When processing payroll for employees, you will see these checkboxes showing up. These small checkboxes are either being checked or unchecked based on the pay item chosen for processing in payroll:
When a specific pay item is chosen for processing in payroll, based on the nature of the pay item, the system will automatically tick the relevant statutory checkboxes required.
Below is a quick summary of what each ticked checkbox means for the pay item amounts being processed:
If EPF is ticked - the system will include the pay item amounts in EPF calculations
If SOCSO is ticked - the system will include the pay item amounts in SOCSO calculations
If EIS is ticked - the system will include the pay item amounts in EIS calculations
If Tax is ticked - the system will include the pay item amounts in tax reporting and calculations (PCB, Form EA and Form E)
If HRDF is ticked - the system will include the pay item amounts in HRDF calculations
Do I Need to Manually Tick the Statutory Checkboxes?
The checkboxes are automatically checked based on the employee's Immigration Status which is set when creating their profile.
The system uses this information to determine which checkboxes to tick when processing the employee's payroll.
It is important to correctly set up your employees' immigration status before processing their first payroll. This ensures that checkboxes related to their status are correctly marked during processing.
This does not mean that you cannot manually uncheck or check the checkboxes. You are still able to modify these marks as needed for your situation. π
