Through Mekari Talenta, you can pay employees using a split payment or multiple disbursement system. You can use this feature if your employees have more than one account for payroll payments. Beforehand, you need to set the policy first via the Settings menu.

Important
Split Payment Policy is an additional feature in Talenta. You can request to activate the Split Payment Policy feature by contacting support-hr@mekari.com or through live chat.

Here are the steps:

  1. Log in to your Mekari Talenta HRIS account, then click your profile and click Company settings.
  2. On the Payroll sidebar menu, click Split payment.
  3. Click the “Create policy” button.
  4. Fill in the policy name in the Policy name column.
  5. Then, there are 3 (three) options in the Split method section that you can choose, specifically:
    1. Percentage by THP
      You can choose this option if you distribute Take Home Pay (THP) using a percentage calculation. You can add up to 3 layers of payment accounts by clicking "Add distribution". Fill in the percentage amount of THP distribution to each account in the percentage (%) column transferred to the Secondary/Tertiary account. Or, click the “-” icon to delete payment account layers one by one.
    2. Fixed amount by THP
      You can choose this option if you distribute Take Home Pay (THP) using a fixed amount in rupiah. You can add up to 3 layers of payment accounts by clicking "Add distribution". Fill in the THP distribution amount in rupiah to each account in the Rp column transferred to the Secondary/Tertiary account. Or, click the “-” icon to delete payment account layers one by one.

      If the amount is less after you split, then the disbursement will follow the order: Secondary, Tertiary, then Primary.
      Example: THP 17 million rupiahs, with settings like the picture above, what is transferred is:
      Secondary: 15 million rupiahs
      Tertiary: 2 million rupiahs
      Primary: 0 rupiahs

    3. Selected payroll component
      You can choose this option if you want to distribute split payments according to certain payroll components which you can select in the Select payroll component column transferred to the Secondary/Tertiary account. You can also check more than 1 payroll component. Additionally, you can add up to 3 payment account layers by clicking “Add distribution” or, clicking the “-” icon to delete payment account layers one by one.

      If the amount is less after you split, then the disbursement will follow the order: Secondary, Tertiary, then Primary.
      Example: THP 17 million rupiahs, with settings like the picture above, what is transferred is:
      Secondary: 15 million rupiahs
      Tertiary: 2 million rupiahs
      Primary: 0 rupiahs

  6. Click “Add employee” to display the following sidebar. Select and click on the names of the employees you want to provide this special policy. If the names have moved to the right sidebar and are appropriate, then click "Submit".

    Use "Filter" and the Search bar column to make it easier for you to search for employee names.

  7. Therefore, the names of the employees you have previously selected will appear in the list as follows. If it is appropriate, click "Save".

    Click the “-” icon to delete inappropriate employee names.

  8. You can see each policy that you have created in the "Policies" list in Split payment Settings. You can also click "Actions" and then Edit to edit the policy or Deactivate to deactivate the policy.
