Add each employee once with their monthly earnings. Tyms works out PAYE, pension and take-home pay for you under Nigerian rules.

Add an employee

  1. Go to Payroll → Employees and click Create Employees → Create manually.

  2. Under Profile, enter their First name, Last name and contact details. Then add the Employee ID, Job title, Gender, Employment status, Branch, Department and Address.

  3. Set the Hire date. Pay and tax start from that month.

  4. Under Earnings, enter the monthly Basic, Housing, Transport and Other benefits. Add any Bonus or Overtime Bonus under Extra pay.

  5. Under Tax and take-home:

    • Leave Pay calculation on Automatic so the amounts update as you change earnings. Choose manual only if you need to type them yourself.

    • Set the Tax country and Tax state, and add their TIN.

  6. Under Enrolment and relief, choose:

    • PAYE tax: deduct PAYE from this person.

    • Pension: both the person and the company contribute.
