Auto sync activated

Regular automatic synchronization with SwissSalary Direct can be recorded with this feature. It can be helpful if you have many cases of recruitment and resignations.

 

When this box is checked, a command queue items window will open. You can now select in the “Series” area the desired days the synchronization is to be carried out. Enter a start and end time and the number of minutes between each execution. For example, if you want to carry out hourly synchronization between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 pm on weekdays.

This key is generated automatically. Please never change unless a client is copied. Please note the corresponding entry.
-> view clients

Client name filter

The client name(s) the documents should be uploaded for can be entered here. For multiple clients, the client names can be entered with regular filter options, e.g. client1 | client2 | client3

 

Note:This can be helpful every time e.g. a test client is created based on the productive client. The client filter prevents the documents from being uploaded from the test client.  

Database Name

When setting up SwissSalary Direct, the database name is stored in the setup. If a copy is then made and a synchronization is triggered from this, a check of the name from the Direct setup with the current database is performed. If the two values do not match, an error message is displayed.

All employees:

Documents are also uploaded for employees that have not yet registered for SwissSalary Direct. An advantage here is that as soon as an employee has registered for SwissSalary Direct, s/he will also be able to view the payslips and any other documents uploaded in the past month.  

 

An employee is regarded registered if s/he has successfully registered in SwissSalary Direct with his/her personal registration code and confirmed his/her email address.

 

Only registered employees:

Only documents for registered employees are uploaded. This setting is recommended from the point of view of data protection. No documents are stored in a cloud if the employee does not grant express consent to this by registering.

Text block for registration code

The text to be placed for the employee on the payslip until s/he has registered for SwissSalary Direct is defined here, for example:

 

Note: %7 is the registration code placeholder and %8 is the placeholder for the web address including the subdomain for login.

 

If necessary, the text can be entered in another language by selecting this language.

 

As soon as the employee has registered for SwissSalary Direct, the text is no longer displayed on the payslip.

No email notification

If this box is checked, employees will receive no email notification when a document is uploaded. This can be useful for testing purposes or when uploading older documents multiple times.
