Payroll Module Setup, Mid-Month Payroll tab

Payroll Module Setup, Mid-Month Payroll tab is under System Manager ⇒  HRPro Setup, Payroll Module Setup.

Generate Mid-Month Payroll Batch

• Enable Mid-Month Payroll Batch: When turned on, Mid-Month Payroll Processing is available. 

• Enable Multiple Mid-Month Payroll Batches per Month: It is to enable Multiple Mid-month Payroll Batches per Month. 

• Employee Salary Payment Pay at Mid-Month Batch: When enabled, the following pay items will be paid at Mid-Month Batch.  (This is usually the case for month-end commission, OT pay, etc)  

  • • Salary 

    • Work Pay

    • Allowances

    • Bonus

    • Double Pay

    • Holiday Pay

    • Leave Pay

    • Sickness Allowance

    • Injury Leave Allowance

    • Maternity Leave Allowance

    • Deduction

    • No Pay Leave Deduction

If both the "Employee Salary Payment at Month-End Batch" (in the Payroll tab) and "Employee Salary Payment Pay at Mid-Month Batch" are enabled, the salary will be counted twice.

• Employee User-defined Payment Pay at Mid-Month Batch: When enabled, the user-defined payment specified in the Employee Master (under Salary Info) will be processed in the Mid-Month Payroll Batch. 

• Daily/Hourly Rate Employee Work Pay Prepaid in Mid-Month: When enabled, the Mid-Month Payroll Batch will calculate the number of worked days or hours from the Attendance Records for the period from the 1st to the 15th of the month. The Month-End Payroll Batch will then calculate the total number of worked days or hours from the Attendance Records for the entire month, adjusting for the prepayment made in the Mid-Month Payroll Batch. (The default setting is OFF). 

Mid-Month Payroll Amendment

• Maximum Number of Past Periods to display in Mid-Month Payroll Amendment: This setting controls how many past periods are loaded into the Mid-Month Payroll Amendment. If you have a large volume of Mid-Month Payroll Batches, limiting the period can improve the loading performance of the  Mid-Month Payroll Batches in Mid-Month Payroll Amendment.

Mid-Month MPF

• Enable Mid-Month Contribution for Casual Employees under the MPF Scheme: When turned on, Casual Employees can contribute to MPF on the Mid-Month Payroll. 

• Casual Employee Contribution considers Leave Pay: When enabled, the MPF contribution will include the number of days for Holiday Pay, Annual Leave Pay, Sickness Allowance, Maternity Leave Pay, and Paternity Leave Pay. 

• Reserve Mid-Month MPF to Month-End: When this option is enabled, HRPro calculates the employee MPF contributions (EEMC/EEVC) based on the mid-month payroll and withholds the corresponding MPF amount, rather than paying it to the employee immediately. This is typically used when the month-end payroll amount is insufficient to cover the MPF contribution (for example, if the month-end payroll consists mainly of commission and is only $500, while the mid-month amount is $20,000). In such cases, the $1,000 MPF contribution calculated from the mid-month payroll is reserved and processed together with the month-end payroll. When turned off, HRPro does not calculate the MPF amount and pay to the employee for the full amount (usually for commission at mid-month). 

• No Minimum Level for Mid-Month MPF Reserve: When this option is enabled, 5% of the MPF Income will be reserved for the Month-End Payroll regardless of the  $7,100 Minimum Level.

Please note that all the pay items from the Mid-Month Payroll Batch are aggregated to the Month End Payroll Batch during the Generate Payroll Batch.
