The fastest and easiest way is to use the batch generation function under Services and then Payslips. You can then change the dates of the individual payslips if for some reason an employee worked a shorter period like a termination. The other way is to use the payslip tab in the employee profile, but this won't be linked to a payslip batch and also thus not the batch reports like net pay lists or batch payslip emails. We offer this to ensure flexibility.

You must first add pay rates before creating payslips. Once a payslip is created, changes to pay rates won't affect payslips already created.

Yes, you can. It is recommended to add the opening balances of the prior payslips in the same financial year either as one payslip as a whole for the totals or the individual payslips. You can override the statutory calculations should there be variances by viewing a payslip and clicking on the amount. It is important to have opening balances so that the PAYE is calculated correctly for the next payslips as it is calculated as a whole for the tax year.

You can add a payslip to the employee that was already terminated from the terminated employee's payroll profile payslip tab and clicking on the new button. This feature was added to accommodate awards made to the employee after termination but can also be used for other purposes.

The QR on our payslips provides an encrypted link for a third party like a credit provider to verify your employment remuneration information without the need to contact the employer. This saves you time to do what matters most. Our Pro users have the option to hide this QR code.

Yes! This is in fact the correct way to do it. You can create a single payslip for just the employee from the payroll tab in the employee profile and just select the actual to and from dates. Our system is flexible, and you aren't confined to any set periods. This is also why there's no period rollovers.

Once you generate your EMP201 for the relating month, the payslip is no longer available for editing. You do not want a mismatch between your system data and data submitted to a tax authority. If you haven't submitted your EMP201 report to SARS yet, you can view it, delete it, and then you will be able to edit payslips again.

We don't do that. There is no need to change a period. If you want to go to the next period, you simply generate your payslips for the period you select. It is flexible and that is what is important. So, you also won't have any errors when rolling over or back.

Under Settings, there is Payslips Options. Here you can define custom field names which will then be available in the employee profile when editing. Unique fields can then be defined here. These fields are also available under the employee's report.

Under Settings, click on Payslip Options and then toggle the hide self-service option.

You can use an image editing app like Paint to add more white space at the bottom of the image/logo and reupload from Companies > Manage.

The current layout of the payslip when you print it is matched to the standard payslip stationery layout. Like those with "Confidential" printed all over it to hide sensitive information when sealed.

Payslips are created for employees who were employeed during the created payslip batch period. If you create a payslip batch for March 2026 but the employee's appointment date was only April, that employee will be excluded while all terminated employees are excluded. Payslips and their from dates are also adjusted according to the an employee's appointment date.

There are a few options for this: (1) If you want the note to always appear when you print the payslip, add the note in the description of any of the income transactions using payslip edit or payslip transaction edit while viewing the payslip. For example, if there is a “Salary” income transaction, change the description to: Salary - [insert note here]. (2) If the note doesn’t need to appear every time, but only when printing the payslip once, you can go to Settings > Payslip options and insert a payslip message. Then print that one payslip, and afterwards remove the payslip message again under Payslip options. (3) If it’s just a private note, you can click on the history 🕒 button next to the payslip and add a note there.
