Key concepts

A short glossary of the objects you'll meet in Webelio, in plain language. Each links to its full guide.

People​

Employee — a person who works for you and gets paid. Each employee has personal details, an employment record, a salary and (usually) a login. See adding employees.

Account / login — the sign-in that lets someone use Webelio. An account is separate from an employee record: the owner and HR have accounts but manage everyone, while a staff member's account is linked to their employee record so they can check in and see their own payslips. One account, one login, across both portals. See logging in.

Time and attendance​

Work schedule — your standard working days and weekly offs (for example, Monday–Saturday with Sunday off), plus daily hours. It's the default pattern everyone follows and drives per-day pay. See work schedule.

Shift — a set of working times (start, end, grace period, night-shift flag). You only need shifts if different people work different timings; a simple schedule is enough otherwise. See shifts.

Week-off and holiday — days no one is expected to work. Week-offs come from the schedule (including patterns like alternate Saturdays); holidays come from your holiday calendar. Neither counts as loss of pay. See work schedule.

Attendance finalizing — locking a completed month so its totals (days worked, loss-of-pay days, overtime) become the numbers payroll uses. Once finalized, the month can't change unless you de-finalize it. See the monthly grid.

Leave​

Leave type — a category of time off, such as Casual Leave (CL), Earned Leave (EL) or Sick Leave (SL). Webelio seeds these three for you; you can add more. See leave types and policies.

Leave balance — how many days of a leave type an employee has left. Balances are set each year, go up as leave is earned, and go down as leave is taken. Run out, and further days become loss of pay. See balances and comp-off.

Money​

Salary structure / CTC — how a person's pay is built up. CTC (Cost to Company) is the full annual figure; it splits into components like Basic and House Rent Allowance (HRA), then into Gross (before deductions) and Net (what lands in the bank). Webelio can reverse-calculate the components from a single CTC number. See salary structure.

Statutory deduction — a legally required deduction from salary, such as Provident Fund (PF), income tax (TDS) or Professional Tax (PT). Webelio calculates each one automatically when it applies to your business. See statutory compliance.

Payroll run — one month's pay processing. It moves through draft → compute → approve → disburse, producing payslips and a bank file. Loss of pay is applied before statutory deductions are calculated. See running payroll.
