Hello, users,

This March, we're excited to let you know that one of the most awaited features, the Selective Payment of Employees, is now live. Learn how to make selective payments and read about all the other enhancements that we've made to Zoho Payroll this month. 

Pay your employees selectively

Let’s consider a scenario. Nagma Balay runs an organisation with 50 employees, and payday is the 29th of every month. Out of these 50 employees, 12 of them need to be paid on the 15th of every month. With the new feature, she can now select these 12 employees in Zoho Payroll and pay them on the 15th while still paying the rest of her employees on the 29th.

To pay employees selectively:

• Go to the Pay Runs module.
  
• Click Create Pay Run. 
  
• Once you’ve added information like the deductions, LOP details, etc., click Submit and Approve.
  
• In the approved pay run, check the boxes next to the names of the employees you want to selectively pay. Ensure that these employees have the same payment mode.
  
• Choose Initiate Payment for the selected employees with the Direct Deposit payment mode.
  

• Choose Record Payment for the selected employees with the Cheque and Bank Transfer payment mode.
  

Edit, enable, or disable prior payroll after organisation setup

If you are setting up Zoho Payroll for your organisation for the first time in the middle of a fiscal year, you might have to add prior payroll data for accurate tax calculations. With the latest enhancements done to prior payroll settings you can now:

• Enable the option to include prior payroll.
  
• Edit the prior payroll data to make any necessary changes.
  
• Disable prior payroll if you don't want to include it for tax calculations. 
  

Refer to our help document to learn more about how to edit, enable, or disable prior payroll.
