New Feature: Custom Beneficiaries

We’ve expanded our beneficiaries functionality so that you can add beneficiaries for custom items that are set up as benefits, deductions or employer contributions. This gives you more flexibility in tailoring the beneficiaries report for your needs, making any payments linked to payroll even easier.

To add a custom beneficiary:

• Go to Settings > Beneficiaries and select Add under Custom Beneficiary
• Enter the details for your beneficiary and click Save

Once you have added your custom beneficiary, you can link it to custom items as follows:

• Go to Settings > Custom Items and select the custom item (or click Add to create one)
• Tick the checkbox Link to beneficiary
• Select the Beneficiary Type:
  • ‘Fixed’ should be selected if there is only one beneficiary for this custom item for all employees. You will then need to select the beneficiary from the dropdown list.
  • ‘Different on every employee’ should be selected if different employees have different beneficiaries for this custom item. If you select this option, the beneficiary will need to be specified when adding the custom item to the employee’s payslip.
• Then click Save

We hope you love this new feature and that it’ll make your payroll processing more efficient.
