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.
