Generate Mid-Month Payroll Batch

• 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

    • OT Pay

    • Deduction

    • No Pay Leave Deduction

• 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, Causal Employees can contribute MPF on the Mid-Month Payroll. 

• Casual Employee Contribution considers Leave Pay:  When 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. 

• Reserve Mid-Month MPF to month-end: When 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)

• Reserve Mid-Month MPF to month-end: 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). 

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.
