process<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>payroll process in HR<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> requires a record management process, which must document any selections for benefits and retirement needs. And with the information that these records provide, you can accurately calculate payroll deductions during the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, keeping an employee record that includes <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">employment contracts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, employee <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">handbooks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, tax forms, and training requires other things. For example, these documents must be signed and stored for compliance purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, you should use a strategy to handle your employee record management and <\/span>process payroll easily. And some of the best types of employee record-keeping methods that you can use are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Paper files:<\/strong> this method consists of storing physical employee documents and locking them away in a secure storage area. Although many companies still use this method, it is slowly turning into an obsolete option due to technological advances.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cloud-based document storage:<\/strong> most employers are opting for maintaining cloud-based documents instead of paper files. This method allows you to access documents anytime and anywhere, you will only need internet access. Besides, this option is far more secure and reduces compliance and security risks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Onsite servers:<\/strong> another option that you can use is having a private, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">computer-backed system<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to store data. And just like the previous option, it will allow you to get rid of physical paperwork and storage space. Nonetheless, you will still need computer hardware space and secure storage facilities as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>2.3 Third step: Determine the pay frequency or pay schedules<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have completed the previous steps of the <\/span><b>payroll management process<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you will now need to determine this element. The pay frequency that you can offer to your employees can vary. In fact, there are four main pay schedules that you can use to pay your employees, which are the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Weekly:<\/strong> in this case, the total number of pay periods will be 52. And it can run payroll, for example, every Thursday.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Biweekly:<\/strong> this is another pay schedule that involves 26 pay periods. A calendar example, in this case, could be every 2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and 4<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thursday.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Semi-monthly:<\/strong> you can also opt for paying your employees on the 15<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and 31<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of every month. This payment frequency has a total number of pay periods of 24.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Monthly:<\/strong> lastly, you can also pay your employees on a monthly basis, which means that there will be 12 pay periods.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>2.4 Fourth step: Track time and attendance when calculating payroll<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking time and attendance will be a vital factor during the <\/span><b>payroll process<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well. In fact, the hours that your employees worked will determine most part of their employee pay. And the best to track time and attendance is by streamlining this process, so you can ensure that all worked hours are paid accurately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, keep in mind to track other time-related elements, such as breaks, lunches, accruals, and many others. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to accurately calculate the amount of money that your employees will receive, and they could be underpaid or overpaid. Therefore, make sure to implement the most effective time capture tools for your employees to use, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cards.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Timesheets.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mobile apps.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>2.5 Fifth step: Calculate the respective deductions and their categories<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next step to <\/span>process payroll<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is calculating all necessary deductions. And you should be aware of the different types of deductions that you must take into account, including the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pre-tax deductions:<\/strong> these must be taken out of your employees\u2019 paychecks before withholding taxes. For example, they could be employer-sponsored health insurance, employer and employee retirement contributions, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Tax deductions:<\/strong> in this case, you must calculate the necessary taxes that you will withhold from your employees\u2019 paychecks. Then, you must send that amount to the pertinent government entities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Post-tax deductions:<\/strong> lastly, make sure to take out these deductions from your employees\u2019 paychecks after withholding taxes. For example, they could be employee insurance premiums, garnishments, and many others. For more information, make sure to contact a local <a href=\"https:\/\/connectresources.ae\/payroll\/\">payroll specialist<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>2.6 Sixth step: Run payroll and pay your employees<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After calculating all elements that the <\/span><b>payroll process steps in the UAE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> involve, it is time to run your payroll. You must consider the payment methods that you will use to ensure your employees get paid accurately and promptly. For example, you can opt for using direct deposit, printed checks, or pay cards, depending on your employees\u2019 requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, you must include holidays in the <\/span>payroll process workflow, depending on the pay frequency.
