Manage employee deductions and loans in Cintra People Payroll

We've added a new Deductions & Loans tab to the employee profile in Cintra People Payroll. Authorised users can now view, add, edit, and delete voluntary deductions and employee loans without leaving Cintra People, keeping day-to-day payroll tasks in one place.

What's new?

Deductions & Loans tab

A new tab is available when you edit an employee in Cintra People Payroll. It contains two sub-tabs: Voluntary Deductions and Loans.

Voluntary deductions

  • View and manage deductions: See all voluntary deductions applied to an employee and add, edit, or delete them from a single list.

  • Guided setup: Add a deduction using a 3-step wizard, with built-in validation and the option to use a standard heading amount or enter a custom value.

  • Safe editing: Delete deductions not yet processed, or end-date those that have been, to preserve payroll history.

Loans

  • View and manage loans: See all loans held by an employee, each showing the deduction heading, loan reference, and a live outstanding balance.

  • Guided setup: Add a loan in a few simple steps, and attach repayment schedules, adding new schedule entries over time as amounts change.

  • Audit trail: All changes are tracked, including who made them and when.

Key benefits

  • Less switching, more doing: Manage voluntary deductions and loans entirely within Cintra People Payroll.

  • Fewer errors: Guided wizards, built-in validation, and a live outstanding balance calculation reduce the risk of data entry mistakes.

  • Everything in one place: Deductions, loans, and repayment schedules are all visible and manageable from the employee profile.

  • Payroll stays accurate: Changes sync with the payroll calculation engine automatically, and corrections flow through to the next pay run where applicable.
