Payroll — Getting Started

AstraERP Payroll turns employee pay setup + the month's variable items into an authorised pay run: gross to net with SSNIT (Tier 1), Tier 2, income tax (Ghana PAYE bands), allowances, deductions, overtime and wages — with payslips, bank pay-in lists and institution schedules out the other end.

The pay cycle

1. Configure — payroll items, settings, the current pay period.
2. Set each employee's pay — pay details: basic pay or wage type, statutory flags, recurring earnings/reliefs.
3. During the month — capture overtime, wages, bonuses & compensations, deductions, refunds; monthly work-hours flow in from HR attendance.
4. Run — create the pay run, review, authorise, dispatch payslips and export the bank/institution schedules.

Who does what

Pay setup and runs are permission-gated pages like everything else; the pay run itself takes a second authorisation step before anything can be dispatched — computed numbers are reviewable and reversible until then.
