When using Talenta, you are asked to fill in the employee payroll components obtained by employees in the Talenta database. However, you don't need to worry if in the middle of the period, there are changes to employee payroll components, you can change them by using the Update Payroll Component feature.
This feature can help you enter data on changes to salaries or benefits that employees have in Talenta. Previously, you can learn how to manage salary reports, here.
Important
There are several differences between the old version of the Payroll Component Update and the new version:
- Currently, users can assign multiple employees & multiple components in one Payroll Component Update transaction.
- Users can provide an end date for transactions which will automatically change the value to 0 if it has passed the specified expiration date (does not apply to basic salary).
- Super admin can apply approval settings for payroll component updates, read the guide here. In this treatment, every payroll component update will require an approval process first.
The following are the steps to add, edit, and delete on the payroll component update menu.
- Enter the Payroll menu.
- Select “Update Payroll Component”.
- Click “Update components”.
- Then you will be asked to fill in the following blank columns.
Information:
No. Column/Button Name Description 1 Type Select the type of component change, "Adjustment" for adjustments, and "Expired" to terminate components that are no longer valid. 2 Effective date Complete the effective date for payroll components to take effect in this section. 3 Description (Optional) Enter component change description information if necessary in this section. 4 Applicable date Check the End date information if the component has a use-by date. So that when the time limit has been reached, the component nominal will change to 0 (zero) and remain active for the employee.
If there is no End date, you do not need to check this information.
Check the Backpay information if the component has backpay or regular payments. Then fill in the effective rappel date for the component.
Example: If the increase in the Daily Allowance should have occurred 2 months ago. For example, in July, the SK (Decision Letter) only came out in September. Hence, in September employees will receive a new Daily Allowance and Daily Allowance Backpay from July and August. Therefore, the effective date is filled in as September 1, and the payment date is filled in as July 1)
If there is no Backpay for the component, you do not need to check this information.
