Payslips calculated, checked, then approved
Each employee has a salary profile: salary, allowances, charges, hourly rates, payment details. Generating a month picks the right employees and calculates each line; each payslip can be read, corrected, approved or rejected, then downloaded. One-off bonuses and deductions go through adjustments, over one month or spread over several. Teachers paid by the hour have their monthly hours, taken from checked-in and validated lessons and reviewed before generation.
Cameroon's deductions and returns
The Cameroon scale supplied with the software covers IRPP, CAC, TDL, RAV, employee and employer CFC, FNE and CNPS, with their ceilings. The school's own calculation rules remain adjustable: contributory and taxable share of each allowance, base and rate of each charge, attachable portion of pay. The month's CNPS return is laid out as the portal sums it up, and the DIPE gives one line per employee with the charges to pay. The payroll book exports to Excel.
Paying salaries and tracking cost
Each approved salary is paid in batches from an account or a cash desk, with proof, receipt and accounting entries. The transfer order lists what remains to be paid, by bank transfer, by Mobile Money or at the cash desk. Salary advances are requested, approved, paid through GO4SXPENSE and then recovered on payslips; loans and wage garnishments are deducted from net pay. A simulator shows what a payslip would look like without writing anything to payroll.
Payroll for a group of schools
In a group of schools, payroll keeps a single record per person, even when they work in several schools, and shows which school bears each salary. A salary grid sets the base salary of each category and step across the group and flags records outside the grid. Payroll cost is read school by school over the financial year, with the wage bill budget set against actual spending.
