In SumoPayroll, Consultants refer to individuals or entities who are not part of regular salaried employment. This includes:
Contract Employees
Freelancers
Service Providers
Firms or Individuals hired on a temporary or project basis
We support two types of consultants:
1. Salary-Based Consultants
These consultants are paid a fixed compensation.
Payroll can be run similarly to regular employees with applicable taxes and deductions.
2. Invoice-Based Consultants
Payments are made against submitted invoices.
Can be with or without TDS (Tax Deducted at Source).
Suitable for vendors, firms, or freelancers billing by task/project/hour.
Both consultant types can be tracked and processed easily within the platform. Refer to your payroll module to add and manage consultants effectively.
