Salaries & Payroll

Overview

The Salaries page allows you to process monthly payroll for all firm employees. It records gross salary, deductions, and bonuses, calculates net pay, and maintains a complete payment history per employee.

Employee Salary List

The employee list shows each staff member with their base monthly salary as configured in their HR profile. The list is organised by department (Partners, Associates, Paralegals, Admin).

Recording a Salary Payment

1. Click Record Payment next to the employee, or click Run Payroll to process all employees at once.
2. Confirm or adjust the Base Salary for the month.
3. Enter any Deductions (absences, advances repaid, etc.) with a reason for each.
4. Enter any Bonuses with a reason (performance bonus, overtime, etc.).
5. The system calculates Net Amount = Base Salary + Bonuses − Deductions.
6. Select the Payment Date and Payment Method (bank transfer or cash).
7. Click Confirm Payment. The amount is deducted from the Treasury automatically.

Payment History by Employee

Click on any employee name to open their payment history, showing every month's base salary, deductions, bonuses, net amount, payment date, and payment method. Use this view during annual reviews or to respond to employee queries.

Monthly Payroll Summary

The summary at the bottom of the page shows the total payroll cost for the selected month, broken down by department. This figure feeds directly into the Accountant Dashboard's monthly expense KPI.
