Before producing a payslip, each employee must have a complete employee record. It holds the payroll information: salary, category, contributions.
Create the record
- Open the Payroll menu, then Employees.
- Click Create and enter the employee's identity.
- Enter their CNPS number and unique identifier if you have them.
- Enter the position, the professional category and the applicable collective agreement.
The employment contract
Next, attach a contract to the employee: contract type (permanent, fixed-term), start date, base salary and any bonuses. These elements feed directly into the payslip calculation.
Good to know: the CNPS contribution rates (old age, family benefits, work accidents) are already configured according to Cameroonian regulations.
