1. Commissions Report (every 15th of the month)
2. Bonus Report (every 15th of the month)
PHRISE-GSC only processes payroll documents submitted by authorized personnel (i.e., HR, CM, SSC, GSC Managers and CA-GSC).
Based on the payroll documents received, PHRISE-GSC prepares a payroll template. This document consolidates all employee
compensation and benefits details for the payroll period (e.g., leave, overtime, commission, bonus, etc.).
For countries whose payroll processing is outsourced, PHRISE-GSC sends the payroll template to the service provider for each
country. Once the service provider is done processing, it sends the payroll computation to PHRISE-GSC which it will use for the
preparation of the payroll transaction register. The payroll transaction register includes details such as employee's gross pay,
deductions and net pay for the period.
For countries whose payroll processing is performed in-house, PHRISE-GSC performs the payroll computation and prepares the
payroll transaction register.
The Payroll Manager and the Financial Director (FD) review the payroll transaction register by checking if the details in the payroll
documents and payroll template are correctly reflected in the payroll transaction register (e.g., new hires are included and resigned
employees are excluded; deductions are reasonable; salary is adjusted accurately, etc.).
PHRISE-GSC prepares a payment template based on the payroll transaction register. The payment template is the file uploaded to the
online banking website for payment processing. Then, the PHRISE-GSC uploads the payment template.
The PHRISE-GSC sends a screenshot of the details uploaded in the online banking website to the FD for review. The FD checks if the
total amount of salaries to be debited to the bank account is correct before approving the release of payment in the online banking
website.
