Batch cycles
A batch cycle is the recurring definition of a payroll: who is paid, how often, for which period, and who approves it. Every payroll run is an instance of one. Setting them up correctly is the single…
Read article →Contribution types
A contribution type defines a statutory or company deduction — how it is calculated, what it is calculated on, and where it stops. These are the settings that make statutory deductions correct, and…
Read article →Custom payroll policies
A custom payroll policy turns an attendance pattern into money — a punctuality bonus, a tardiness deduction, a seniority allowance, a distance-based payment. They are how company-specific pay rules…
Read article →Employee payroll settings
An employee's payroll settings decide how their pay is calculated: what they are paid, how often that figure is expressed, how it converts to a daily rate, and which tax and contribution rules apply…
Read article →Income tax types
An income tax type is the complete definition of how tax is worked out for the employees assigned to it: the rate tables, which contributions are deductible, how the year is estimated, and how…

Read article →Payroll automation rules
A payroll automation rule sets an employee's payroll fields automatically, based on who they are, instead of someone remembering to configure each new joiner by hand. It is how payroll settings stay…
Read article →Payroll user rights
Payroll rights are deliberately separate from the rest of KAMI's permissions, and more granular. Payroll is the module where access controls both privacy — everyone's salary — and money leaving the…
Read article →Payroll validation rules
Validation rules are checks KAMI runs against every payslip when it is calculated, so that a suspicious figure is flagged before anyone is paid rather than after. They are how you encode "that can't…
Read article →Termination settings
Termination settings decide what final pay contains: which components are due for which reason for leaving, on what wage basis, and at what multiplier. They are configured once against your legal…
Read article →Updating statutory contribution rates
Statutory contribution rates change — usually annually, sometimes mid-year. Updating them in KAMI is a small task with a large blast radius: it affects every employee's payslip and every remittance…
