Need Guidance on Processing Festival Bonuses Separately After Monthly Payroll in Frappe HR

In many organizations, festival bonuses, such as Eid bonuses, are typically disbursed separately from the regular monthly salary, often in the middle of the month or on a specific day designated for bonus payouts. However, in Frappe HR’s payroll module, the available processes—Additional Salary, Employee Incentive, and Retention Bonus—are all configured to work in conjunction with the monthly salary payroll entry.

How to structure the payroll process to accommodate bonus payments (such as Eid bonuses) after the regular monthly salary payroll entry has been processed? I am looking for a method to execute these bonus payments outside of the standard payroll cycle.

You can check Additional Salary feature in Frappe HR.

@Pawan Thanks for the reply. After adding Festival Bonus component with an employee, it will show with Monthly Payroll Entry. Additional Salary is not working like post payroll process.

if you have already created salary slips it wont update. better to re create payroll entry or if its for individual employee try to resave the salary slip. it will fetch additional salary.

@Maveez once a monthly payroll entry has been done, it’s done. I want to know how can I give bonuses to all the employees or specific employee after the monthly payroll entry has been done. It should be another entry or something.

additional payments tobe done directly as expense.
cash/bank credit
expense debit…
or

you can create expense claim with type as festival bonus and make payment entry against it

@Lone_Wolf did you find any solution?

@Maveez , the only issue is with this solution is that, this festival bonus then will not be shown in Salary Register report, even though bonus may be paid any time of the month, separately from regular payment, it is a part of yearly salary expenses and subjected to tax!

If only there was a option to process Additional Salary independently!

festive bonusses can be paid through an additional earning components right? which can be added to each employee as festive bonus. whenever required.

i believe additional salaries can be processed independently or based on conditional formulas

yes, we can create Salary Component and Additional Salary, but Unfortunately that Additional Salary will be paid along with the payroll, no way to make payments independently [or I could not find any way to do that]
