Lock inputs
Freeze attendance, leave without pay, overtime, joiners, leavers and salary changes before calculating. Late changes are the most common cause of errors.
Calculate deductions
Calculate PF on the eligible wage, ESI for employees under the wage ceiling, Professional Tax by state slab, and TDS based on each employee’s declared regime and investments.
Pay and file
Pay salaries, then deposit TDS by the 7th and PF and ESI by the 15th of the following month. Issue payslips and keep the salary register for inspection.
