Salary Amount

Input field for the acquisition of 100% of gross salary (including part-time employees). The percentage for a part-time employee who receives a monthly wage is entered in the Employment % field.

If you have entered the monthly wage type in the Salary type field, SwissSalary automatically defines it as a monthly wage (the Salary amount field is highlighted with blue). If no salary type has been entered, SwissSalary starts a calculation from an individual hourly rate (see the Wage rate field).

If you change the amount in theSalary amount, you will be automatically asked whether the fictitious BV wage base should be updated accordingly. If the answer is ‘yes’, you will be additionally asked when the changed BV calculation date should be activated. If you have not answered the questions properly and want to correct the entries later, you can do it manually in fields BV Calculation Date and Fictitious BV Wage.

NOTE:

This question appears as long as the Wage subject to BV field is set to fictitious. Otherwise, the BV wage basis is calculated according to the effective reported wage.

TimeMachine |Timeline in the Area of Wages

This way, for example, you can record changes in wages made by trainees and/or record sample wages in the future by clicking the 3 dots. TimeMachine will open. You enter new wages, wage rates or percents by position with the 'Valid from' date on the left side. The History on the right side displays the historically recorded wages already accounted for.

Of course, the timeline covers both the future and the past. For example, if you make a retroactive wage adjustment, enter the corresponding date in the 'Valid from' date field, and the new value in the field. SwissSalary will calculate the correction and subsequent charges automatically (similar to WT calculation in case of retroactive corrections).

TimeMachine also works in case of changes during the month, e.g. when changing the trainees' wage during the month. You can also make multiple entries for the future.
