What are deduction items?
Deduction items decrease an employee's monthly pay. Examples include unpaid leave, advances, zakat deduction, and more.
Important:
- Before adding Zakat as a pay item (deduction) when running payroll, you need to ensure the "Zakat Contribution" box on the "Compensation Page" has been ticked. Only when it is ticked, the Zakat deduction will be computed as a Tax Rebate in the PCB calculation.

3. Click "Statutory".
4. Select "Edit". Scroll down until you see "Zakat Contribution". Tick the box.
5. Click "Confirm" to save.
