Payroll for a very small team

We have only four staff. Do we need payroll software for WPS?

The situation

WPS needs a bank salary file each month, but no specific software is required.

The law

  • Wage Protection System (Ministry of Labour): Wages paid through banks via WPS so the Ministry can check timely payment

What it means for you

Most banks give a template that a small company can fill in. Keep a simple sheet with basic wage, allowances, deductions and gratuity accrual. As headcount grows past 15 to 20, software reduces errors and saves time.

What to do

  1. Get the bank's WPS template.
  2. Keep a payroll sheet with accruals.
  3. Upload monthly.
  4. Review software options as you grow.
