Salary Rate

The salary rate for monthly wage recipients is calculated on the basis of gross wage in the Wage Rate Amount field and divided by the number of monthly hours in the Monthly divider field.

The input is slightly different for hourly wage recipients:

Upon the input of the Monthly divider and the corresponding hourly wage in the Salary rate field, the gross wage (fictitious) is calculated in the Wage Rate Amount field. The Salary rate field is then highlighted with blue color.

The Wage rate amount field for hourly wage recipients is used, for example, as a comparison option for monthly wage recipients. In addition, both amounts will be displayed on various assessments like Pay rise list.

If you change the Salary rate for an hourly wage recipient, 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.

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 salary, 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 IT 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.
