Organization Profile


When you first set up your organization in Zoho Payroll, you would have entered key details such as your organization’s name, address, and industry. You can view and manage most of these details any time from a single place: the Organization Profile under Settings.


To set up or update your organization profile:

PREREQUISITE To make any changes to the Organization Profile, you must be an Admin, or your role in Zoho Payroll must have the Update Organization Profile permission.

  1. Log in to your Zoho Payroll account.
  2. Navigate to the Organization Profile page in Settings.
  3. Update the fields across the following sections as needed:

NOTE Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.

  1. Click Save to update your preferences.

INSIGHT If the same organization is set up in other Zoho Finance applications (such as Zoho Books, Zoho Expense, Zoho Billing, Zoho Checkout, Zoho Commerce, Zoho Inventory, Zoho Invoice, Zoho Practice, Vikra, and Zakya), any changes made to the organization profile in Zoho Payroll will automatically reflect across those apps. For instance, updating your organization address in Zoho Payroll will update it in Zoho Books as well. This ensures consistency across all applications and saves you time spend on updating manually in each app.


Basic Details

The Basic Details section includes your company’s logo, legal name, DBA name, industry, and legal structure.


Upload your company logo to personalize your employees’ pay stubs and strengthen your brand identity across Zoho Payroll, including the Self Service Portal.

INSIGHT Before you upload your logo, ensure your logo conforms to the following specifications:

  • Preferred dimensions: 240 x 240 pixels @ 72 DPI
  • Maximum file size: 1 MB
  • Supported formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and GIF

To upload your organization logo:

  1. Navigate to the Organization Profile page in Settings.
  2. Click Upload Your Organization Logo.
  3. In the popup, choose a file and click Open.

To remove your organization logo:

  1. Navigate to the Organization Profile page in Settings.
  2. Click Remove logo next to your logo.

The change will reflect on all future pay stubs.


Organization Name

The Organization Name is your organization’s full legal name. This name is used for payroll records, pay stubs, reports, and communications with employees and tax agencies.

The name provided during the organization creation cannot be updated. If there’s an error or if your legal business name has changed, contact our support team with the appropriate legal documentation. We’ll verify and update the name for you.


Doing Business As (DBA Name)

The Doing Business As (DBA Name) is the trade name your business uses if it operates under a name different from its legal name. For example, if your legal business name is Zylker Technologies LLC but you operate under the name Zylker, then Zylker would be your DBA Name.

To add or update your DBA name:

  1. Navigate to the Organization Profile page in Settings.
  2. Enter your organization’s trade name under Doing Business As (DBA Name).
  3. Click Save.

NOTE If your business doesn’t have a trade name, you can enter your legal business name instead.


Industry

This specifies the industry or category to which your business belongs. This helps us tailor your payroll-related settings accordingly. For example, Automotive, Construction, Education, and the like.

To update your industry:

  1. Navigate to the Organization Profile page in Settings.
  2. Select an industry type from the Industry dropdown.
  3. Click Save.

Legal Structure is the classification of your business as defined by government regulations. It affects tax obligations and legal liabilities. For example, Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, LLC, Corporation, and S Corporation.

To update your legal structure:

  1. Navigate to the Organization Profile page in Settings.
  2. Select your legal structure from the Legal Structure dropdown.
  3. Click Save.

Address Details

You can manage your organization’s address details, including the business location and alternate addresses used for filing and pay stubs.


Business Location

The Business Location is the country in which your business operates. This field is pre-filled based on your selection when creating the organization and cannot be changed. To use Zoho Payroll in a different country, you’ll need to create a new organization.

SUPPORTED COUNTRIES Zoho Payroll currently supports USA, India, UAE, and KSA.


Filing Address

The Filing Address is your registered business address, and appears on all employee pay stubs and tax forms.

To set a different filing address:

Contact Details

You can manage your organization’s contact details, including the website URL and primary contact.

  • Communications from Zoho: All important updates related to your Zoho Payroll subscription, usage alerts, and account notifications will be sent to this address.
  • Default Sender Email Address: This email address will be used as the default “From” address for email notifications sent to employees from Zoho Payroll.

  2. Click Manage Contacts next to the email address.
