2. Facing some trouble with employee’s PF deductions

Step 1: Log into the cloud portal and go to the ‘Settings’ menu. Under the ‘Payroll’ tab click on the ‘Salary Components’ subtab. Select the ‘Deductions’ option and then click on the ‘+’ icon.

Step 2: Enter the ‘Field Name’, as ‘PF Amount’ select ‘Behaviour’ as ‘Include Gross Deductions’ and click on the ‘Save’ Button.

Step 3: Again, in the ‘Settings’ menu, under the ‘Payroll’ tab, go to the ‘Salary Components’ subtab and click on the ‘Deduction Formula’ section.

Step 4: Scroll down to find the ‘PF Amount’ component, click on the 3 dots in front of it, select the ‘Edit’ option and a pop-up will open.

Step 5: From the ‘Direct or Percent’ drop-down select ‘Percent’.

Step 6: A few more fields will appear, fill in the values in the respective fields as given below.

  • From the ‘Rounding’ drop-down select ‘1 Rupee’

  • In the ‘Percent’ field enter the value as ‘12’

  • In the ‘Maximum’ field enter the value as ‘12’

  • From the ‘Earnings’ list select the ‘Earned Basic’

Click on the ‘Save’ Button.

Step 7: Next, go to the employee’s profile for whom you were facing issues with PF deductions. Click on the ‘Payroll’ tab and select ‘Monthly Input’ subtab. Select ‘Month’ and ‘Year’ then click on the ‘Save’ button.

Step 8: Now, go to the ‘Settings’ menu and under the ‘Payroll’ tab click on the ‘Payroll Process’ subtab. Select ‘Month’, and ‘Year’. Tick the necessary checkboxes and click on the ‘Process Payroll’ button and payroll will be processed with the PF Deduction.

Step 9: To check PF deductions, go to the employee’s profile again, under the ‘Salary’ tab, click on the ‘Salary Details’ subtab, and here you can check ‘PF Deductions’.

For example,

PF calculation if EB (Earned Basic) is more than 15000

As this calculation was based on the salary which is more than ₹15000 hence PF is calculated as 15000*12/100 = ₹1800.

PF calculation if the EB (Earned Basic) is less than 15000

For this, you need to follow all the steps mentioned above for the payroll process, but only the PF amount will change & it will be calculated on Earned Basic (EB) 11500.

EB 11500 * 12/100 = PF Amount 1416 ₹.

Step 10: If you want to view or make changes in the PF settings you should go to the ‘Settings’ menu, under the ‘Payroll’ tab, select ‘Pay Settings’ and then select the ‘PF Setting’ option. You can make the desired changes here and click on the ‘Save’ button.
