This guide will assist you in setting up a lateness formula in deduction.


To setup the lateness formula in deduction, go to Tools > General Maintenance > Deduction.



Users may click onto the Add New button.



After that, set a specific deduction Code and Description for the respective deduction. Once done, click on Formula to setup the formula.



Then fill in the formula as desired. Example: 

IF (LATENESS TIME < 15) 0 ELSE (BASIC RATE / 26 / 8 /60 x LATENESS TIME)

Explanation of deduction formula: 

- If the staff has a lateness time of less than 15 minutes, then there will be no deduction. However, if there is a lateness time of more than 15 minutes, then there will be a deduction, and the deduction amount will vary depending on the lateness time and the basic rate of the staff due to the reason that the formula states that the deduction amount will be calculated based on the employee’s salary by the minute.



Once done, click on Save at the top right corner to save the changes made.



To test the lateness deduction, ensure that the lateness deduction has been assigned to the employee in their respective profile.



Then ensure that there are time attendance details imported into the system.



Then process the payroll by going to Payroll > Process Payroll under Payroll Management.



Select New Payroll Process



Select the Payroll Type, Payroll Period, Employee then select Next.



Then click Process



Deduction will be applied accordingly, click onto the amount to see the breakdown.

The calculation should be: 
RM4100 / 26 / 8 / 60 x 20 = RM6.57
