Frequently Asked Questions

Payroll Management — Common Questions

What accounting firms ask before running payroll through CAOA.

What does CAOA Payroll Management calculate automatically?

CAOA calculates gross salary from CTC structure, applies all statutory deductions — PF (12% employee + 12% employer), ESI where applicable, professional tax by state, and TDS based on the employee's tax regime selection — and arrives at net take-home pay in one click. The system also handles arrears, LOP (Loss of Pay) deductions based on attendance data from the Employee Management module, and performance bonuses. Salary slips are generated automatically and can be emailed to employees or downloaded as PDFs.

Can CAOA handle different salary structures for different employees?

Yes. You can define multiple CTC structures — for example, fixed-pay structures for support staff and variable-pay structures for senior professionals. Each structure can have custom components: basic, HRA, conveyance, special allowance, meal allowance, LTA, and any firm-specific components. Each employee is mapped to a structure, and the payroll engine applies their individual structure every month. Changes to a structure take effect from the next payroll cycle without affecting historical records.

Does CAOA integrate payroll with attendance and leave data?

Yes. Attendance and leave data from the Employee Management module feeds directly into payroll. If an employee is absent without approved leave, the LOP days are calculated and the salary is adjusted accordingly. Approved leave types (casual leave, sick leave, privilege leave) are configured to be paid or unpaid per your HR policy. This eliminates the manual step of cross-checking attendance registers before running payroll.

What compliance reports does CAOA Payroll generate?

CAOA generates Form 16 (TDS certificate), monthly PF challan, ESI challan, professional tax register, and salary registers in the formats required for filing. All reports are exportable in PDF and Excel. The system also maintains a month-by-month payroll ledger per employee that can be produced for HR audits, labour inspections, or statutory reviews. For firms managing payroll across multiple states, CAOA handles state-specific professional tax rates automatically.

How many employees can I manage, and is there a per-employee fee?

CAOA's payroll module scales from sole-practitioner firms with 2 employees to large firms with 500+ staff. Pricing is based on your overall CAOA user plan, not on the number of payroll employees. This means you can add all of your employees as payroll records without any additional per-head cost. Historical payroll records are retained indefinitely and accessible for any prior month with a single click.
