Transferring Employees Within the City: How Do You Handle Payroll and Documentation?

I am working in the retail sector under the Bombay Shop and Establishment Act in Maharashtra. Recently, a few of our employees were transferred to another branch within the same city in the middle of the month. I have a couple of queries:

1) Where should the salary for that month be processed? (We process payroll on a branch-by-branch basis and not centrally.)

2) Is it necessary to issue a transfer letter for safety and documentation purposes?

Thank you in advance.

Salary Processing for Transferred Employees

1) From where should the salary for that month be processed? We process payroll branch-wise, not centralized. If payroll is processed branch-wise, then why process the salary from the date of joining in the new branch?

Transfer Letter Issuance

2) Should we issue a transfer letter to be safe in this case? If the transfer is for a longer duration, it's better to issue a transfer letter; otherwise, a deputation letter will serve the purpose.
