Manage payroll dates that span two calendar months

Managing payroll across two months can be a challenging task, especially in large organizations. HRStop simplifies this process with the "Two-Month Attendance and Payroll" configuration feature, allowing payroll and attendance tracking across custom date ranges.

Purpose of the feature

This setting is useful when:

• Your payroll cycle spans two calendar months (e.g., 25th Jan to 24th Feb).
• Your attendance tracking also follows a non-standard cycle (e.g., 25th Sept to 24th Oct).

Steps to configure two-month attendance and payroll

1. Navigate to payroll settings
   Go to Control Panel → Settings → Payroll
2. Enable two-month configuration options
   On this page, you’ll see two checkboxes under payroll settings: i. Run payroll for dates falling in two months
   • Enable this if your payroll period spans across two months.
   • After enabling, set the custom Payroll Start Date (e.g., 25th of the month).
   ii. Run payroll for attendance dates falling in two months
   • Enable this if attendance needs to be calculated from a different two-month cycle.
   • After enabling, set the custom LOP (Loss of Pay) Start Date (e.g., 25th of the month).
3. Save the configuration
   Click "Update Details" to save your changes.

Outcome

Once configured:

• Payroll and attendance calculations align with your selected two-month cycle.
• Admins and reporting managers can track and process attendance more accurately.

Note: Only one payroll rule can be active at a time, so make sure to review your settings before updating.

This setup provides flexibility in managing varied payroll structures, ensuring smoother payroll runs and attendance accuracy.
