Extra pay and payroll deductions: bonuses, wage garnishment, advances and BES go into payroll correctly.
Extra pay tracking form: premiums, bonuses, meals, transport and per diem
Additional payments are entered as a form per location and period: a person is selected with '+ Add Employee' ('+ Personel Ekle'), and the row type, quantity or days and unit amount are entered. The form is saved as a draft and takes effect with 'Approve' ('Onayla'); it can be canceled, and the cancellation can be undone.
Supplemental wages into payroll: net or gross basis
At the moment of approval, rows marked 'Transfer to Payroll' ('Bordroya Aktar') become payroll item instructions according to the payment type; unmarked rows stay outside payroll. The person entering the form chooses a net or gross basis; a payment agreed as net is converted to gross in payroll, and the payslip also shows the agreed net.
Meal card payment and transport allowance in payroll: exemption by days worked
On meal and transport card rows, the days worked from the timesheet appear as read-only; the daily exemption is calculated as 'daily value × days worked'. The card amount is deducted from the cash net (payment in kind).
Wage garnishment tracking: ranked orders, maintenance and instalment garnishment
A wage garnishment file is opened by querying the employee, location and garnishment rank with the Turkish ID number (TC). The ranking under Article 83 of İİK (Turkish Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law) and alimony priority are applied; a fixed-installment garnishment is deducted independently of the ranked garnishments. The garnishment deduction is calculated from the payroll's statutory net at the file's rate.
Notice to the enforcement office for leaving employees
When an employee with an active garnishment file leaves, a calendar reminder is set for the file's location. From the risk analysis, a notification letter is produced showing, per file, the last deduction, the total deducted and the remaining debt.
Employee loan tracking: advances, damage and asset deductions in instalments
Company receivables such as advances, damage and assigned assets are deducted from salary in installments. The deduction cannot exceed the statutory net minus garnishment and BES; an installment that exceeds it is deferred with the reason 'insufficient net pay'.
BES management: pension auto-enrolment and BES deduction
Bulk auto-enrollment registers everyone eligible in a single action; for those not eligible, the reason is returned person by person. The BES (private pension auto-enrollment) deduction is calculated after the pay calculation, on the SGK base at the rate in the signed package; opt-out, suspension and continuation information is taken from the pension company's list.
Payroll deduction types on the payslip, line by line per debt
Wage garnishment, company debt and BES deductions are written to the finalization record; the record carries both the statutory net and the net payable from the pay calculation. On the payslip, each debt is a separate line, and BES is printed as a statutory deduction.
Protection for locked and finalized periods
For a person whose payroll is frozen or finalized, additional payments for that period cannot be approved or canceled. No debt is added to a calculated period until the lock is removed; no deduction slip is opened for a finalized period.
Extra pay list, garnishment list and BES report to Excel
On additional payment rows, filtering, sorting and totals work across all records; Excel exports use the on-screen columns and filters. Debt and deduction lists are exported for a single category with selected columns as Excel, PDF or email; the BES participant list is exported as Excel and PDF.

Frequently asked questions
How to add an extra payment to payroll?
In the Additional Payments (Ek Ödemeler) form, a row is approved with the 'Transfer to Payroll' ('Bordroya Aktar') mark; at the moment of approval, the row becomes a payroll item instruction according to the payment type. A row that payroll cannot calculate is not converted into an instruction, and the reason appears in a persistent warning.
How to calculate a bonus from net to gross?
For a bonus agreed as net, Pulsar HRM finds the gross amount that increases the person's statutory net by the target net and includes it in the calculation. The payslip shows both the gross and the agreed net.
How is the meal card exemption calculated?
Pulsar HRM calculates the daily exemption as 'daily value × days worked in the timesheet'; the days worked arrive on the form as read-only. The daily value is read from the signed legislation package.
Is wage garnishment taken from gross or net pay?
In Pulsar HRM, the wage garnishment deduction is calculated from the payroll's statutory net at the file's rate and rounded to the nearest cent. If a rate-based deduction exceeds statutory net × file rate, the calculation stops.
How are wages garnished when there are several enforcement orders?
For ranked garnishments, the ranking under Article 83 of İİK (Turkish Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law) applies and alimony takes priority; a fixed-installment garnishment is deducted independently of the ranking. The deduction slip is simulated with the payroll net and then transferred to the enforcement file.
How is a salary advance deducted?
An advance is deducted in installments as a company debt. If an installment exceeds the statutory net minus garnishment and BES, it is deferred with the reason 'insufficient net pay'; on the payslip, each debt appears on a separate line.
How does the BES deduction show in payroll?
The BES (private pension auto-enrollment) deduction is calculated after the pay calculation, on the SGK base at the rate in the signed package; it is written to the finalization record and printed on the payslip as a statutory deduction.
Does BES change the garnishment amount?
No. In Pulsar HRM, the BES (private pension auto-enrollment) deduction does not change the garnishment amount; the garnishment is calculated from the statutory net at the file's rate.
What if there are no extra payments this period?
If there is no uncanceled form, a 'No additional payments this period' ('Bu dönem ek ödeme yok') declaration is made for the location and period. The payroll calculation's additional payment check reads this declaration; the declaration can be withdrawn.
