Zoho Payrollby Wanas Apps, a Zoho Premium Partner

Zoho Payroll automates payroll processing with formula-based salary templates, WPS-compliant SIF file generation, gratuity calculations, and an employee self-service portal for instant payslip access and leave applications.

The Challenge

Payroll teams relying on spreadsheets spend days each month calculating earnings, overtime, gratuity, and social security deductions — and still risk compliance errors with WPS submission deadlines. Without integration between leave, attendance, and payroll systems, manual data re-entry between tools introduces mistakes that affect employee trust and regulatory standing.

It auto-generates WPS-compliant SIF files, handles gratuity and social security calculations, and gives employees a self-service portal to access payslips, apply for leave, and message payroll admins — all integrated with Zoho Books and Zoho Expense.
