Salary¶
The Salary application administers what a company owes its employees, and reconciles it with the figures returned by the payroll provider. It deliberately does not calculate payroll: there is no formula engine and no tax calculation in the application. What it does is:
record the engagements (employment relationships) of a person, and the dated chain of salary terms that fix the agreed amount;
build a monthly salary sheet per engagement, where every value — the base salary included — is a line referring to a component of a catalogue;
reconcile those lines with the figures the external payroll program returns, and report the deviations;
close the month immutably, so that a later correction of a time off request can never silently rewrite a month that has already been reported.
Important
Salary requires the Employees and Time Off applications, and it works on employee contracts.
Everything that differs between countries — salary components, contribution regimes and engagement types — is data, shipped by a localization module. Install the localization for the company’s country, for example Hungary, before using the application; without one the catalogues are empty.
Engagements and salary terms
Record employment relationships and the agreed salary that applies from a given date.
Salary periods
Open a month, generate its sheets, and close it immutably.
Salary sheets
The monthly grid of amounts and days per engagement.
Reconciliation
Import the payroll provider’s statement and handle the deviations.
Configuration
Salary components, engagement types, contribution regimes and time off mapping.
Hungary
The Hungarian data set and its specific rules.
Access rights¶
The application ships three access groups, configured per user in :
Salary User: sees the Salary menu, the engagements, terms, periods and sheets, and may enter amounts on an open sheet.
Salary Manager: in addition, may confirm and close records, open the Configuration menu, and correct a wage that no longer matches the salary term.
Salary Approver: may reopen a closed salary period or salary sheet.
Salary data is personal data of the employees. Only grant these groups to the people who administer payroll.
