Salary items are divided into four types: Salary items, deduction, taxes, and other calculations. You can add or modify salary items and deduction items,

but it is limited to changes which can be made to pre-defined items. It is not possible edit items that are calculated by the system, since only the system knows what rules should be applied.

Companies cannot add new tax items or other calculation items. The modification of these two kinds of items is also restricted.

For example, the only changes allowed on tax are change of names or change of sequence on the salary slip.

Each item has its specific number when printed on the salary slip. Some numbers of salary items have a specific meaning for the system and therefore are not allowed to be changed.

The Name of salary items will be displayed on the salary slip as well.

It is the number that determines the order salary items printed on the salary slip.

It decides if the salary items will be used specifically (For example in December or vacation). Once defined, the system will not forget to use specific item in specific month.

It decides whether the amount of the salary item will be calculated by the system.

It decides whether you can record % of amount as the amount that is used in salary calculation. If, for example, employee only worked for half of a year, it is possible to record a percentage in holiday allowance and December allowance. If the % is recorded, it will always appear on the salary slip.

It defines whether entering the number of units is allowed. For example, for the item ‘overwork hours’, the calculated result will be an amount multiplied by the number of hours. If the number of units is allowed and entered, it will always appear on the salary slip.

It defines whether the item should be used for tax calculation.

It defines whether the item should be calculated as salary related expense.

Defines whether the item should be calculated as salary related vacation.

 Defines whether the item is set to zero or not.

It defines whether the item should be treated as part of pension.

All items that are selected for the report (sent to pension fund), are also recorded in the general ledger separately as pension fund.

It controls in which fields in the salary tax slip each item goes at the end of the year. It will not be shown on salary slip but will only be sent electronically to the tax authority.

It controls how the item will be shown in the accounting books. You do not need to change these controls since they are automatically well defined. If you are not using Regla as your accounting system, it is possible to define a translation of key set for the system you used. Please see next chapter for more information regarding the translation of accounting keys.

For a deduction item, you can choose to get a detailed summary in accounting system for each employee to see how the item reflects on every employee. (For example, you can get an advanced breakdown of specific employee’s salary deduction items).
