Salary items

All common salary items are shown here. Companies can, however, add salary items if needed. The salary items control the calculation of salary.

Types of items
Salary items are divided into four types: Salary items, deduction, taxes, and other calculations. You can add or modify salary items and deduction items,
but it is limited to changes which can be made to pre-defined items. It is not possible to edit items that are calculated by the system, since only the system knows what rules should be applied.

Companies cannot add new tax items or other calculation items. The modification of these two kinds of items is also restricted.
For example, the only changes allowed on tax are change of names or change of sequence on the salary slip.

Number
Each item has its specific number when printed on the salary slip. Some numbers of salary items have a specific meaning for the system and therefore are not allowed to be changed.

Name
The name of salary items will be displayed on the salary slip as well.

Sequence of salary slip
It is the number that determines the order salary items printed on the salary slip.

In month
It decides if the salary items will be used specifically (for example in December or vacation). Once defined, the system will not forget to use specific item in specific month.

Calculated amount
It decides whether the amount of the salary item will be calculated by the system.

Allow %
It decides whether you can record % of amount as that is used in salary calculation. If, for example, employee only worked for half of a year, it is possible to record a percentage in holiday allowance and December allowance. If the % is recorded, it will always appear on the salary slip.

Number of units
It defines whether entering the number of units is allowed. For example, for the item 'overwork hours', the calculated result will be an amount multiplied by the number of hours. If the number of units is allowed and entered, it will always appear on the salary slip.

Use for tax calculation
It defines whether the item should be used for tax calculation.

Calculated expense for this item
It defines whether the item should be calculated as salary related expense.

Calculated vacation
Defines whether the item should be calculated as salary related vacation

Set to zero after booking
Defines whether the item is set to zero or not.

Pension fund definition
It defines whether the item should be treated as part of pension.
All items that are selected for the report (sent to pension fund), are also recorded in the general ledger separately as pension fund.

Field number on salary tax slip
It controls in which fields in the salary tax slip each item goes at the end of the year. It will not be shown on salary slip but will only be sent electronically to the tax authority.

Accounting key debit/credit
It controls how the item will be shown in the accounting books. You do not need to change these controls since they are automatically well defined. If you are not using Regla as you accounting system, it is possible to define a translation of key set for the system you used.

Accounting record for each employee
For a deduction item, you can choose to get a detailed summary in accounting system for each employee to see how the item reflects on every employee. (For example, you can get an advanced breakdown of specific employee's salary deduction items).
