Sometimes an employer may revise an employee's salary from retrospective effect, or a salary revision may happen, but the increments are paid out at a later date. In both cases, since the salary for previous periods is already disbursed, the differential amount known as arrears is paid out in a subsequent period. In such a situation, to avoid confusion, the arrears amount is computed and mentioned separately in the payslips.
The Arrears page in the greytHR Admin portal allows you to determine the difference between the revised salary and the actual salary of the employees for the specific months. The page displays the list of batches which expands and displays the employees' list.
To view the Arrears page, click Payroll > Payroll Inputs > Arrears. Watch the following video for clarity:
