FAQ
Q: Are CNPS and IRPP rates updated automatically? Rates are configured in the payroll module settings. Any regulatory change must be applied manually by the administrator.
Q: Can the system handle employees in multiple countries? Yes. The module supports multiple tax regimes. Configure the employee's country of attachment in their profile to apply the correct scale.
Q: How do I correct an error after payslips have been generated? Open the relevant payslip, click Edit, make the correction, and re-generate the payslip. The modification history is retained.
Always verify attendance records and overtime before running payroll. An error at this stage affects all payslips.
