IN SHORT
What is payroll dashboard?
Payroll Dashboard
See the cycle's current step, headcount, gross and net totals, flagged variances and statutory dues on one screen, before the month closes.
Reporting & Control
Cycle status, cost analytics, an audit log of changes and approvals, retained history and the attendance feed behind loss-of-pay.
THE PROBLEM
What goes wrong without payroll dashboard
These are the problems payroll teams run into when this is handled on spreadsheets and email.
The only way to find out where the cycle stands is to ask the payroll executive.
Statutory dues are calculated only when a deposit is close, leaving little time to check them.
A jump in someone's pay is noticed after release, when the fix is a reversal.
Leadership has no view of payroll cost until the month closes.
HOW IT WORKS
Payroll Dashboard inside a BizzField pay run
BizzField runs payroll in five steps: lock attendance, draft the register, review variance, approve, release. Here is how this capability works inside that cycle.
Live cycle status
Shows which step the current run is on and what is holding it up.
Flagged variance
Employees whose pay moved materially since the last cycle are surfaced before approval.
Statutory at a glance
What is due, under which head and by when, in one place.
BUILT FOR INDIA
Indian statutory rules, built into the cycle
PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS are calculated inside the pay run, and state rules follow the employee's work location.
PF wage ceiling
Employee and employer provident fund computed on basic wages, respecting the statutory monthly ceiling.
ESI eligibility
Applied to employees within the gross wage limit of ₹21,000 a month, with contribution-period rules handled across the cycle.
State-wise PT
Professional tax slabs resolved by work location rather than by registered head office.
TDS & Form 24Q
Projected annual tax spread across remaining months, with quarterly Form 24Q output.
QUESTIONS
Payroll Dashboard — Questions We Get Asked
Access is role-scoped. Payroll administrators see operational detail, while leadership roles can be limited to aggregate cost without individual salary visibility.
Yes. It reflects the current state of the cycle, including which step is complete and what is awaiting action.
Yes. Revisions, approvals and reversals are recorded in an audit trail with the user and the time against each action, so a closed cycle can be explained later.
FILES FROM THE APPROVED PAY RUN
Bank Files And Statutory Returns, Built From The Approved Register
What is paid, what is deducted and what is reported come from the same approved register, so the files are not rebuilt in Excel after the run.
BANK TRANSFER
Bank Salary Files
Key Capabilities
- Output formatted to the bank's own upload specification
- Formats for HDFC, ICICI and SBI
- A separate file per bank when employees bank with different banks
- Released amounts kept against the cycle for matching to the bank statement
The bank-format salary file is generated from the approved register, so the amount credited and the amount on the payslip come from the same source.

Statutory Return Files And Accounting Export
Key Capabilities
- PF ECR file produced from the pay run
- ESI contribution return
- Form 24Q assembled from the quarter's cycles, not re-keyed
- General Ledger export for Tally Prime and Zoho Books
The PF electronic challan-cum-return, the ESI return and quarterly Form 24Q are produced from the same figures payroll deducted. Submission stays with your finance or compliance team. Payroll can also export General Ledger data for Tally Prime and Zoho Books.

Approval Controls And A Named Audit Trail
A pay cycle is released through maker-checker approval, and every edit, override, approval, rejection and reversal is recorded against a named user and timestamp.
SEGREGATION OF DUTIES
Maker-Checker Release
Key Capabilities
- Preparer and approver are distinct roles
- Sending a cycle back to draft requires a reason that stays with the cycle
- Entities that need finance and leadership sign-off can add approval levels
The person who prepared the cycle is not the person who releases it, and both actions are recorded against named users.
See Approval WorkflowAUDIT TRAIL
Named Audit Log
Key Capabilities
- Every action attributed to a user, not a shared account
- Logs kept against the cycle they belong to
- A closed period can be reconstructed from its own log
Edits, overrides, approvals and reversals are written to the audit log against a named user and timestamp, so a closed cycle can be explained from its own record.
