Understanding HRIS and Its Impact on Payroll & Benefits
A Human Resource Information System (HRIS) is a software solution that simplifies HR processes, including payroll management, benefits administration, and employee records.
Why Does HRIS Make Payroll Easier?
- Automated Payroll Processing – HRIS ensures that salaries, deductions, and taxes are computed accurately, reducing errors and saving time.
- Transparent Payslips – Employees can access detailed breakdowns of their earnings, deductions, and benefits instead of just focusing on their net pay.
- Real-Time Access – Employees can view their payroll data anytime, eliminating the need to wait for printed payslips.
The Components of a Payslip
Understanding your payslip can greatly enhance your financial management. Let’s break down the key components you’ll find on a typical Filipino payslip:
1. Basic Salary:
Your basic salary is the foundation of your earnings, calculated based on your agreed-upon rate and the number of days or hours you’ve worked.
2. Allowances:
Allowances are additional payments on top of your basic salary. Common allowances include:
Covers commuting expenses.
Reimburses daily meal costs.
Assists with housing expenses.
