Previous Employment (TP-3)
When someone joins your company part-way through the year, they may already have been paid — and had tax and contributions taken — by their previous employer that same year.
To make sure their tax for the rest of the year is calculated correctly, you record those earlier figures here. This is based on the TP-3 form the employee provides.
To open it, click Payroll → Prior Employment in the menu.
What to enter
For each new joiner who worked elsewhere earlier in the same year, enter the totals from their TP-3 form, such as:
- Total pay received from the previous employer.
- Tax (PCB / MTD) already deducted.
- EPF and other contributions already made.
Why it matters
Tax is worked out across the whole year, not just the months with your company. If you skip this step, the system only sees the pay from your company and may deduct too little or too much tax for the rest of the year.
Ask every new joiner for their TP-3 form (and their previous payslips if available) as part of onboarding. Enter the figures before you run their first payroll with your company.
This only applies to staff who had other employment in the same calendar year. For staff who started fresh, or who began at the start of the year, you can skip it.
