Creating More Than One Instance

Adding a Pension or Provident Fund will result in the first instance of the Payroll Fund being created. You can add more than one instance of the same Pension or Provident Fund, indicating different contributions.

Select is this fund a level of another fund? before creating another instance of a fund that has already been configured. It is paramount that this option is selected before specifying the fund type and name for the system to register the new option as a second instance of an existing fund.

Important Comment

Tip It is not advisable to base the Pension or Provident Fund on Basic Salary if the fund is part of the package since it will result in a circular calculation
