<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the salary planning system at MTs Pondok Pesantren Al Hasanah Ujungbatu. Teacher welfare is critical in Islamic schools because salary certainty affects motivation, retention, and quality. In pesantren-based madrasahs, payroll capacity depends on limited income, making planning a governance concern. This research employed a qualitative field design. Data were collected through observation, interviews with foundation leaders, madrasah managers, and teachers, and documentation. The first finding shows that teacher payroll is managed internally by the foundation and madrasah. Its implementation depends on student fees, donations, and funds. The second finding reveals that salary planning is conducted annually through the madrasah budget mechanism. However, salary amounts are not guided by formal standards. The third finding indicates limited transparency and teacher participation in payroll planning. Teachers understand attendance and teaching hours as salary indicators, but not the full calculation process. This condition weakens perceived fairness and welfare. This study contributes to Islamic education management by integrating payroll planning, financial capacity, and teacher welfare. It also offers a basis for fairer, more transparent, and sustainable salary governance in madrasahs.]]>
