Graphic Design Studios payroll — FAQs

How do we handle payment for designers who work on retainer versus project basis?

PayTime lets you define multiple earning types per employee—retainer fees pay monthly on schedule, whilst project payments can be logged separately and included in the next payroll cycle. Both flow into one consolidated payslip with correct tax applied.

Do we have to process payroll for part-time freelancers in the same system?

Yes. You can mark freelancers as contractors or part-time staff, set their payment frequency (weekly, fortnightly, monthly), and PayTime calculates their FBR withholding according to their earnings level, keeping compliance simple.

What happens if our workload drops seasonally and we need to adjust salaries or hours?

PayTime allows you to update rates and hours for each pay cycle without losing historical records. EOBI contributions adjust automatically based on earnings thresholds, so your compliance stays correct even during slow months.
