Run Payroll is a feature used to calculate employee salaries every month. In Run Payroll, you can specify the payroll period, select the employees whose payroll you want to process/calculate, and you can also make changes to monthly allowances and deductions during the Run Payroll process.
Before running payroll, make sure you have checked the attendance data of employees, and updated the employee payroll data if there are any changes.
Overall, the new interface on the Run Payroll page retains the functionality of the old interface, but includes some improvements to make the Run Payroll process easier.
Here are the steps.
Go to the Payroll menu and select Payroll processing.
Select the Run Payroll tab.
-
In the new interface, there is a pop-up called Payroll Checklist that serves as a reminder to prepare related data before running payroll.
If you do not need this pop-up, please check the option “Don’t show this again”.
-
Select the payroll period to be processed in the Payroll Period field. Next, select the payroll schedule in the Payment Schedule tab if there are multiple different payroll processing schedules.
Select Default Payment Schedule if there is only one payroll processing schedule.
Activate Custom Date for BPJS Kesehatan and then select the custom date month if you want to use the BPJS rate for a specific month.
Click “Select Employees” if you want to process payroll for only certain employees.
In the sidebar that appears, type the name of the employee you want to select, then click the employee’s name or click the “+” symbol. Then click “Assign employee” to select that employee.
You can also check "Select all employee" to select all employees.
Click “Next” to continue the payroll process.
-
In the Review stage, a summary of data per employee will be displayed for you to review before starting the Run Payroll process. This new interface also shows additional information, such as the selected Payment schedule, Payroll cut off, and the number of employees processed in Run Payroll.
To make changes to the component values for an employee, please visit this guide.
-
If you want to see the details per component overall, you can click “Detail”. Below is the view in Detail mode.
Please note that the Detail view is view-only; if you want to make changes, return to Overview mode and click “Edit”.
-
Click "Run payroll" to complete the payroll process.
If, after running payroll, you make changes to payroll components, you must run payroll again. This is to ensure that the data in the employee payslip is updated according to the changes made.
Then, in the pop-up, confirm your action by clicking “Run” to proceed with running payroll.
-
While the run payroll process is running, you can choose to stay on the run payroll process page or click “Minimize” if you want to perform other activities in Mekari Talenta.
You cannot perform Import Shift, Import Attendance, and Run Payroll simultaneously with the Import Fingerprint process or other import/export feature processes. This system is designed to protect the accuracy of salary calculations and maintain system stability; by locking total read & write access (block read & write) on the related data group, the system ensures no attendance or compensation changes sneak in midway that could cause miscalculations, while also dedicating the full server capacity to complete this critical process quickly and securely.
If you choose to wait and remain on the Run Payroll process page, you will see the following display once the payroll process is complete. To view detailed reports, click one of the reports available under Here is your summary report.
You will also receive a notification in the Inbox; select the Inbox from Run Payroll.
Click "View report" to see the report.
Then select "Salary Detail".
The report display will appear as follows. To learn more about the payroll report, click here.
That is how to calculate employee payroll using the new interface of the Run Payroll page. If you want to lock access to run payroll (so payroll data for the relevant period cannot be changed after locking) and allow employees to view their own payslips, you can click "Publish payslip" on the Payroll History page.
