PAYROLL ACCOUTING

What is Payroll Accounting?

Payroll accounting is a method used to calculate aggregate expenditure on wages and salaries of employees incurred by a business in an accounting period. This method of accounting for payroll includes the company’s recording of its employees’ gross wages, salaries, bonuses, commissions and other benefits as well. Payroll accounting distinguishes between employee taxes which are deducted from employees pay and employer taxes which are paid by employers. This accounting also keeps records of employer’s fringe benefits such as health insurance, vacations, paid holidays, workers compensation insurance as well as pension and savings. Payroll not only is responsible for employee’s salary compensation but also plays a vital role in protecting the company’s reputation.

Payroll Accounting Procedure

Payroll accounting helps businesses to ensure that their employees’ receive their pay on time. Here is the procedure on how this is carried out by a business:

TIME REPORTING

There are many tasks involved in payroll accounting but the first task is to collect necessary data regarding the time worked by an employee on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Companies must issue time cards to every individual to record exact working hours of that employee. This helps the accountant to measure the pay of the employee accurately. The task of time reporting also helps a business to curb payroll tax burdens and workers compensation premiums.

PAY COMPUTATION

As payroll accounting is done to calculate the compensation owned to each employee. By knowing the hours worked by an employee and multiplying it with the pay rate, it becomes much easier to calculate the pay of that particular employee. Also review your pay policies and procedure to look for inefficient workflow patter. Changes regarding salary structure and pay grade will be initiated in case of promotion of a worker.

TAX COMPUTATION

Employees must submit payroll tax as well as income tax to its employer so that they fill and submit it to the tax authorities. The accountants hired by a business calculates the exact amount of income tax owned by every employee after the gross compensation owned. Then the total tax collected will be given to the Internal Revenue Service so that there is no tax burden on the business.

OTHER BENEFITS

Many businesses provide their employees with certain benefits such as paid vacations, pensions and many more such things. These things make it more difficult for the company accountant to calculate the payroll amount as most of them get paid for holidays also. Any other contributions offered by the employer must also be done in payroll accounting.

PAY DISTRIBUTION

After every task has been completed, that is, working hours of every employee has been recorded with their income and payroll tax been given to the tax authorities. The net pay is given to every worker in the form of cheques, direct deposit into their accounts or through cash.

IMPORTANCE OF PAYROLL ACCOUNTING

MORALE OF EMPLOYEES

Payroll accounting impacts the morale of the employee as they need to feel assured that they will get paid on a timely basis. When the pay is on time then the employee will be motivated to work more efficiently to get bonuses with their pay but if the pay is late then the employee will feel that the company is not financially stable. This will result in bad performance of employees in q business, so the organisation must keep in mind the importance of its employees.

COMPANY’S REPUTATION

The business must see to it that the payroll activities followed by them are adhering to the tax policies and also complying with employment legislations. The business will uphold its reputation only when they are efficient in meeting tax obligations on time. This will attract more worker in the market to work in the business as the business will provide timely pays to them.

 RE-ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES

Payroll accounting has to be performed regularly to ensure more precise payroll calculations. Payroll can be very time consuming, so it needs more resources to work with and regular activities help the business to know the required resources. As payroll is now automated, it allows organisations to save on costs in the long run. Furthermore, it frees up valuable resources for the organisation to focus on other business activities.

It is advised for any new business that they should take help from a financial consultant as there are many laws regarding payroll accounting. This will help them to stay out of trouble and also to devote their time on something else. An efficient payroll department reflects the organisation’s way of working and how they respect their workforce.

8 tips on how to retain the best of your employees

Gapeseed Consulting emphasizes on Employee Motivation, Engagement and Appreciation as the prime factor in retaining an organisational culture. Any culture is defined by the people, the employees and the teams. And to turn people into employees and then team, you need to create a culture and the following tips shall help:

• Reward, Recognition and Appreciation

If an employee works up to the standard, or does something out of the box for organizational benefit, he / she in return expects and deserves appreciation. This appreciation could be done in the form of rewards, like increments, trophies, bonus, monetary awards, additional perks. The employee should get due recognition for the hard work and dedication.

• Equitable treatment

Every employee, working on the same level, putting the same amount of effort deserves equal opportunities and equal treatment. For example, if in an organisation, ‘A’ is paid more than ‘B’, working on the same level because he’s connected to the senior, it will automatically pull B’s morale down. If there’s any discrimination against an employee, he would probably start finding other opportunities for growth.

• Proper Supervision

People leave managers and supervisors more often than they leave companies or jobs. The expectations for employees should be well defined to prevent confusions and agony in the future.
There should be clarity about expectations,earning potential,feedback about performance, scheduled meetings.

• Freedom of expression

Any employee wouldn’t want to leave an organization where he is free to express his thoughts and ideas, sometimes employees can come up with brilliant strategies and ideas and when they are left unheard or ignored, it lowers the employees morale. Their expression can prove to be very beneficial.

• Don’t threaten employees’ job or income

A threat to an employee’s job or income makes him feel as if he needs to search for a new platform to exploit his potential. Under any circumstances, this shouldn’t be done to the hardworking and dedicated employees.

• Clean out the dead weight

This sounds tough, but works for an organization’s benefit. There may be people in the organisation who hold other employees back in certain ways like negativity, unethical work, politics, gossips etc. Great people need to work with other great people. Do the hard work of removing those who slow everyone else and the organisation down.

• Friendly Competition

Employees can be put into friendly competition; this could be done by building teams and framing equal time spans for completion of certain tasks. These tasks could fetch the employees awards in form of monetary rewards, trophies etc. Such competitions, help employees work harder to increase their potential and opportunities.

• Above market Standard Rate

When some employees work beyond their boundaries, beyond their comfort for the benefit of the firm, they deserve more than the rate established by the market. This doesn’t imply that they need to be given sky high salaries, somewhere 20%-30% above the standard rate for the job so that they value doing it in the firm.

The above are 8 tips to retain the best of your employees, the same can be picked individually or one at a time. The idea is to make stronger and more approachable workplaces by creating an appropriate environment.

What Are The Things Great Managers Do Differently?

Have you tried to prove yourself as a good manager? Do you sometimes feel you need to get the best out of your position and those working with you?

Here are 7 tips on how you can exploit your subordinates’ and your own potential to the fullest.

• Discover your employees’ strengths It’s very important to know when people are clearly enjoying what they’re doing. Their talents, their values, their hard work, their interests, their distractions, everything plays an important role in assessing an employees strengths and what are they more likely to do better. This way, they could enjoy the work they do for the mutual benefit of the employee and the organisation.

• Offer guidance for their development All the work assigned to the employees should regularly be checked, and any guidance sought should be offered to them. The employees should be focused more on their strengths, and on developing them. It is the duty of the manager to check on it and offer help as and when required for development. If they had the opportunity to do what they do best each day, what would they be doing more of? What development support, on-the-job experiences, coaching or training, off the job trainings might they need to develop these strengths further? These are some important things you should keep in mind for their overall developments based on their strengths.

• Give strength-based feedback – You should look at how your employees are using their strengths for their duties. Tell them when you’re proud of good results that you get after they apply their strengths. Help them to understand when they’re overplaying a strength and how to dial it back in these moments. Encourage them to stop underplaying specific strengths when you see them hesitating or holding themselves back. Your feedbacks play a crucial role in their development.

• Set Clear expectations – The outcome of work, from every input should be pre planned and well defined. Every employee under you must know what is expected out of their work in a defined time period. If this is not clearly defined and agreed upon both ways, there will be lots of confusion when the deadline comes, the atmosphere in the work place would prove to be against benefits and you’ll find unhappy faces and blame games all over the place. This is why it’s very important to discuss in detail with the whole team and clarify wherever needed.

• Identify Uniqueness – Great Managers try to learn what is that one thing which is unique about every employee and work on it. They tend to use the unique factor for the benefit of the organisation.Everyone is good at something. It helps improve the over all productivity in work place with satisfaction. Such identification works wonders if done with each and every employee in any environment.

• Appreciate Subordinates – Some managers are quite reluctant to appreciate their subordinates because they think it will make them overconfident and complacent. But, this is opposed to what is the ideal way of treating and behaving with subordinates. For development and confidence boost, they need appreciation, recognition and appraisal from time to time when they do work that demands these. Everybody likes to get appreciated for the things that they do.Excellence needs praise. Great Managers never make it too late to appreciate.

• Care about subordinates – If you are a manager, you need to take care of people you’re managing. Sometimes, your employees might have certain personal problems coming in the way of organizational duties, you need to care for them, and understand the circumstances through which they are going. They might need an extra leave, they might need your inspirational and motivational words when they are morally down, they might need a boost when things are not going on well and so on.If you prove to be a good manager in this respect, so will they turn out to be good employees.

Employee’s Provident Fund is a scheme which helps in providing financial assistance to the workers by saving their own money for future use after retirement.

The employees and their employers have to contribute a fixed amount of money from their salaries at a constant rate within a particular time interval in the Provident Fund to get interests after retirement. When the Provident Fund matures, it provides a good return and interest of the invested money as the money received will be Tax-free. The Employees Provident Fund can also be used before retirement in case of an emergency such as when a person is unfit for employment, this provides a type of monetary security to the employee. This scheme is growing at an increasing speed and is backed by many intellectual people in the business and finance industry.

• When a person becomes the member of this scheme, they have to contribute 12% of their rewards in the Employees Provident Fund.

BENEFITS

Insurance

In most of the organisations employee’s insurance schemes are not available to the employees of the company, Employees Provident Fund provides that scheme for the security and stability of the employee in the future. For getting insured, the business entity just need to provide a sum of Rs.6500 on a monthly basis to ensure an insurance premium benefit. Insurance helps an employee in case of an emergency, also provides a good amount of money after maturity for the survival of their family.

Pension

When an employee has retired, and does not have any source of monetary income, pension provides that source for the employee. A part of the employees pay also goes into the Employee’s Pension Fund, which provides an employee a sense of security after retirement.

Tax Free

Upon maturity of the Employees Provident Fund, the interest received by the employee’s will be tax free. This results in proper stability and security of employees as they get vast interest on their invested amount.

Financial Security

The Employees Provident Fund provides financial security for the employees at the time of retirement, emergencies and at loss of income. Employees Provident Fund provides a source of financial assistance to the retired personnel as well as gives funds to the employee to meet their requirements in case of an emergency, early drawings are allowed only in case of an emergency. When an employee cannot work, or has any disability to work, provident fund helps them to overcome their loss of income and provides means to survive. Also, if the employee has passed away then the funds are passed on to their applicant to provide them with financial assistance.

An employee can withdraw their money only when they are unemployed, self-employed or have left the current job to work in another company. In case of any emergency, an employee can withdraw the amount in its provident fund before the time of maturity. Pre-mature withdrawal can also be treated as a loan as an employee can use the money for education, marriage, medical expenses. These withdrawals must not be more than 50% of the amount in the provident fund.

Transfer

An employee can also transfer its provident fund account rather than closing it whenever they are leaving their current job and joining a new employer. Transferring of the funds from an old account to a new one is a better option because if an account is closed before 5 years then the money contributed in that account will then become tax deductible whereas by transferring of funds, an employee will get the money in full at maturity.

Simple Tips to Design a Salary Structure for an Employee

Having an absolute salary structure makes it easier to manage your salary expenditure. Not to mention, it can help you retain your current employees, as well as make your recruiting, hiring and promoting efforts more focused and easier to execute.

If you’re considering creating a salary structure, here are a few tips to help you get started.

Benchmark jobs

It should start from here, you need to know the value of each position you offer in your organization. Know the market, know your competition and see what others are paying for similar jobs. There are a variety available salary survey sources that can provide you with data related to salary information for various positions and different industries. You could easily know about benchmark jobs, but this mostly works out for jobs in which duties and responsibilities are generally defined. Once you have identified the benchmark jobs you can compare the market rate according to your budget, you could use statistical procedures to plan it up. Or you can simple get in touch with our HR department.

Consider company’s competitive position

The competitive position of company is its overall salary level compared to market average when compared with the benchmark jobs. This helps you answer if the salary rates for your employees currently above, below or comparable to the rates of your competitors. You should decide what competitive position suits best to your company. Some other things which could be solved by doing this could be if you need to pay at a higher-than- market level so to retain your current employees? Pay according to the market level which attracts better quality candidates or pay according to your budget.

Set-up compensable leverage

Compensable leverage refers to how much more or less salary rate increases in your company, overall, compared to the market rate increase for higher-paid positions in the organizational hierarchy. See this for an example, when employees are promoted to a higher position within the organization, will they receive an increase in salary rate that is similar to, greater than or less than the rate increase provided, on average, in the market. It’s important to determine the desired compensable leverage for your company. This will allow you strike a balance between providing attractive salary increases to employees for promotional opportunities and maintaining an affordable salary practice.

Develop a salary structure

Now that you have the data from the market and your internal and external resources together using this information, you can develop the salary structure for your company. You should also decide if you want to offer a specific salary range – with a minimum and maximum rate – for each position, or if you want to create pay grades in which multiple positions with similar market rates are grouped together within the same range.

Get your current employees up to par

Once you have established a salary structure, possibly with pay grades, then you’ll want to look at your current employees’ salary rates compared to the range to see if anyone is being paid below the minimum rate or above the maximum rate. This involves determining whether the salary rates of any employees should be adjusted to achieve market alignment to have competitive position as created through the structure. If an employee is being paid below the range minimum, it’s recommended that you increase the salary rate, either immediately or incrementally over time, until it hits the minimum rate. If an employee is being paid above the range maximum then it’s recommended that you suspend the person’s next salary increase until market movement warrants an adjustment.

Sometimes these practices are acceptable if the positions in question have a significantly greater or less of strategic importance to an organization than it has to competitors. You’ll want to do a systematic analysis of all of these things mentioned in above steps. This will help you have a good basis for creating your salary structure.

Benefits of HR and Payroll Software

A critical part of any organization is managing the human resource functions and payrolls of employees, whether it’s a small firm or a big business house.

And to manage proper functioning of HR and Payroll procedures, companies require appropriate technology whether hardware or software. It’s often a misconception that small business can do away with such a system but since the net worth of a company and its taxation is affected by the payroll of the employees, data integrity and accuracy is vital as they are subjected to audits from the law of the land. Hence the size of the company doesn’t matter.

What if a small business can’t afford to shell out money on the latest software?

What if making a purchase is going to have a major impact on the balance sheet?

Despite budget restrictions and limited IT resources, small businesses still need to centralize workflows and be efficient. To help you out with such a dilemma, we will not only discuss about the benefits of having standard HR/Payroll software but we’ll also help you pick the best for small business in this post.

 

Benefits for HR and Payroll software to regulate the functioning of HR and Payroll procedures:

Manages Task

With the help of automated software, calculating the payroll of employees gets not only easy but logical programming gives results within few clicks. The task could otherwise get lot complicated if done manually as it involves lot of procedures – calculating the productive hours of the employees, calculating tax, deductions, documentation of employee leaves, attendance etc.

Manages Time

Manual inputs and payroll calculations for each and every employee is often a time consuming process. Whereas the software automated system does the backend calculations and produces periodic reports and pay checks in no time whatsoever.

Adds Accuracy

Manual inputs and management of data is not only time consuming but can also invite errors. Having HR and Payroll software assures that the data is 100% accurate and the data integrity is maintained at all levels. One can rely on the information to make better decisions based upon it.

Safeguards Data

Another advantage or rather benefit for HR and Payroll software is that it has tools which restrict the accessibility to the software. Once can set up visibility parameters to allow selected persons to access the data which reduces the risk of misuse of critical information.

 

Key HR/Payroll Software Features

HR/Payroll software can help to increase the productivity of small businesses by automating administrative tasks, record-keeping and by giving HR coordinators tools to find and keep the best talent. There are many different ways to package standard software. Beyond deployment models, there are three primary classes of HR software structured around usage:

    • Core HR: Helps businesses perform the administrative functions of managing a workforce—payroll, benefits administration, time and attendance tracking, workforce planning, and regulatory compliance. Employees can also access their work-related data and enter updates and requests which form an integral feature for most core systems.
    • Strategic HR: This solution mostly addresses recruitment, performance management, training and development, and succession planning. Some solution may even be customized to address a specific aspect of talent management, such as the hiring process.
    • Integrated HR suites: This solution provides end-to-end functionality across most or all areas of management including administrative aspects as well as recruitment, talent management, and e-learning of management systems. Some product suites are sold in modules, so one can purchase them according to the specific need of the company.

7 Qualities for Recruitment Process Outsourcing

 

Hiring the right recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) provider is a major organizational decision, one that will have a direct impact on your organization’s talent. If you’re not sure exactly how to hire the right Recruitment Process Outsourcing provider, you’re not alone. The other day we headed to a mall just to grab some quick bite on our way back from a meeting.

Our ‘Happy Hour’ moment was soon put to an end after my teammate took the first bite of his burger. Apparently he is allergic to mayonnaise and he specifically asked to do away with it while ordering. When he went to complaint about it, the boy who took his order bluntly replied that they can never make these kinds of mistakes. Anybody would get furious to such comment and my teammate wasn’t any different. After much argument, the manager came forward to apologize for the whole situation and made the boy do the same. Later we learnt that the boy has joined only a couple of weeks back and he has made such mistakes for over a couple of times. Now post this incident, I don’t know whether the boy was fired but the outlet definitely lost two of his customers – me and my team member.

There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing an RPO provider. Zeroing down to the right one is a good challenge. In my years of involvement in the RPO industry, we have been able to identify some key considerations companies should take when hiring an RPO.

They Do the Homework, Customize & Train

A reputed brand definitely needs the right provider who can assess the skills of the employee, train them accordingly and then make the right placement. If they keep hiring people who don’t fit the requirement, the outcome could be worst for any given brand or organisation. So picking up the right RPO is as important as getting the right people to work for your business.

You need to ascertain that the agency is not offering existing packages, they are doing the homework to understand your business and the consumer insights before giving an RPO proposal for your business.

Good packages come at a good price

Although price is a significant factor in hiring an RPO provider, it definitely shouldn’t be a deterrent. The RPO experience is based on improving any current hiring weaknesses in the company while playing to the company’s strengths. The price is simply what you pay in order for you to ultimately see greater returns when all is said and done. What you should consider is how much more effective and efficient an RPO will make your hiring process. When an RPO provider brings the proper resources and experience to bear on your recruiting process, you should expect overall improvement and a significant return on your investment.

Not just a provider, work like partners

The provider can’t just work alone. The relation between your company and the provider must be like partners. Though you may not get an opportunity to get actively involved in the recruitment but you must follow up regularly. The system of the provider should be flexible enough so that it lets you sit with their team to discuss the situation, work out a schedule and do regular reporting and reviews. You can’t leave outsourcing firms hanging; you must make sure you are there with them like partners.

Security check for a secured process

Since you will be sharing confidential business information with the provider, checking on security is something that you must foremost find out. Ask for a detailed description of how they have protected their facility from outside intrusion; ask if they have a recovery plan in case of a security breach. Find out about the firewall and other security measures taken by the provider. Also ensure if the provider’s data center is staffed with qualified, experienced and committed resources.

Specific services for specific needs

You need to asses if the RPO provider is simply trying to sell you their services by over promising or if they are genuinely committed to tailoring their services to meet your unique needs. The best way to evaluate a prospective service provider is to examine their service track record from multiple perspectives. You can get in touch with the provider’s existing customers if their needs were accommodated. Before bringing them on board, check if they demonstrate a willingness to clarify your needs and map those onto their service offerings.

Know about customer satisfaction directly from customers

You can always request the service provider to provide you with their customer list either former or existing. After receiving the contacts, you can speak to those customers who have a similar industry profile/business needs as yours. Request them for detailed and honest feedback about the provider’s strengths and weaknesses. Find out how satisfied they were with the provider’s service levels and systems management expertise. If everything falls in place as you expected, you can take you decision easily.

Structure out the infrastructure

In order to find out how reliable a provider is, get information about their infrastructure, technology partners, internet providers, data centre etc. Even making an on–site visit can give you confidence in the provider’s management expertise and physical infrastructure. You can also ask details about the provider’s quality assurance methodologies, procedures and processes in order to find how scale able they are.

Hope this post will help you find the right RPO provider for your firm. The other way to find the right one is to get in touch with us. We at Gapeseed, not only fit well into the above mentioned considerations but we keep working on our skills to keep pace with the growing demand.

Payroll Services in Delhi NCR

Every business owner is faced with the option of doing payroll in-house or outsourcing to a payroll service provider. While each has its advantages, outsourcing payroll seems to be a common choice for both large and small businesses. Reason being – it saves cost and increases efficiency. Once you outsource the service, the providers can manage the tedious task of running payroll whereas you and your employees can focus on business growth.

In simple words the purpose of any payroll system is to standardize the process of paying employees and organize everything for tax purposes. Now, to choose the best payroll service for your business can be a difficult task. Because the type of payroll service that works best for each company depends on the needs and circumstances of the business. Some payroll providers can accommodate large companies with hundreds of accounts, while others are focused more on small businesses and limit the number of accounts they work with. So you should consider parameters like the cost involved, the reputation or status of the provider and the services it will provide.
However with so many options to choose from, finding the right one can be overwhelming. So to help you out in best way possible, Gapeseed comes as a rescuer. Our motto is very simple – We prioritize our client’s needs.

Check out the Benefits of Payroll Services

Save Cost: The most important aspect of any business is cost saving. So, in addition to reducing the probability of costly penalties, hiring Gapeseed to manage your payroll module can save you money in lot many ways. The price that you will be investing for training purposes or for labour may add up more than the price of outsourcing. And there’s no guarantee involved. Whereas if you hire us, you and your team can concentrate more on the business growth while we take care of the rest. We will also be involved in taking full responsibility for any mishap and you can feel confident, mistakes (if any at all) will even be taken care of.
Increase Productivity: Now, once you avail the service, you don’t have to involve any of your internal team members to process payroll, which means you not only save on cost, but also time. The team member can actually get involved into doing something productive rather than spending time on keeping track of employees’ wages and fees, processing paychecks and records etc.

Faster Processing: We hire experts of the industry when it comes to payroll rules and requirements. We also have advanced technical resources as support, so we can complete complex payrolls quickly and accurately. Be it paying the wages or reviewing employee contribution and deduction, all are taken care systematically. This also includes adding new employees to the system and removing former employees as soon as they leave the company.
Reduce Compliance Issues: Payroll tax regulations can be complicated and confusing. When trying to concentrate on running a business successfully, it may be difficult to stay up with all the tax rules and changes. Yet it is very important to keep a track as inaccurate payroll reporting can result in penalties from the government. Gapeseed can help you prevent compliance issues. Our systems are upgraded with up-to-date information on all tax rules and therefore reduce inaccuracy of any sort. In addition, we also handle filings, taxes and payments, and other such complexities.

There are many details and factors to consider in each of these processes and the easiest way to tackle all of them is to hire a professional payroll service provider. And to do so it’s advisable to hire the best among the rest.
