Payroll Cycle

All Groups

A payroll cycle is the timeline your team follows to pay employees each month. It usually starts with collecting attendance, leaves, and bonuses. Then come the deductions — like PF, TDS, ESI. Once the numbers are final, payslips are generated and salaries are transferred.

Most companies in India follow a monthly cycle, but some follow semi-monthly or weekly formats. The key is consistency. A good payroll tool keeps the cycle tight — with auto-reminders, approval flows, and report generation that keeps HR on track.
