Payroll & HR
Payroll Amount Incorrect After Processing
Problem: An employee’s payslip shows a different amount than expected after running payroll.
Possible Causes
Attendance or leave records weren’t fully synced before running payroll.
A salary component (allowance/deduction) was changed mid-cycle.
Overtime or bonus wasn’t submitted before the payroll cutoff date.
Tax slab or statutory deduction rates are outdated.
Solution
Re-check attendance and leave sync status under Payroll → Pre-Run Checklist before processing.
Review the employee’s Salary Structure for recent component changes.
Confirm overtime/bonus submissions were approved before the cutoff date.
Verify tax slabs under Settings → Financial Settings are current for this fiscal year.
Error Message | Resolution |
|---|---|
Deduction missing from payslip | Check the salary component was active before the cutoff date, not added after. |
Payroll total doesn’t match last month | Compare the Pre-Run Checklist report for both cycles to spot the difference. |
Tip: Always review the Pre-Run Checklist report before finalizing payroll — it flags sync issues automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a finalized payroll run be corrected?
Yes, via an off-cycle adjustment run — finalized payslips themselves aren’t edited directly.
