Submit Payroll for Approval

Empxtrack offers maker checker functionality to verify the calculated salaries. Prepare and submit payroll for approval to the approver. Thus once the salary is calculated and adjustments are made to them, it is sent for approval.

Usually, an approver is a Director or CEO in a SME or startup. For large organizations, an approver can be the HR manager or HR director or any other person managing that role.

Note: Sending salaries for approval is an optional step and can be enabled/ disabled by the Payroll administrator/ HR manager/ HR Admin while configuring payroll. Refer to page, configure payroll settings for more information. Select the checkbox given with Verification option in Steps for payroll processing section. To get more configuration options, upgrade your Free Payroll and HR software to a paid version. Watch a short video on how to upgrade Empxtrack Free Payroll software in just a few clicks

The submit for approval link appears on Process Payroll: Step 2 page only when the approval of salaries is enabled in the payroll settings.
