CoreHR Payroll automates salary calculations, statutory deductions, and disbursement — so every pay run is accurate, auditable, and on time, without spreadsheets or manual rework.
Trust & compliance
EPF, ETF, PAYE (APIT), and labour law rules are core to the calculation engine, not an add-on module. Every pay run produces the records finance, audit, and regulators expect.
The problem
Most payroll problems aren't dramatic. They're small, recurring frictions that cost hours every cycle and create real risk at audit time.
EPF, ETF, PAYE, and overtime computed by hand or in fragile spreadsheets — one formula error away from a payroll incident.
Overtime, no-pay, and leave data live in a separate system, requiring manual reconciliation before every pay run.
When a payslip is queried months later, there's no record of who changed what, or why a figure differs from last month.
Bank files built manually each month, with formatting errors discovered only after rejection at the bank.
EPF/ETF returns and tax sheets recompiled from scratch each period instead of generated directly from payroll data.
Leadership has no real-time view of payroll cost trends, department spend, or budget variance until finance compiles a report.
Core capabilities
From salary structure setup to month-end close — CoreHR Payroll covers the full cycle.
Configure fixed earnings, allowances, deductions, and grade-wise pay structures per designation.
Allocate cost by department, project, cost centre, or business unit for accurate financial reporting.
Centralised control for managing payroll cycles, locks, reviews, and multi-level approvals.
Enter or bulk-upload monthly variable allowances, deductions, overtime, and no-pay adjustments.
Regular hours, overtime, and no-pay flow directly from Attendance — no manual reconciliation.
EPF, ETF, and PAYE (APIT) computed automatically from each employee's pay items and tax tables.
Flexible overtime rates and premiums, with proportional no-pay deductions across salary and EPF.
Calculation rules follow current Sri Lankan labour and tax regulations, reviewed as rates change.
Automated closing, validation, and publishing of the payroll cycle once review is complete.
Compliance & controls
Controls and statutory logic are part of the core engine — not a checklist applied afterwards.
Employer and employee EPF calculated automatically from EPF-qualifying earnings.
Employer ETF computed in line with current contribution rates each cycle.
Tax computed against current income tax slabs, with employee tax sheets generated automatically.
EPF/ETF return-ready data and annual tax schedules generated directly from processed payroll.
Payroll preparation, review, and approval are separated by role — no single user can do all three.
Each payroll cycle moves through review and sign-off before it can be locked and published.
Every adjustment to a payslip is logged with who made it, when, and what changed — linked to Lifecycle history.
Once a payroll cycle is published, figures are locked — corrections require a tracked adjustment in the next cycle.
Outputs & integrations
A completed payroll cycle produces everything finance, employees, and regulators need — ready to use.
Estimate monthly APIT (formerly PAYE) for a given salary using the 2025/26 IRD tax tables (effective 1 April 2025) — the same logic CoreHR Payroll applies automatically each cycle.
Based on IRD Tax Table No. 01 for the 2025/26 year of assessment (1 April 2025 onward). For an exact figure, including non-cash benefits and EPF treatment, run a calculation in CoreHR Payroll.
