1. Add salary statement

Open the dialog for a new payroll statement in the Salaries area via Add.

Monthly salary is set by default in the Template field. Templates for hourly wages and options with withholding tax are available here via the drop-down menu.

The date field controls the month for which the payroll statement is created. By default, the 20th of the month is set and the 25th of the month is set for the payment date. The other fields such as Status, No. and Currency can be optionally adjusted.

It is now mandatory to select an employee.

Explanation for beginners:
Each line in the table is referred to as a salary type. The salary types are divided into salary, allowances and deductions.

2. Enter monthly salary

The basic salary is now entered first in the still grayed out monthly salary line. The salary type is edited by double-clicking on the corresponding salary type or by selecting it and clicking on Edit.

The basic salary, the number of days and the employment level (workload) are now entered. The AHV/ALV deductions are calculated automatically with Apply.

Further deductions and allowances are added to the payroll statement via Add. In the example, we add a child allowance.

4. Set up recurrence

To create a recurring payroll statement, configure the recurrence at the bottom left with the Recurrence button.

The document can be generated at an earlier time to ensure that it is sent at the correct time. The default setting here is 20 days.

If required, set the notification (to your own e-mail address) that new payroll statements have been created.
