Payroll software plays a vital role in processing the payouts and other aspects related to employee management. Most businesses that have automated the payroll process using payroll software can process the salary on time. If you are a business looking to automate the payroll process, here are 5 things that you need to consider in evaluating the payroll software.

Organizing Employees and Records

Organize the employees based on different parameters, such as their job function, department, location, cadre/designation, and so on helps in better tracking of employees. Also, it helps you to define salary structures at a group level and apply them across various departments such as Marketing, R&D, Sales, and Accounts. The payroll software that you are looking for should allow you to create multiple employee groups and define the salary structure at the group level.

Flexible Pay calculation

An employee salary consists of different pay Heads. A pay head can be in the form of a benefit or a deduction. It could be fixed or variable for each payroll period or may be fixed for some employees and variable for the rest. For example, basic pay for an employee maybe is a fixed pay component and for some, it may be calculated on the attendance or even maybe on no of hours an employee has worked.  

The payroll software should be so flexible that it allows you to calculate the way you defined the salary. It should support fixed pays, a calculation based on attendance and productions, computed based on percentage like 20 % of basic pay and so on.

Attendance/Production types

This becomes a crucial part of the payroll management software. Different businesses process salaries differently. Following are the different types of attendance types that are most used to process the salary.

• Present
• Absent/Loss of Pay
• Week off
• Earned Leave
• Overtime
• Pay per hour
• Productivity pay such as pay per piece/unit etc.

So, the payroll software should allow you to process and calculate salary considering the different attendance types such as Present, absent, leaves, etc. and production types such as Hrs, prices etc.

Automated salary processing and payment

The payroll software should be inbuilt to process the salary automatically considering the employee pay details and attendance/production details. Once you have set the salary details for employee and have updated the attendance details, at the end of the month, the payroll software should process the employee payouts automatically.

Payslip and payroll other reports.

The Payroll software should help in the auto-generation of payslip, play sheets and other statements. Also, it should provide you with a wide range of payroll reports and registers such as payroll statement, Attendance sheet and registers.
