A payroll month at a glance

 1. Attendance ──► 2. Run ──► 3. Review ──► 4. Payslips ──► 5. Compliance ──► 6. Pay the bill

1. Attendance — enter working, present and paid-leave days per employee on the run page (or import the attendance sheet). Add OT hours, reimbursements, other deductions and any open earning the structure defines.
2. Run — process all, or a group at a time. The engine freezes the structure version, statutory parameters, ESIC strategy and payslip template into the run. What you see in the preview is what freezes.
3. Review — the register export shows every head, deduction and net per employee. The audit log records the run.
4. Payslips — download as a zip of PDFs, or email through the outbox. A frozen slip never changes after the fact.
5. Compliance — PF ECR (and the arrear ECR when arrears were paid), ESIC monthly contribution file, PT and levy summaries.
6. Pay the bill — the run charged your package for the month. The month you ran is never blocked; the next month waits until the bill is paid. See Dues, relief and the payroll gate.

What locks after a run

• The month's lines. Corrections happen through a re-run (a new run supersedes; history is kept) — see Re-runs and corrections.
• Revisions effective inside a processed month cannot be created as ordinary revisions; use Rectify for a wrong revision or a Backdated revision for a real backdated change with arrears.
