    In the weekly schedule there is information on Move to previous, that is, payments for the first week of the month are paid in the month before, while Move to next, namely payments for the last week of the month are paid in the following week.

  10. If you select Monthly in the Type Payment Schedule, in the Parent Schedule you can determine the main reference for the payroll schedule.

    Select: Employee A has 2 payroll runs (Basic Salary and Overtime).
    Default: Payroll on the 22nd (employees 1, 2, 3) and Payroll on the 25th (employees a, b, c).

  11. Check "Tax Calculate With Salary" if the tax calculation will be calculated simultaneously with the default payroll run process. On the other hand, if it is not activated, when the payroll payment schedule is run, the tax will be calculated immediately.
