Can employees switch their tax regime during the financial year?
Yes, pPULSE supports old and new regime selection. Regime choice follows statutory rules, employees typically declare their preference at the start of the financial year or as permitted by company policy, and TDS is computed against the chosen regime.
What happens if payroll is reviewed and an issue is found?
A payroll run cannot be finalized until it clears the 3-tier approval workflow (HR, then Finance, then CEO). If a reviewer spots a problem at any tier, the run can be rejected and sent back, so it stays in review until the issue is resolved and re-approved.
Can salary structures differ across departments or locations?
Yes. You can build multiple salary structures with their own allowances, deductions, and custom components, then assign the right structure per contract, so different roles, grades, departments, or locations can run on different structures.
How are PF and ESIC handled every month?
pPULSE computes PF, ESI, professional tax, and TDS each cycle using statutory thresholds and rates, with old and new regime support, and produces statutory liability figures you can use for reconciliation. It does not file returns or generate statutory challans for you, the actual filing stays with your payroll or compliance team.
How are loans or salary advances handled in payroll?
Loans and advances are tracked as loan accounts, and the repayment is taken as a recurring deduction in payroll over subsequent cycles until the balance is cleared.
What happens if a salary revision is approved after payroll has already run?
A backdated revision can be entered against the employee and the revised components are picked up in the next payroll run. The catch-up amount for the affected period is reviewed and included in that run rather than computed retroactively on its own.
Is full and final settlement processed separately from regular payroll?
It runs through the same payroll system rather than a separate one. Leave encashment runs through payroll with its own approval workflow, while pending dues, reimbursements, and any recoveries the employee owes, like outstanding loans, advances, or unreturned assets, are compiled together. HR reviews the complete settlement before it is processed.
