Teacher payroll and working-day salary calculation

Manage teacher attendance, school working days, allowances, bonuses, advance recovery and WhatsApp salary slips in School OS.

School OS payroll follows the same academic calendar as student attendance. This is the product's calculation method, not a statement of Pakistani employment law or a substitute for a school's agreed employment terms.

01

Set the school calendar first

Configure weekly working days, holidays, vacation ranges and special working dates in Attendance → Calendar. Teachers follow this academic calendar. Non-working days do not create attendance deductions.

02

Calculate the rate from working days

The daily rate is the monthly salary divided by that month's calendar working days. Payroll uses working-day attendance for deductions rather than treating every calendar date as a school day. Review the month and attendance before payment.

03

Review monthly adjustments

In Salary → Payroll, open the teacher's Adjustments control to enter allowances, bonus, advance recovery and a note. Advance recovery deducts an amount from the monthly payroll; a separate advance-paid-out log is not available. Adjustments lock after payment.

04

Record payment and share a salary slip

Choose the payment method, date and reference when paying. The payroll breakdown appears in salary history and printed slips. Staff can choose English or Urdu for WhatsApp salary slips and review the message before sending.

Common questions

Are holidays deducted from teacher salary?
Non-working school dates are excluded from attendance deductions. Review calendar exceptions before finalizing payroll.
Is advance recovery an advance disbursement record?
No. It records recovery through payroll; a separate record of advances paid out is not built.
