These settings include some settings related to how pay slips are configured, adding opening and closing statements for the full and final document and some miscellaneous settings which dictate how salary components are paid and HRA calculation.
Let's look at how these settings can be configured for a pay group.
To edit these settings, navigate to Payroll from the left pane and select the Settings tab.
On the Pay Groups tab, find the pay group you want to configure the salary structures for if you have multiple pay groups configured, and click the Configure icon.
Here, select the Other Settings tab to edit the various details we are discussing.
Managing pay slip settings
The admin will have an option to customize the payslip that an employee sees or receives. The payslip can be customized as per the company's policy and enables them to show only relevant information on the payslip.

Click on the three dots on the page and select Update Settings from the drop-down to begin editing the settings.
Once you click on "Update Settings" option, a pop-up will open allowing you to update the payslip preferences as shown below

Selecting this option adds another column to the pay slip with additional salary information. You can choose between the Year-To-Date column which shows the total salary that has been paid out to the employee in the year so far. You can also choose to include the actual gross amount of the component that is defined as per the salary structure that has been assigned.

Payslip password protection
You can choose to password-protect the payslips that the employees download from the portal by toggling the button next to this option. If you enable passwords, the PAN number of the employees in the upper case will be set as the password if they want to access the payslip.
Payslip Customization
You can further customize the structure and the fields on the payslip using the options here.
The first thing to focus on here is the payslip structure.
You can choose between 2 structures - Earnings, Contributions and Deductions or Earnings and Deductions.
If you choose Earnings, Contributions and Deductions, the payslip will have 3 sections - The Earnings section where the various salary components are detailed, the Contributions section which contains the various information about statutory contributions made, and the Deductions section which gives details of the deductions such as Income Tax and Professional Tax as well as other deductions if applicable.
If you choose the Earnings and Deductions format, the payslip will contain 2 sections. The contributions and deductions applicable will both be included in the deduction section.
You can preview both these formats by clicking on Preview Template.
Choose the template you want to go with. You can make changes to the template at any time and the changed format will be used starting from the next payroll cycle.
Payslip fields
Finally, the last configuration you have is to select the various fields that you want to be shown on the payslip.
You can see the various fields available on the left side and the fields that will appear on the payslip on the right side. Drag and drop items you want to be added to the payslip from the left pane to the right pane. You can also select the order in which these fields appear based on where you place the field on the right pane.
