Revise salary & handle arrears

A salary revision changes an employee's CTC/structure from an effective date. If that date is in the past, Kredily can pay the difference as arrears.

Revise an employee's salary

  1. Open the employee (or use the bulk revise / CTC import for many).
  2. Enter the new CTC / structure and the effective date.
  3. Save. The revision applies from that date forward.

Arrears (back-dated revisions)

If the effective date falls in a month you've already processed, the shortfall is owed as arrears. Kredily surfaces this so the next run can pay the difference. Review the arrears for the month before locking the run.

During the payroll run

The run's Salary Revision view lists everyone whose salary changed in the current month โ€” so you can validate the revisions (and arrears) and correct anything before calculating. Pay attention to this step; a missed effective date is the usual cause of "wrong salary this month".

Common issues

  • Revision didn't apply โ€” check the effective date; if it's after the run's period, it applies next month.
  • No arrears generated โ€” arrears only arise when the effective date is before an already-processed month; a future-dated revision won't create them.
  • Wrong salary on payslip โ€” confirm the revision's effective date and that the run was (re)calculated after the revision.

When to contact support

A revision with a correct effective date isn't reflected (or arrears don't compute) after recalculating โ€” raise a ticket with the employee ID, new CTC, and effective date.
