Payroll compensation encompasses the various types of payments made to employees within a company.

 


 

What types of payroll supplements does Factorial support?

Factorial supports a range of payroll supplements, including fixed amounts for each period or multiple periods, amounts dependent on the number of worked days, percentages of a target amount, overtime payments, expense reimbursements, and more. We continually strive to enhance the automation of your payroll preparation.

 


 

If I need to manage supplements for X, but Factorial doesn't support it, what can I do?

No worries! You can compile the supplementary data in an Excel or CSV file and import it into Factorial to have all your data in one centralized location.

 


 

My company's payroll remains the same. I don't see the benefit of managing it through Factorial.

Even if your company's payroll remains consistent, you can still include additional compensations in your employees' contracts. This will automatically generate supplements during each payroll period, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
