Payslip languages
Give each staff member their payslip in their own language, set the language on their profile, and know which languages payslips support today.
Turn it on
- Go to Salary → Payroll settings.
- Under Payslips, turn on Payslips in each staff member's language.
- Select Save.
With it off, every payslip is in English.
Set a staff member's language
On the staff profile, choose Language for payslips. Staff can also choose it themselves on their self-service Profile. A payslip uses the staff member's own choice. With no choice, it uses the Default language of your business. It starts as the language the app was in when you created the business; change it in Settings → Business profile.
Languages today
| Language | Payslip text |
|---|---|
| English | Full |
| Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali | Translated; any line without a translation shows English |
| Urdu | English, because the PDF cannot lay out right-to-left text. This applies to an Urdu default language too |
Names you type yourself, such as your own component names and the footer note, stay as you typed them.
Translations are machine-made and are waiting for a native speaker's review.
The language is fixed when the payslip PDF is made, so changing a staff member's language later changes only new payslips.
