Adding payment/deduction to payslip

Is this a payment to the employee (Wage) or a deduction?

 

Click here to select the item description which must appear on the payslip.

 

Click here to view the master list of item descriptions. You can then create a new description if needed, change the characteristics of an existing one or delete a description. If a new item description is required for this employee, create it and when you have done so, select it from the list to the left of this button.

 

If the item whose description you selected was originally defined as "General", enter the amount here. If it is reading-based, you will be asked to enter the reading details and the amount will be calculated for you. If it represents a percentage of the employee's fixed or gross wage, the wording will change to "% to be deducted". In that case, enter the percentage (e.g. 10 for 10%).        

 

Anything that you type here will appear on the payslip instead of the wording shown in the "Description" field. Assume that your employees occasionally purchase maize or  chickens from you. It is not necessary to define two separate payslip items. You only need one item called Goods purchased. When an employee buys chickens, select Goods purchased from the list but type "Chickens purchased" in the "Remarks" field. In the case of maize, type "Maize purchased". The wording in the "Remarks" field will appear on the payslip but the deduction will be treated according to the definition of Goods purchased.
