*Step 1: Payroll*

### 2. Statutory deductions

Switch on statutory payroll, and HTT Schools works out pension — eight percent from staff and ten percent from the school — the National Housing Fund, and PAYE under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025. Check the figures with your accountant before relying on them.

*Step 2: Statutory deductions*

### 3. Salaries

Salaries lists each member of staff’s monthly basic pay and allowances. A run takes everyone’s figures from here — change one and press Save beside it.

*Step 3: Salaries*

### 4. Start the run

At the top, under Runs, choose the month and press Start run. A payslip is made for every member of staff with a salary. A month has one run — if it already exists, it simply opens.

### 5. The totals

The run shows the gross pay, what reaches staff, and the pension and PAYE the school must remit.

*Step 6: Payslips*

### 7. Approve and pay

When the figures are right, Approve locks the run, and Mark paid records that salaries have gone out. Until it is approved, you can still correct it.
