q7.

Every transaction in the DiGiPAY software yields the same amount as my manual calculation.

But, why my manually calculated EPF contributions are higher than the result calculated by

DiGiPAY?

This scenario would happen, when multiple journals are in use in the same month. In manual

calculation, it is common that EPF contributions will be calculated separately from each

journal and add up to show the full amount of the month.

DiGiPAY software calculates its statutory amount in a slightly different manner. As journals

must be processed in sequence, the statutory calculation amount will be accumulated in

each journal. Each journal will calculate the EPF contributions based on the total accumu-

lated amount. By deducting the EPF contributions paid in the previous journal(s), the balance

will be the actual EPF contributions payable from the current journal.

In short, DiGiPAY software is using the total accumulated amount for the month to calculate

its statutory contributions.

I noticed that EPF, SOCSO and income tax are providing diskette submission service and this

is available in the DiGiPAY software. What should I do to make use of this feature?

In order to utilize this feature, you must request approval from the relevant authority.

For example, lets discuss the procedure to request approval from EPF.

First, you must print the report. You should ask the EPF officer of your submission branch on

the type of report they need for diskette submission.

Second, generate the data into the diskette.

Third, write a letter to the relevant department to request approval for diskette submission.

Finally, send the letter together with the report and diskette to the diskette submission cent-

er.

Once the request is reviewed, EPF officer will send a letter to your company stating the status

of your request. If it was not approved, make the necessary adjustment as suggested in the

report attached and submit the newly-generated diskette and report for second review.

If it was approved, every month EPF officer will send you a diskette. You should generate the

data into the EPF diskette and send it back to EPF diskette submission center together with

the report.

q9.

I noticed there is a zakat contribution in Employee Particulars, References page. How can I

utilize it?

Zakat contribution is available to allow Muslim employees to give authorization to the com-

pany to make monthly deduction from his/her salary. The payable amount will be determined

by the employee himself/herself.
