EasyHR: Simplifying Payroll with Other Income & Other Deduction Features

Managing payroll efficiently requires handling more than just basic salaries. Employees often receive additional earnings, such as bonuses or allowances, while also facing deductions for loans, taxes, or penalties. These adjustments can become complex, time-consuming, and prone to errors without an automated system.

EasyHR’s Other Income and Other Deduction features provide a seamless way to manage these payroll components, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and efficiency for HR teams and businesses.

Other Income Feature: Streamlining Additional Employee Earnings

The Other Income feature in EasyHR allows businesses to add extra earnings beyond an employee’s base salary. Whether it’s a bonus, commission, overtime, or allowance, this feature ensures that all financial incentives are properly accounted for in payroll calculations.

Types of Additional Income in EasyHR

✅ Bonuses

• Example: Emma is a sales manager at a tech company. She exceeds her sales target for the quarter and earns a performance bonus of $1,000. HR inputs this bonus into EasyHR, automatically adding it to her month’s payroll. Her payslip now reflects both her regular salary and the bonus.

Commissions

• Example: John works in the sales department of an online store. Every new customer he brings in earns a commission of 5% of their first purchase. This month, John earned a commission of $200. EasyHR automatically calculates and adds the commission to his payroll, ensuring John gets paid on time.

Allowances

• Example: Alex, a traveling consultant, receives a meal allowance of $25 per day for every business trip. This month, he traveled for 5 days, so EasyHR added a total of $125 to his salary as a meal allowance.

Reimbursements

• Example: Sarah, a marketing manager, attends a conference for the company and incurs $500 in travel and accommodation expenses. EasyHR automatically reimburses her, adding the amount to her paycheck.

How It Works in EasyHR

1. In the Other Income Setup, HR can add multiple other incomes based on the company.
2. HR can set the employee’s other income for payroll processing
3. The system automatically computes the other income during the actual processing of the payroll
4. The other income and other income amounts will be displayed on the employee’s payslip.
5. Other Payroll reports reflect these additional earnings, ensuring compliance and transparency.

Other Deduction Feature: Managing Salary Adjustments with Ease

Deductions are necessary for managing employee obligations, legal compliance, and company-specific policies. EasyHR’s Other Deduction feature allows businesses to apply structured salary reductions automatically and accurately.

Other deductions are any amounts subtracted from an employee’s salary. These deductions can range from tax contributions to loan repayments. Here are some examples to clarify:

Types of Deductions in EasyHR

Loan Repayments

• Example: David took a salary advance of $2,000 a few months ago. He has agreed to repay it over 10 months at a rate of $200 per month. EasyHR automatically deducts $200 from his salary each month, ensuring the repayment is consistent.

Insurance Premiums

• Example: Mike is enrolled in the company’s health insurance plan, which costs him $100 per month. EasyHR automatically deducts the premium from his paycheck, so Mike doesn’t need to worry about manual payments.

Fines & Penalties

• Example: Tom, a delivery driver, was late to an important client meeting last week. As per company policy, the fine for tardiness is $50. EasyHR automatically deducts this amount from his salary for that month.

Company-Specific Deductions

• Example: Priya works in an organization that offers a parking subsidy of $30 per month, but she chooses to use her own transportation. She opts out of the subsidy and decides to pay for parking fees instead, which are deducted directly from her paycheck. EasyHR handles the deduction seamlessly.

How It Works in EasyHR

1. In the Other Deduction Setup, HR can add multiple other incomes based on the company.
2. HR can set the employee’s other deduction for payroll processing.
3. The system automatically computes the other deductions during the actual processing of the payroll
4. The other deductions and also the other deduction amount will be displayed on the employee’s payslip.
