Swingvy payroll auto-populates all fixed payroll items for the respective employees based on the setup you've applied in payroll settings. You can always review and change these payroll items in the settings menu. 
  • To add addition payroll item - Click on the Add Earning button and select the new item from the master list.
  • To remove the payroll item from the particular month of payroll - Click on the delete button next to it. 

Note:
If the item is a fixed allowance and you delete it from the current month's payroll, it will be removed in the following month's payroll as well unless you add it back.

All the listed payroll items will be visible in an excel file and you can edit the figure of the payroll item accordingly. You can check the instruction from the downloaded excel file.

Step 4 - Complete month payroll

Once all the payroll reports are exported and payslips are sent out to the employees, you would need to proceed to complete the payroll in order to store the data. Then, you will have access to payroll history in the “Payroll history” menu.

Notes:

1. All past payrolls must be completed to ensure correct statutory calculations. Payrolls currently in step 3 are not considered completed.

2. Each payroll needs to be completed because only completed payrolls are included in the Payroll history, Compensation report, Payslip page, and Year-end tax filing.

3. Any Ad hoc/Mid-month payroll in the same month will be completed along with the Monthly payroll.
