MXP Employee Management
MXP Payroll
Handle international contracts and maritime compliance, all in one robust payroll solution built for international shipping. The MXP Payroll Module is a powerful solution designed to simplify payroll management for maritime operations. It automates wage calculations, streamlines contract management, and ensures compliance with tax and reporting requirements - whether payroll is processed onboard ships or centrally in the office.
Why MYP Payroll?
With support for seasonal assignments and 12-month contracts, the module adapts to diverse employment structures. Contract templates are configured directly in Position Maintenance, allowing multiple contract options per position, while wage components define individual pay elements with full GL accounting integration.
The MXP Payroll module automatically calculates wages based on the assigned contract, using predefined wage types, units of measure (UOM), payment frequencies, and amounts.
- Automated wage components such as basic salary, vacation pay, and guaranteed overtime are processed directly from the employee’s contract.
- Variable components, including cash advances, travel expenses, bonuses, gratuities, overtime, and wire transfers, can be updated throughout the month for real-time accuracy.
