Enhancement

Salary Deduction based on leave Slab

Provided the enhancement in the 'Leave Management' and 'Payroll Management' modules to correctly handle Salary deductions based on leave slabs for yearly-based leave types. The following three screens have been modified to facilitate this functionality:

• HRS_S023 - Leave Location Grade Setup: A new section named "Salary Deduction based on leave Slab" has been introduced where users can now define policies for the deduction of pay associated with various yearly based leave types. In this section a check box "Is Applicable" and subscreen button "Slab Setting..." are provided to define relevant slab settings along with the status to apply this slab setting or not making the "Is Applicable" checkbox marked or not marked.

• TOM_S031 - TOM Payroll Integration Setup: The two new mapping options named "Deductive Leave Days" and "Deductive Leave Hours" have been added in the screen where users can map attendance parameters to specify which leaves should result in salary deductions. By this, the attached attendance code can be linked with a "Payroll Process" to automate salary deductions accurately.

• PAY_S020 - Payroll Process: The impact for enhancements made in the Leave Location Grade Setup and TOM Payroll Integration Setup screens related to "Salary Deduction based on leave Slab" will now be accurately processed during a payroll run.

With these enhancements, your system can now seamlessly handle salary deductions based on leave slabs, ensuring precision and ease of use in managing payroll processes. This update enhances the Leave Location Grade Setup and TOM Payroll Integration Setup screens, making them more user-friendly and functional for payroll administrators.

• HRS_R015 - Full and Final Settlement: The "Joining Date", "CNIC", "Basic Salary", "Gross Salary", "Department", "Location" and "Position" fields have been added in the report.

• PAY_R043 - Tax Certificate: 1. A new field "Show the Signature" check box has been provided in a "Report Specific Parameters" panel; by default, it will be "Checked". 2. When a user generates the report then the "Signature" and "Other Details" will be shown/hidden in the report if the new "Show the Signature" check box is "Checked"/"Unchecked". 3. By showing/hiding the new check box, a message "This is a computer-generated Tax Certificate, no signature is required." will appear/disappear.
