This setup is used to calculate salary deduction based on employee lateness, where deductions are only applied after a minimum lateness threshold, and the deduction is calculated based on the employee’s hourly or per-minute rate.
Steps to Set Lateness Formula in Deduction:
Go to Tools > Payroll Items.
Go to Deduction.
Click + Add New.
Enter the Code, Description and select the Employees to be assigned.
Enter the formula as desired.
Example: IF (LATENESS TIME < 15) 0 ELSE (BASIC RATE / 26 / 8 / 60 x LATENESS TIME)
If lateness is less than 15 minutes, no deduction will be applied.
If lateness is 15 minutes or more, deduction will be calculated based on the employee’s salary per minute rate.
