Salary Increase (Government)

Sicorax Payroll offers the facility to perform the automatic calculation of the government increment for both full-time and part-time employees.

However, the salary increase calculation depends on the employee's Employment Type (full-time or part-time).

* Step 1: Click Salary Increase

* Step 2: Click Govt Increase Calculation icon

* Step 3: Verify the scales from the tables

* Step 4: Click Start Temporary calculation

Things to consider before starting the temporary calculation:

Update salary increase method:

• By default Salary increase is applied on Basic salary

Rounding method:

• Set the rounding type and rounding value for the required paytype
• For a Daily type employee the increase will be applied to his daily basic and rounded as specified
• For a Monthly type employee the increase will be applied to his monthly basic and rounded as specified

* Step 5: View error log and verify checklist

• Click the Errors Log icon to view errors prompted by the system during the temporary calculation

• Click the Preview icon to view the Salary Increase Checklist

• Click the Export icon to export the Salary Increase details to excel

After validating the checklist:

* Step 6: Security backup and Final run (Salary Increase only)

• Click Do a security Backup icon

• Click Start Final Calculation button
• NB:

1. The final run of the Government salary increase will NOT close the payroll of January. It will only create a Salary increase transaction (e.g payment code 120) for each employee through Employee transactions.
2. If daily transactions are generated for overtimes and absences, both the old and the new salary rates can be applied automatically for those transactions, i.e the old hourly/daily basic rates can be applied for overtimes/absences until 31/12/2019 respectively and the new hourly/daily basic rates can be applied as from 01/01/2020. To do so, refer to Employee - Employee Rates. How to apply old and new salary rates below.
3. After the final calculation of January's payroll, the Monthly/Daily/Hourly Basic Rates are automatically updated and the new amounts are set in the employee master file. Therefore, the payslip for the month of January will show the old basic and the increase amount separately. As from February's payroll the new basic salary will be displayed.
4. In the case of a company salary increase is paid (apart from the Govt. Increase), you must use a different payment code to record the company increase. The amount can either be input or imported through the Employee Transactions where the import is done using an Excel file. Refer to the below link for the import procedure:

* Step 3: Click Apply new hourly/daily rates button. list of employees having the salary increase transactions will be displayed.

* Step 4: Modify the date as from which the new salary rates will be applied for both monthly and daily payroll types

* Step 5: Click Select all button. Unselect employees for whom both rates will not apply.

* Step 6: Click Apply button and on Yes button to apply the transactions to the selected employees

You may then proceed with payroll calculation and verify the overtimes and absences calculation with both rates.
