Payroll profiles, runs and slips

Access and scope

Enable Payroll in Modules. Owners and administrators manage salary profiles and pay runs. Members with a linked employee profile can view only their own approved entries and slips. USD and LBP are separate runs, not a converted total. Payroll does not send bank payments or automatically post an Accounting payment.

Set salary profiles

1. Open Salary profiles and create a profile for the employee and currency.
2. Enter the base amount and any named allowance or deduction components. Use amounts in the selected currency, not percentages.
3. Save the profile. An employee can have separate USD and LBP profiles; the identity and currency of an existing profile stay fixed.
4. Archive profiles that should no longer be used for new runs. Editing or archiving a profile does not rewrite existing payroll snapshots.

Create and adjust a draft

1. Choose Create draft payroll. Select the month, currency and employees with active salary profiles in that currency.
2. Review each saved salary snapshot and the run totals. Only one non-void run is allowed for a month and currency.
3. Use Adjust draft pay to enter clearly named allowances or deductions with the required note. Adjustments are available only while the run is draft.
4. Check gross, deductions and net. Deductions cannot exceed gross. No attendance deduction, tax or NSSF amount is inferred automatically.

Review, approve or correct

1. Choose Review payroll and record a note after checking the entries. A reviewed run must be reopened to draft before adjustments.
2. Choose Approve payroll from the reviewed run, supply a note and confirm. Approved entries are locked and become visible to the linked employees.
3. If an approved run is wrong, use Void payroll with a reason and confirmation. The original history is retained; voiding is not a refund or a bank reversal.
4. After voiding, a new revision can be created for the same month and currency. Review its snapshots independently before approval.

Slips, exports and policy limits

Open an entry to inspect its printable slip. The month-filtered CSV export follows the same visibility rules as the register. Approval records an internal payroll decision, not evidence of payment. Lebanese tax, statutory deductions and NSSF calculations require separately reviewed policies and are not configured automatically. Test with fictional values in the demo; the example salary is not a compensation recommendation.
