How to release the salary that has been withheld

Organizations are responsible for paying their employees' salaries periodically, as per statutory requirements. However, in certain situations where an employee is absent or in the notice period, the employer may decide to hold their salary. In such cases, the employer must release the salary in a later month, either as arrears or as regular salary. Keka offers the option to choose how to release the held salary.

To release the salary of an employee that has been withheld, follow the steps below:

Log in to the Keka portal and click on the Payroll tab on the left pane. 

Click on the Run Payroll tab and then, scroll down to find the Run Payroll section.

 Under Run Payroll, find and click on Salaries on Hold & Arrears.

On the next window that opens, click on +Add Employee (1) and add the name of the employee whose salary has been withheld. Next, click on the drop-down (2) under Pay Action and choose Process as salary. Now, click Save & Continue (3).
