Assign Salary Structure to Employees

This help page demonstrates steps to assign salary structure to employees. If any change is made to a salary structure, it needs to be reassigned to employees, or edited for the employee to reflect the changes.

Empxtrack allows creation of multiple salary structures in the system. Once a salary structure is created, it needs to be assigned to employees. The system provides a default salary structure which is non editable and used for the employees (by default) if a custom salary structure is not defined.

   The window displays a default salary structure, which is non editable and is used for the employees by default, if a custom salary structure is not defined in the system and assigned to employees.

5. The values in all the salary heads appear automatically when a specific salary structure is selected. You can modify the values later, if required. Mention the recommended amount  and it divides the salary into various heads. Balancing head is given to put the remaining amount if it is not mentioned in any of the salary heads.
   
   Note: In Empxtrack Free Payroll and HR software, CTC and Balancing head are not shown. Only salary heads like Basic, HRA, Special allowance, Conveyance allowance and more are given.
6. Mention the Effective date, Recommendation Notes and Attach a document (if required). Recommendation Notes and option to Attach a document is available in the paid version of Empxtrack. Click Submit.
