Payslip Generation Guide
The payslip generation guide including cutoff date configuration, carry-over rules for weekly and bi-weekly employees, and the recommended workflow for preparing pay packets is being finalised. This page will be updated shortly.
Overview
Payslips are generated from MBS Attendance → Payslips. Select a month and click Generate. The system determines which pay periods have ended, generates payslips for completed periods, and skips anything already generated or not yet due.
When payslips generate
A payslip is only generated when its pay period is complete. The system never generates payslips for future periods. This means you can click Generate any time and only completed, unprocessed periods will be created.
Cutoff dates
For businesses that prepare pay packets before the end of the pay period, the pay period start day can be used as an effective cutoff date. Set the pay period start day a few days before the actual payment date — for example, if you pay on the 15th, set the period to run from the 12th. This means payslips can be generated on the 12th, cash prepared over two days, and handed over on the 15th. The days between the 12th and 15th count in the next pay period.
