Resignation Date

Entry field for the resignation date of your employees. With the input of the resignation date, all salary related assessments will be completed.

Always set the correct resignation date!

ALWAYS record the correct date of resignation at the time of Payroll processing. Based on the date of resignation, all extrapolation bases for the ALV, UVG and income tax pro rata temporis will be calculated correctly. Moreover, with the use of the date of resignation automatic calculations and payments of the 13th Payday, holiday pay (hourly wage) and reduction of the holiday credit balance will also be made. This resignation date is also decisive for the year-end statements, for the salary certificate, as well as the deadline for the unified salary report via ELM.

If the resignation date at the time of Payroll process was NOT set correctly or not set at all, all the assessments by the end of the year as well as calculations of leaving payment days will be faulty.

Important note on additional payments

If you still have to pay benefits for an employee after his/her resignation from the company, you must NEVER remove the resignation date in no case. Otherwise, the SwissSalary will recognize it as a normal salary payment (active period). I.e. the leaving date remains unchanged for additional payments of any benefits (e.g., bonus, remaining hours payments, etc.), which are clearly related to the previous employment period.

Re-recruitment

In the case of an actual re-recruitment, you remove at first the resignation date and set the correct re-recruitment date afterwards in the Employment Date for Payroll field. The Employment Date field remains unchanged.

The Date of Resignation field is one of the most important fields in SwissSalary. Using this field will not only limit the duration of employment, but also will initiate many automatic operations. Thus, for example, the monthly wage will be reduced pro rata temporis, the holiday credit balances will be calculated correctly, any wage items can be corrected on request, etc.
