Overview
Indigo's payroll process works out wages and issues the payment file that is then sent to the bank. To do this correctly, Indigo uses employee and support files, so it is very important that all employees have been set up with the correct Support Files.
Setting up the Payroll
The Payrolls screen lets you view past payrolls and set up new ones. It allows you to define the payroll period, as well as any variables relevant to that payroll.
Setting up the payroll does not start the calculation, but rather sets up the actual roll which we will be working the calculation on.
Go to Payroll & Leave > Main > Payrolls.
In the Payrolls screen, click the insert button to create a new Payroll.
This will open a new form to fill in for your new Payroll.
When you have filled in all of the required fields, click Save.
