Worked example
An employer configuring payroll for wage slip should first identify the employee and wage period, then apply the exact provision and any linked rule. The system rule should be tested against a sample payslip and bank/payment record. A text point to test is: “-Every employer shall issue wage slips, electronically or in physical form to the employees in Form V under sub-section (3) of section 50 on or before payment of wages.” Reconcile the mapped Code Section(s) 50. Use the current notified V where the process requires it.
