How it works

Step by step - from setup to outcome

Configure salary components and tax rules once

Set up your payroll components - Basic, HRA, Special Allowance, LTA, PF, ESIC, PT, TDS - using the Payroll Components module. Configure tax rules for each market (India state-wise PT, UAE VAT exemption for salaries, Saudi GOSI rates). Once configured, every future payroll run uses these rules automatically.

Why this matters: Most payroll tools require re-entering tax rules every cycle. CrmLeaf configures once and applies forever - including when regulations change (updated in the system, not in your spreadsheet).

Payroll ComponentsTax ConfigurationMulti Currency

Attendance and expenses feed in automatically

At the start of the payroll run, attendance data (present days, LOP, approved leave) flows in from the Attendance module. Approved expenses from the Expense module are queued for reimbursement. Overtime from the Shift Roster is already calculated. You review the pre-populated figures - not build them from scratch.

Why this matters: Manual payroll inputs cause most payroll errors - wrong LOP count, forgotten expense reimbursements, miscounted overtime. Automated feed eliminates input errors at the source.

Attendance auto-feedExpense reimbursementOvertime calculation

Statutory calculations run automatically - PF, ESIC, TDS, PT

For India payroll: PF employer (12%) and employee (12%) contributions are calculated per employee. ESIC is applied for employees below ₹21,000/month (3.25% employer, 0.75% employee). TDS is computed based on each employee's IT declaration and applicable regime. Professional Tax is applied at the correct state slab. All of this happens in seconds.

⚠️Compliance deadline: PF challan must be deposited by the 15th of the following month. ESIC by the 21st. TDS by the 7th. CrmLeaf generates all challans - you just upload them.

Review payroll summary - approve and process

The Payroll Report shows every employee's gross, deductions (statutory + LOP + loans), and net pay - broken down line by line. Review exceptions, flag anomalies, and approve. Once approved, salary disbursement instructions are generated for your bank. Payslips are automatically published to each employee's self-service portal.

Why this matters: A one-page payroll summary that shows every exception is the difference between a 20-minute payroll review and a 2-day audit trail investigation.

Tally sync - payroll entries posted to accounting books

After approval, payroll journal entries sync to Tally ERP automatically - salary expense debited, bank credited, PF payable, ESIC payable, TDS payable all posted to the correct ledger heads. Your accountant sees a complete payroll entry in Tally with zero manual journal work.

Why this matters: Indian SMBs that run Tally spend 2–4 hours per month manually posting payroll entries to Tally. CrmLeaf eliminates this entirely with one-click sync.

Platform integration

Payroll is the convergence point - attendance, expenses, and employee data all feed here

Payroll is where everything comes together. Attendance contributes present days and LOP. Expenses contribute reimbursements. Employee Records holds salary structures. After payroll runs, data flows to Tally for accounting and to Reports for analysis. The entire chain is automatic.
