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.
