Update Release Notes

Belina Payroll HR | Version 3.2.0.260324

TaRMS & Tax Alignment

•Tax Deductibles: NEC Levy, Trade Union, and Subscriptions are now permanently set as Tax Deductible. This option is locked (greyed out) to ensure consistency with the ZIMRA TaRMS portal.

•Payroll Validation: Added a warning notification when running the Calculation Routine on a payroll with no employees.

Bug Fixes

Banking

•Added the new Ecobank bank transfer report format
