Generate Mid-Month Payroll Bath

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

The Enable Multiple Mid-Month Payroll Batches per month check box is to enable Multiple Mid-month Payroll Batches per Month. 

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

If the Employee User-defined Payment pay at Mid-Month Batch is enabled, the User-defined payment defined in Employee Master (in Employee Master, Salary Info)  will be paid at Mid-Month Batch. 

If the Daily/Hourly Rate Employee Work Pay prepaid in Mid-Month is enabled, the Mid-Month Payroll Batch will read the number of worked days or hours from the Attendance Records from the 1st to the 15th of the month. The Month-End Payroll Batch will read the number of worked days or hours from the Attendance Records from the 16th to the end of the month. (The default is OFF).

Mid-Month MPF

If Enable Mid-Month Contribution for Casual Employees under the MPF Scheme is turned on, Causal Employees can contribute MPF on the Mid-Month Payroll. 

If Casual Employee Contribution considers Leave Pay is turned on, the MPF contribution will include the number of days for Holiday Pay, Annual Leave Pay, Sickness Allowance, Maternity Leave Pay, and Paternity Leave Pay. 

If Reserve Mid-Month MPF to month-end is turned on, HRPro calculates the MPF for mid-month and deducts that MPF amount without paying it to the employee. (Usually, it is for the case that the month-end amount is not enough to pay the MPF (e.g. for month-end payroll is for commission payment – say the mid-month amount is $20,000 and the month-end amount is $500), so the $1,000 MPF contribution is reserved to month-end)

If Reserve Mid-Month MPF to month-end is turned off, HRPro does not calculate the MPF amount and pay to the employee for the full amount (usually for commission at mid-month). 

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.
