Hi,
Payroll is the salary processing system.
Payroll can be seen from two aspects: one is from the HR side, and the other from the commercial people's side. The HR personnel process the payroll by sending attendance details or, better to say, Leave Without Pay (LWP) details and other complete information that an employee is entitled to receive in a particular month.
After receiving these details, the commercial staff start entering them into the payroll software, initiating the salary processing.
While processing the salary for a specific month, we, the HR staff, provide complete LWP (Leave Without Pay) details to the commercial department.
When calculating LWP, we prepare the attendance sheet with the weekly offs. Besides the weekly offs, we check how many days an employee is absent, how many days he was on leave, which we crosscheck with the leave applications. If an employee has submitted an approved leave application, and the leave is available in his account, we mark him on leave.
However, if the individual has not submitted a leave application or has no leave balance, for that day, the employee will be considered absent, and we will deduct his salary accordingly.
Likewise, if there is a provision to provide an extra day's salary for a specific day if the employee shows up, we calculate one day's extra salary for those employees present on that day.
I hope this clarifies the process.

Amit Seth.
