Payroll and labour compliance
Accurate payroll, clear controls and timely compliance support
We run a controlled payroll operation connecting attendance, salary, statutory deductions, employee payouts and accounting into a single reconciled process.
Payroll processed accurately and confidentially, reconciled through to the ledger.
Every cycle, reconciled.
Attendance → payroll → bank advice → ledger
The problem
Where payroll typically fails
- Inputs arrive from multiple sources with no single source of truth.
- Salary changes and incentives aren't evidenced by an approval.
- Payroll, bank advice, ledgers and statutory deductions don't reconcile.
- Full-and-final settlements drag on for weeks.
Payroll processing
- Employee master and salary-structure setup.
- Attendance, leave, incentive and deduction inputs.
- Monthly payroll, payslips and bank advice.
- Reimbursements and full-and-final settlement.
- Payroll accounting and reconciliation.
Compliance support
- Employee tax calculations and declarations.
- PF, ESI, Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund calculations and filing support.
- Bonus, gratuity and leave-encashment calculations.

Control and confidentiality
- Defined input cut-offs and an approval matrix.
- Restricted access to payroll data.
- Maker-checker review on every cycle.
- Payroll-to-bank-to-ledger reconciliation.
- An exception and change log.
5th Quadrant processes payroll and manages statutory calculation and filing support. Legal interpretation of labour law, and any representation before a labour authority, sits with an appropriately qualified labour-law professional.

Frequently asked questions
What information is required for payroll processing?
Employee master data, attendance/leave inputs and any salary or incentive changes for the cycle — the exact list is agreed and put on a fixed cut-off date during onboarding.
Can 5th Quadrant manage PF, ESI and Professional Tax workflows?
Yes, including calculations and filing support for PF, ESI, Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund.
How are payroll changes approved?
Through a defined approval matrix agreed with you — salary changes, incentives and other adjustments require documented sign-off before they're processed, not an informal request.
How is employee data protected?
Payroll data access is restricted to the people working on your account, with maker-checker review before any payroll run is released.
Can payroll be integrated with attendance and accounting?
Yes, payroll is reconciled through to bank advice and your accounting ledger as part of the standard process.
Does 5th Quadrant provide labour-law legal opinions?
No. We manage calculations, records and filing support; state-specific legal interpretation or representation is referred to an appropriate labour-law professional.
