Respected Seniors,
Greetings for the day! I am working as an HR Executive in an IT company in Chandigarh. I am the only HR in the company, and I have encountered problems in the payroll process.
Understanding Payroll Concepts
Please help me with a detailed practical concept of payroll—what it is, its rules, components, and more. How should salaries be prepared, including PF, ESI, deductions, and all related aspects?
I would be extremely grateful for your kindness and assistance in this matter.
Regards,
From India, Gurgaon
