Driver payroll is a feature that enables you to keep track of your driver attendance and create salary statements. This section centralises information from the below mentioned categories to calculate driver payroll.
1 - My Drivers (Salary, allowance, deductions)
2 - Petty Cash
3 - Vehicle Fuel
4 - Duty specific Billing Items
Once the above four sections are set up, you can calculate your drivers’ salary statements correctly on a monthly basis. Let’s start by understanding how to set up the above 4 sections before we begin using Driver Payroll-
Setup:
Make sure you have set up the drivers’ profiles in the My Drivers section with all information related to timings, allowances and deductions.
If you have provided a driver with Petty Cash whether it is credit or debit, the calculation will be visible in the drivers payroll statement for the month.
Tip: Petty cash transactions can also be added at a duty level
While creating a vehicle fuel entry if it is marked as Paid By Driver the amount will be added to the driver’s payroll statement for the month.
Billing items that are applied to a duty for the month will be visible on the driver payroll statement.
