Payroll control is one of the main responsibilities of the accountant within a company. This process involves recording and calculating salaries, vacations, overtime, discounts and other benefits that employees receive.

To carry out payroll control, it is necessary to have an integrated management system that allows the registration of all employee information, such as name, position, salary, working hours, among other data.

In addition, it is necessary to be aware of the labor and social security laws in force, to avoid possible problems with inspection. The accountant must be up-to-date and know all the rules and legal obligations, such as the CLT, the FGTS Law, the INSS, among others.

Another important aspect is the correct calculation of taxes and contributions levied on the payroll, such as INSS, FGTS, IRRF, among others. The accountant must be aware of the rates, deadlines and forms of payment of these taxes.

Payroll control also includes the issuance of salary receipts and the preparation of tax and contribution collection forms. It is important that these documents are issued correctly and within the established deadlines, to avoid fines and interest.
