What this is

Staff profiles hold the official employee details that print on the salary slip, plus the monthly employment cost True Cost uses.

Payslip fields (Maldives):

  • Full name (as on the national ID or passport)
  • Employee number (your shop code)
  • National ID, or work visa / passport number for expatriates
  • Designation and department
  • TIN, only if Employee Withholding Tax applies

Money fields:

  • Salary, work permit, medical, insurance, food, housing, other
  • Optional employee pension and EWT — these reduce Net Pay on payroll. Leave at 0 if they do not apply.
  • Optional employer pension — shop cost for True Cost. It is not deducted from the slip.

aPOS does not guess the 7% MRPS rate or the MIRA EWT bands. Type the amount when it applies.

Paying the person is Payroll, not this screen. See How to pay staff.
