Hello, everyone, 

To do this:

• Go to the Pay Runs module on the left sidebar.
  
• Create a pay run for the payout month.
  
• Select the employee for whom you want to change the deduction amount.
  
• Click Edit, and change the deduction amount. If you want to skip the deduction for that month, enter 0 as the amount.
  

Create multiple earnings with the same component type

You can now create up to 5 earnings of the same component type (Basic, HRA, Conveyance Allowance, etc.) with different specifications. For component types such as Custom Allowance and Bonus, you can create up to 20 earnings. This way, you can have multiple salary templates for corresponding employees.

For example, let's say your organisation has two branches, one in a metro city and the other in a small town. You can create two HRAs, Metro HRA (50% of Basic Pay) and Non-Metro HRA (40% of Basic Pay), and associate them to your employees according to their work locations.

Here's how you can create a new earning using a component type:

• Go to Settings > Salary Component.
  
• Select Add Component > Earning.
  

• Select the Earning Type, and enter the details.
  

• Check Mark this as Active.
  
• Click Save.
  

Select a new payday

To change your payday: 

• Go to Settings > Pay Schedule
  
• Click Change, and select the new payday.
  
• Click Save.
  

Add account code with your bank details 

Note: An account code will be mandatory if the option is checked in Zoho Books preferences.

This update is for Zoho Payroll organisations that are integrated with Zoho Books. You can now track the cash flow of loans by choosing the bank accounts and/or petty cash accounts through which the loans were disbursed to employees.

Similarily, loan repayments received as cash or bank deposits can also be recorded in Zoho Payroll. You can manually record the payment in the Loans module with the account details. Here’s how:

• Go to the Loans module.
  
• Select the employee for whom you want to record a repayment.
  
• Select Record Repayment.
  

1. Enter the repayment amount.
   

OR 

You can set the Disbursement Account (Paid through Account) while recording the loan for an employee. Here’s how:

• Go to the Loans module.
  
• Select Record Loan.
  
• Enter the details.
  
• Select the account from which the loan was disbursed under Paid through Account.
  

The journal entries for these payments posted in Zoho Books will have the details of the particular account through which loans were disbursed or repaid.
