Giving

In an effort to foster a sense of corporate social responsibility and empower employees to make a positive impact beyond the workplace, Zoho Payroll is equipped with the Giving Module.

This unique feature allows you to create campaigns that enable employees to contribute towards specific causes, with the added benefit of potential exemptions in their Income Tax calculations and Form 16.

After creating the campaign, you can show it in the portal so your employees can see it. In Zoho Payroll, you can enter the amount pledged by employees. Once you do this, the pledged amount will be taken out as a donation when the monthly payroll is processed.

Creating Campaigns

• Go to Giving module on the left sidebar.
• Click New Campaign on the top right corner.

• Enter the name campaign and description for the campaign.
• Select the exemption type.
• Select when the campaigns end. After the end date, the campaign will be inactive.
• Choose if you want to display the campaign for the employee in the employee portal.
• Click Save.

Once you create campaigns, you will have to add employee contributions to the campaign.
