The arrears calculator determines the difference between the revised pay and actual pay for the arrears period, and then updates the arrears components. Various concerns, such as taxation and statutory deductions, are automatically handled.

To view the existing record of arrears processed, navigate to Payroll > Payroll Inputs > Arrears.
