Departments, allowances and biometric IDs

Use the HR setup tools to keep staff classification, recurring allowances and attendance-device identity consistent.

Set up the records

1. Open Staff → Departments to create or edit the department name and active status.
2. Open Staff → Allowances for allowance types. Review Taxable, EPF applicable, ETF applicable, Include in daily rate, Caps late deduction and Active according to the business policy.
3. Open an employee’s profile and Allowances to assign a type, amount and effective dates. Review existing assignments before adding another.
4. For device attendance, open the profile’s Biometric IDs, select Assign ID, choose Device and enter the employee’s device identifier; review Active and save.

The device ID must match the employee on that device; a mapping does not create a new physical-device employee or import attendance by itself. Changes can affect future payroll or punch matching. Review them before generating salary.
