What's New in Zoho Payroll Indian Edition

What's New in Zoho Payroll Indian Edition

Hello everyone! 

It's been three months since we released Zoho Payroll for India and we've been constantly enhancing our product based on your valuable feedback. Read on to know about all the latest changes we've made.


ESI Included as a Part of Employees' CTC

Employee State Insurance (ESI) has two components - employee's contribution and employer's contribution. You can now configure ESI in such a way that the employer's contribution is included in the Cost to Company (CTC) of your employees.



To do this: Go to  Settings > Statutory Components > ESI . Mark the  Include employer's contribution in CTC  checkbox. 



Configure EPF at Employee-level 

In addition to the organisation-level changes that you can make to Employee Provident Fund (EPF), you can now change EPF configurations for each employee. This feature allows you to have different EPF configurations for different employees.



To do this:  First, go to Settings > Statutory Components > Employees’ Provident Fund and enable Overide PF contribution rate at employee level. Next, go to the Employees module; select a particular employee and navigate to Salary Details. Click the edit icon next to EPF Contribution under Other Deductions and make the necessary changes.



Choose the Reporting Basis - Zoho Books Integration

You can now change the basis in which you want to post journal entries in Zoho Books for approved pay runs.

Accrual Basis: Journal report will be posted on the day on which your organisation's pay period ends (usually the last day of the month).

Cash Basis: Journal report will be posted the day on which the salary is paid i.e. the payday.



To do this: Go to Settings > Zoho Apps > Zoho Books > Edit.




Delete Pay Runs or Mark Pay Runs as Unpaid  

If you had entered any incorrect inputs into an approved pay run or if you want to start over from scratch, you can delete a pay run. Also, if you had recorded payment for the current pay run and want to revert it from the Paid status, you can now delete the recorded payment and bring it back to Approved or Payment Due status. 


To do this: Go to the Pay Runs module and click the  Trash icon  to delete a pay run or click Overflow icon > Delete Recorded Payment to mark a pay run as unpaid. 

 

Enhancements to Salary Template

We've also rolled out a few changes to salary templates. Annual CTC has been made optional. Also, you don't need to provide the amount for each salary component in a template. This will help you handle employees whose salary structure is the same but the CTC and the amount for salary components vary. 



 

Reimbursement Claim Attachments

Your employees can now attach their bills when they submit a reimbursement claim through the employee portal. The approver can easily view the attached bills and approve the claim quickly, without having to collect the bills separately from the employees. 




Payroll Comparison Reports 

You can now generate payroll variance reports, also known as difference reports for your monthly pay runs. These reports highlight the differences between the current pay run and previous month's pay run, either in the component-wise or employee-wise format. 


To view difference reports: Go to the Pay Runs module, click Import / Export > Comparison Report. 



 

Give all these features a spin and let us know what you think. If you’ve got any questions or feedback, leave a comment here, or drop us an email at support[at]zohopayroll[dot]com. We'd love to hear from you! 



Cheers,

      Hello. Is there any way Zoho can count the number of CONTACTS for a particular ACCOUNT and have a field in the ACCOUNT module update itself automatically?
