who approved what and when. Status: Draft → Processed → Exported.

Adjustments & Arrears

Attendance Integration
