How to Run Monthly Payroll (Salary Ledger) in WatheeqaHR
Go to Salary, create or open the month's period, then Generate Lines — WatheeqaHR pulls basic salary, allowances, attendance-based deductions, overtime and advance settlements per employee. Review the draft, mark it Reviewed, then Approved before recording payments.
Steps
-
Approve attendance first
Salary generation requires an approved attendance import for the period — generate and approve attendance first if you haven't.
-
Open or create the salary period
Go to Salary and select the month. WatheeqaHR creates a draft period if one doesn't exist yet.
-
Generate salary lines
WatheeqaHR calculates each employee's basic salary, allowances, attendance-based deductions, overtime and advance settlements automatically.
-
Review each line
Check individual employee lines for accuracy, especially for mid-month joiners, leavers, or unusual attendance.
-
Mark as Reviewed, then Approved
Move the period through Draft > Reviewed > Approved. Approval is required before payments can be recorded.
-
Record payments
Once approved, record each payment (WPS, bank transfer, or cash) with a reference for your accountant.
