Payroll & compliance

Payroll that can't skip a step

Every Kvcare HRMS run moves through the same six stamps. A locked run can be reopened for a correction until salaries go out; once it's paid it's final, and any later correction comes through as arrears.

The run

Six stamps, in order

Scroll to run October's payroll. It can't calculate until attendance is locked, and once it's paid it can't change at all.

Safeguards

Checks before anyone approves

Kvcare HRMS stops the mistakes that usually surface after payday.

Attendance gate

The run won't calculate until every site in scope has finalised and locked its month.

Variance

Month-on-month changes are flagged per employee before review.

Negative net pay

Anyone whose deductions exceed earnings is listed before approval.

Compliance check

Statutory deductions are checked against the rules for the period.

Minimum wage

Pay is checked against the minimum wages you configure.

Joiners and leavers

Mid-month joiners are prorated from their joining date.

Compliance

The statutory engine

Each rule is stored with the dates it applies from and to. A payroll always uses the rule that was in force for its period, and a new government rate is a dated setting, not a software release.
