• Payroll: School accountants can now withhold one employee's salary while paying everyone else, or leave someone out of a month's pay run entirely. A withheld salary still counts towards PF, ESI and TDS and stays in that month's returns, so statutory filings remain correct.
• One-off earnings and deductions: Add a festival bonus, incentive or uniform recovery to a single payslip for one month, without touching the employee's salary structure. Each entry records who added it and why. See the payroll module.
• Staff loans: Cancelling or re-running a monthly payroll now returns any instalment to the schedule and restores the outstanding balance on salary advances and staff loans.
• Payroll records: Approving, disbursing or holding a payment now records which staff member did it, so every payroll action has a name against it.
