Create Attendance or Production Types in TallyPrime (Payroll)

Attendance/Production Type represents the basic units that is used to compute employees’ pay and to track and represent data on productivity. Attendance/production types in TallyPrime are dependent on the Pay Heads that constitute employees’ pay structure, and so you may need to define multiple types.

You can also define Attendance/Production Types in TallyPrime in hierarchical group to ensure that attendance types having a common unit are combined under logical groups. For example, The group Present Days can have Present and Leave with Pay as sub-groups.

Attendance Type

You can define Attendance/Production Types with or without pay.

• Attendance/Leave with Pay: Use this to record the positive attendance and leave with pay (For example, Present, Sick Leave, and so on.)
• Leave without Pay: Use this to record negative attendance (For example, Absent, Leave Without Pay, and so on.)
