4.2 Payroll Settings

The Payroll Settings section contains payroll configuration parameters used throughout the payroll process. These settings define the hourly rates and financial calculations applied when generating employee payroll.

• OTHER – Other miscellaneous rate (e.g., 0.00).
• ACTION – Edit button to modify the configuration values.

The page includes standard table controls: an entries-per-page dropdown (set to 10 by default), a search bar, an Export button, and pagination controls showing "Showing 1 to 1 of 1 entries" with Previous and Next navigation buttons.

Modifying Payroll Settings

To update the payroll configuration values, click the Edit button (pencil icon) in the Action column. This opens the edit form where you can modify the OT/HR, PH/HR, REST/HR, ECF, LOAN, and OTHER rate values. After making the necessary changes, click Submit to save the updated settings. These configuration values will be applied to all future payroll calculations across the system.
