Overview

Talexio HR pays your employees using an automatically generated payment file which the payroll officer sends to the bank. This file includes instructions on each payment including the beneficiary (employee) details and also the amount to pay them. Since this file is read by an automated system on the bank's end, each bank has its own set of rules which are programmed into Talexio which include how the file should be shaped and what information it should contain.

Validations

Talexio validates the information included in the payroll before generating the file. This is done to prevent the user from having to go back-and-forth with the bank due to invalid payment files.

Below is a list of fields which Talexio validates and their respective validation rules.

In the event of one of these fields failing the validation test, you may go into the respective section and apply the suggested fixes. Most of these include missing data or invalid characters.

Please note that as from 2022, Banks have added the requirement for an employee's country of residence to be specified. Therefore, when adding employees, you will need to make sure the country of residence is specified. When adding an employee to Talexio, a popup will show you any required payroll fields (but failure to input them will not stop you from adding an employee):
