On what parameters does Loss of Pay (LOP) get impacted?

Loss of Pay (LOP) on a payslip shows that the employee has lost pay for the number of days they have been off work. Following are the 3 parameters on which LOP gets impacted:

1. When an employee raises an Unpaid Leave request
2. In Penalization Policy, when the option Consider all Penalties as Loss of Pay is enabled.
3. LOP Overrides

How does unpaid leave affect LOP?

1. Navigation:
   Me → Leave → Request Leave

• When an employee applies for an Unpaid Leave, it automatically adds to LOP in payroll.

• The unpaid leave type must be part of the leave plan assigned to the employee.

  

How do penalties trigger LOP?

1. Navigation:
   Time Attend → Attendance Tracking → Penalization Policy → Versions → Edit

   

• In Basic Information, under Penalty Deduction & Buffer Period, enable the option:
  “Loss of Pay (Consider all Penalties as Loss of Pay)”

• This converts all applicable penalties into LOP deductions.

  

How can I override LOP directly in payroll?

Navigation:
Payroll → Run Payroll → Select Pay Group → Leaves, Attendance & Daily Wages

• Use Add Employee to manually enter LOP days for an employee.

  

• For multiple employees, use Import LOP Days:

  • Download the Excel template.

  • Fill required fields (red-marked headers are mandatory).

  • Upload the completed file back in the system.

    

Note:
LOP overrides made here do not appear in leave history or leave reports—they are visible only during payroll processing.
