Payroll setup
Payroll Settings, the Deductions and Additions catalogs, and per-employee overrides.
Payroll Settings
Go to Payroll → Payroll Settings. These numbers drive every computation:
- Overtime multiplier (default 1.25 = 125% of the hourly rate).
- Night differential (default +10% for hours worked 10 PM–6 AM).
- Holiday premiums — regular (default +100%) and special day (default +30%) — and rest-day premium (+30%).
- Working days per month × hours per day (default 22 × 8) — used to turn a monthly salary into hourly and daily rates.
- Switches — deduct tardiness, deduct absences, and withhold income tax. All off by default; turn on what your policy needs.
- BIR tax brackets — the graduated withholding table, editable right on the page when rates change. Kinsenas staff are automatically taxed at half the full-month tax per cutoff.
Deductions & Additions
These are your standing rules, applied on every run:
- Deductions — SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, loans… each is a percentage of gross or a fixed peso amount.
- Additions — allowances (transport, meal, COLA) and other recurring earnings.
- Each item can target a cutoff (every payday, 15th only, or 30th only) and an audience — All employees, Salaried (monthly & semi-monthly), or Per-hour only.
Per-employee overrides
When one person has a different amount for the same item (say, a bigger loan deduction), set an override on that employee — it replaces the catalog amount for them automatically on every run.
💡 Set all of this up once. After that, payday is just: record one-time pay → generate → review → publish.
