Variable allowance is a new feature in iSuweldo that automatically computes for the employee allowances based on hours or days worked.
There are two categories of allowances in iSuweldo: the fixed allowance and variable allowance. The fixed allowance are allowances that are recurring and do not change unless you specifically update the amount. The variable allowances are specific amount per day or per month but it is adjusted based on the employee’s timekeeping for the period. Variable allowance can be defined as taxable or non taxable. It can also be defined to compute based on hours worked or based on days worked. Variable allowance based on hours worked is computed just like the monthly rates where hourly rate of employee is used. When the employee incurs absences, tardiness, or undertime, the allowance will be adjusted. Variable allowance based on days worked is computed based on the number of days and does not take into consideration the tardiness and undertime. Variable allowance is another functionality that we have added to make your payroll processing more efficient. It is integrated with the timekeeping data so that everything is already done automatically. |

Did you know that as an administrator, you can easily setup and process annualization with iSuweldo?
The de minimis setup allows you to define the payroll items that can be considered as de minimis and identify other tax exemption for the purposes of withholding tax annualization. Early this year, the tax exemption cap for bonuses and other benefits has been increased from 30,000.00 to 82,000.00. The iSuweldo administrator of your company can simply change the amount of the ceiling and save to take effect during the annualization. On the de minimis setup, you also define the ceiling that is allowed as de minimis. For example, uniform and clothing is up to 5,000.00 per annum; rice allowance is 18,000 per annum or 1,500 per month; laundry allowance is 3,600 per annum or 300 per month. The excess on the defined ceiling will be included in the 82,000.00 tax exemption ceiling. Another item in de minimis setup is the unused monetized leaves where you can define the number of days that can be included as de minimis while any excess can be included to the 82,000.00 tax exemption ceiling. Configuration in iSuweldo is very flexible. The various setup allows you to define the government compliance as well as your organization's rules and policies. |

Overtime setup is made more flexible in iSuweldo to cater to the different rules and policies of each organization when it comes to overtime recognition.
Each organization has their own rules for the basis of recognition of overtime for employees. Some uses the actual time in and time out from their biometrics device, and some are based on approved overtime. With iSuweldo, you can select either of these rules as the basis of overtime. We have added another rule to compare actual time vs approved overtime and pay whichever is lower. With this, an employee must have an approved overtime in the system. However, the time to be used for the overtime pay will be based on the lower between approved or actual time. For example, if actual OT rendered based on time is two hours while approved overtime is for three hours, only the actual 2 hours will be paid. On the other hand, if the approved overtime is only 1 hour, then paid overtime is for the 1 hour unless the employee resubmits additional overtime and gets it approved. There are too many intricacies involved in time and attendance processing for each organization. iSuweldo helps you automate them to have a hassle free timekeeping and payroll processing. |
