A payroll cycle is a monthly process in which the salaries are calculated based on calculating all the action that took place on the application through out the whole month. The salary sheet is created and salary slips are generated; every employee sees his own salary slip as a result to this process.

The Cycle Process

  1. The user adds the start and end dates of the cycles to the application.
  2. Based on the previous step, the application will automatically run the cycle on time.
  3. The user calculates the cycle.
  4. Reset the cycle in case you want to make any edits.
  5. The user gets to choose to calculate the cycle then approve it (if there is no need to edit it).

Hint:

  • Once the payroll cycle is calculated, it cannot be edited or deleted and the salary sheet is generated.
  • In order to edit, you have to reset the cycle. “Edit” is to change the date on which the cycle will take place.
