I’ve added my Bank details to Zoho People, but my Zoho Payroll account is inactive.
Zoho Payroll takes 24 hours to sync with Zoho People. Once the sync is successful, the People Operations team adds the bank details manually from the backend on Day 2. Moreover, details such as DOB/PAN/Aadhar/Father’s name/Residential address/location, etc., are mandatory to be added to Zoho Payroll. And when this information is missing, it could take another day to update all the info and get the Payroll account ready.
Hence, you can wait till Day 3 of your joining to check out your Zoho payroll account, and if you don’t have access even then, please email people@axelerant.com or create a ticket here.
