Minimum User-Entry
PERKS ensures that, the user has to enter minimum data for payroll generation and leave calculation. For instance, commissions do not have to be calculated prior to entry in PERKS. You just need to define the formula for commission calculation, and store it. Every month, all you have to enter is the sales figures for each salesman; the commission amount is calculated, automatically. The CPF payable on the commission is, also, automatically, calculated.

Complete Leave Applications and
Calculations

PERKS
handles all aspects of leave, totally automatically. At the month end,
all you have to do is to enter the dates on which an employee was absent
under the respective category of leave; PERKS, automatically, generates
the payroll from there, carrying forward the balance leave.
You
may create any number of leave categories (Annual, Medical, Privilege,
Causal, etc), and define, whether or not, these Leaves lapse after a

Integration with
FACT
You do not need to re-enter the payroll entries into
your accounts package any more, if you use FACT. PERKS
seamlessly integrates with FACT, and posts all the
payroll entries, including Deductions, CPF payable,
Division Code, Department Code, etc., automatically.
No additional entries are to be made at all. You can
relate each individual Payment Heads with a General
Ledger Code in FACT. If you roll back the Payroll

rolled back.

PERKS comes with an integrated system of Data Backup and Restore. When data is maintained in your Hard Disk, it is imperative to have a backup for the same. The data backup may be restored back on to the Hard Disk, again, without any fuss. In
addition, the Compressed Data Backup
facility is an value addition to the Data Backup feature. A Compressed Backup is much like a Compressed Archive (for instance, a conventional zip file), and occupies lesser disk space in comparison to a uncompressed data backup. The new feature, therefore, is expected to come in good use, especially during backups of huge volume of data.
