Employees

The roster is the company's people: identity, statutory identifiers, department and designation, processing group, and the compensation history behind each person.

The roster

• Status badges — prospective (offer accepted, not joined), active, on notice, exited, settled. Badges come from lifecycle events, not from a status field someone typed.
• Processing group — the unit the payroll run can process separately (a department, a site, a shift). Groups are created on the fly by import or from Members.
• Codes — every employee has a code. Sheets without one get a per-company sequence (EMP-0001, EMP-0002…).

Employee details

Three tabs: Details (identity, statutory IDs, overrides such as PF exclusion, TDS exclusion, overtime eligibility), Earned history (every processed month), Salary history (the append-only revision timeline).

Overrides on a person

Override	Effect
Excluded from PF	No PF for this person even though the company is registered
Excluded from TDS	No TDS line — directors and partners whose remuneration is taxed outside payroll
ESIC enabled/disabled	Per-person ESIC switch
TDS regime	New or old regime for this person
Overtime	Eligible, and the OT mode/multiplier if it differs from the company policy

Every field on the add/edit page is also reachable through Import from sheet or Update from sheet — the two sheets together cover the whole form.
