Once a one-off configuration is set, the software then uses this data to calculate employee salaries, wage deductions, and payroll taxes based on local payroll legislation changes, unique employee scenarios and the company’s payroll policies and regulations. Finally, employees are paid straight into their bank accounts, by pay schedule set.
