Employee Information


The employee information section consists of the following:
- Employee ID
- Employee Name
- Designation
- Department
Employee ID is a unique number. You can configure it according to your choice. This template uses the first two letters for the company’s initials. The middle two digits are for the year, and the last two digits are for the employee number.
Moreover, to automate the process, you can use the Data Validation function for employee name, employee ID, designation, and department by creating a drop-down list.
Attendance Details
This section consists of the following heads:
- Working Days
- Leaves Allowed
- Leaves Taken
- Payable Days
The template auto-calculates the Payable Days. If the employee hasn’t taken any leave, it will display the full working days. Or else, it will deduct the leaves taken from working days and add leaves allowed. The formula applied here is =IF(C12=0,C10,(C10-C12+C11)).

Salary Calculations


In the Salary Calculation section, you need to insert salary details. Most of the cells consist of predefined formulas. This section consists of the following heads:
CTC – Cost to Company
Basic
HRA
Conveyance Allowance
Medical Allowance
Overtime Pay
Gross Salary
Salary Advance
Other Deductions
Bonus
Net Payable Salary
CTC
“Cost to Company” means the costs borne by an employer to employ an individual.
Basic Salary
Usually, the basic salary ranges from 40%-60% of the CTC amount. This template uses 50% of the basic salary. You can change the formula depending on company policy.
HRA
House Rent Allowance depends on company policy. Most corporates give their employees HRA. Leave it blank if the employment contract doesn’t include this clause.
Conveyance Allowance
Conveyance Allowance is for compensating the employees travel to work and back. This allowance is given only if no transportation is provided by the employer. If the employer provides company transportation, then insert 0.
Medical Allowance
An employer pays a medical allowance to their employees to cover their medical expenses. This amount depends on company policy. Most companies provide their employees with a fixed amount, and others provide on a reimbursement basis.
Overtime Pay
An employer pays overtime to its employees for hours worked more than the normal hours. It is calculated based on the gross salary (basic salary + the agreed allowances).
Depending on company policy, the employee gets overtime pay with an increase of not less than 25% of that wage as per the Labor Laws.
Gross Salary
The template adds all the allowances to basic to form Gross Salary. Hence, Basic Salary + Total Allowance = Gross Salary.
Salary Advance
In the deduction sections, insert the amount of salary advance the employee has received. If not, then enter 0.
Other Deductions
If there are any other deductions applicable to the employee, insert them here; otherwise, leave blank.
Additional Perks
This section is usually blank unless there are any agreed-upon additional perks given to an employee. Usually, companies pay a bonus once a year during Ramadan or any other festival. It differs from company to company.
Net Salary
Net Salary consists of a predefined formula and is auto-calculated.
Approval Section


Amount in words displays the salary amount in text format. It uses the SpellNumber Indian Rupees Excel function, which is manually inserted into the Excel file. In OpenOffice Calc uses NUMBERTEXT Function add-in.
Whereas Google Sheets also uses the Spell Number Indian Rupees script manually inserted through App Script.
Your Salary Slip is ready. Now click on the “Print” button at the top right and print the salary slip.
