Employee Data Verification and Update

Employee data verification and update is a necessary step in payroll preparation. HR needs to check out basic details of employees like salary structure, date of joining, attendance, state, PAN information, Bank account number, UAN information. These details are important for processing payroll of a specific month. Empxtrack allows you to verify and update employee data and attendance while running the payroll.

For employee data verification and update, follow the steps:

1. Login as an HR Manager/ HR Admin.
2. On the Homepage, click on the Payroll tab. The Process payroll page appears on the screen.
   
   Note: The application displays tabs depending on the Empxtrack product version that you are using.
   
3. The page displays the selected financial year in Financial Year dropdown, and the selected pay period type in Pay Period Type field. All the pay periods of the selected financial year appears in the list. It displays number of processed and disbursed payrolls in Processed and Disbursed columns.

4. Click View icon to initiate payroll processing. The Process payroll: Step 1 page appears with a list of employees and their eligibility for a payroll run. The page displays employee information along with the status of each field.

During payroll preparation, check out the values of various parameters such as Date of Joining, Attendance, Salary structure, State (for professional tax), PAN No (for TDS, Form 24Q), UAN (for PF), Bank Account (salary transfers) and Pending approvals (correct calculations).There are 3 symbols that show the status of information for a specific pay period:
   • Green tick : It displays that data is available for that field.
   • Red cross : It shows data is not available for a column, and the column is mandatory. Payroll cannot be processed without providing information for that specific field.
   • Yellow question mark : Data is not complete and may lead to incorrect calculations or wrong reports.
