### Organization Details

When you initially set up your organization, you would have provided essential details about your company. You can manage and update these details in the **Organization Profile** page. This ensures that your organization’s information remains accurate and up-to-date.

### Configure Pay Schedule

The **Pay Schedule** is the backbone of your payroll process. It defines how frequently you pay your employees and helps you maintain a consistent payroll timeline. Our app allows you to configure work week and set a pay date based on your business needs.

### Social Security Benefits

**Social Security Benefits** are provided to employees in GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar) by their respective governments. You can configure social security benefits for your employees to provide necessary coverage and to ensure compliance with legal requirements.

### Salary Components

Salary components are the different parts that make up an employee’s total salary. These include earnings, benefits, and deductions, which determine the gross pay and the final take-home salary of your employees.

### Add Employees

Adding employees is crucial for processing payrolls, calculating net pay, and deductions. The Employees module allows you to enter essential employee information, including their basic details, salary details, personal details, and payment information. You can also upload employee documents for record-keeping purposes. The app also lets you invite employees to the Employee Portal, where they can view payslips, salary details, and their payroll-related data.

### Configure Prior Payroll

If you have previously processed payroll before using our app, the Prior Payroll module helps you import previous payroll data accurately. By entering prior payroll details, you ensure continuity and compliance, allowing us to calculate deductions, and year-to-date amounts seamlessly.
