Time Calculation

You can report hours and days using just a single salary type! Through clever automation, the reported hours are automatically converted into days based on the actual work calendar and reported accordingly. This approach is especially fun if you use work calendar. Those who do not want to use work calendar can also enter days manually in the “Calculation of time” window.

As soon as you want to report the MW holidays in hours, SwissSalary requires the corresponding time period of the work calendar. Thanks to this information about the ‘holiday’ period, SwissSalary can determine the number of days. You can manually overwrite this requirement at any time.

If you forget to enter the period, the following information will appear: Please limit your period!

The “Calculation of time” window always tells you the number of hours and days that you have just reported. Of course, days will only be displayed if you have specified this for the corresponding salary type. If you do not want to use this enhancement, you can report hours and days separately as before.

When data is entered in the Report journal and in the Allocated Salary, a notice appears that the salary type should normally be entered positive or negative. This message relates to the setup of the salarx type (positive/negative). This is only a notice, not an error message that can, however, be disruptive in the case of bulk entries via Excel import or other interfaces.
