Enhancements

  • One-Time Tax Calculation Feature for Allowances - (PAY_S020 - Payroll Process):

Introducing the One-Time Tax feature, which allows the system to calculate and deduct tax on specific allowances within the same month. This ensures that the tax is not projected into subsequent months of the fiscal year, providing accurate and immediate tax deductions.


Short Description: Introducing the One-Time Tax feature enables immediate tax calculation and deduction on allowances within the same month, avoiding future projections.


  • Enhanced Letter Formatting with Table Support - (HRS_R051 - Letter Report):

A new button is now available to display letters with improved formatting, ensuring proper rendering of tables within the letter report. This option guarantees that tables are displayed correctly, enhancing the overall readability and structure of the letter.


Short Description: New button enables enhanced letter formatting, ensuring correct table display for improved readability and structure in letter reports.


  • TOM_S005 - Employee wise Roster: Automatic time slot updates on the Employee Wise Roster screen now adjust late minutes, present/absent hours, and other time calculations instantly, eliminating the need for manual attendance reloading.

This eliminates the need to reload attendance through the Machine Attendance Loading screen, which was previously required.
  • PAY_S020 - Payroll Process:The Payroll Process screen now features Employee ID range fields, allowing users to recalculate payroll for specific employees only, reducing processing time without affecting the entire employee dataset.
