Type

2. Type
Clock workers can earn an hourly wage or a fixed wage. This is discussed more in depth here.
3

Actual hours

3. Actual hours
The actual hours worked by the employee will be shown in red. This is NOT shown on the pay slips. This is obtained directly from the attendance report.
4

Actual hours versus Paid hours

4. Actual hours versus Paid hours
 
Changes between the actual and paid hours can be because of balancing of short time and overtime or the adjustment of hours because of labour law specifications.
 
1. When the system adjusts hours, the reason for the adjustment can be seen on the 'Print adjusted hours explanation' printout.
The first page of the report will show the employee's attendance for the applicable period, and if the system did adjust these hours, it will be shown on the right hand side of the report. The explanation for these numbers can be seen on the last page of the report.
The last page of the 'adjusted hours' report: (these rules will differ if the company doesn't fall in the farming sector.
2. The paid hours column can differ from the actual hours, if short time and overtime is balanced. The same pay slip printed above, will look as follows, if short time and overtime has been balanced:
The normal time increased from 54.00 to 60.00 and the employee's overtime was used as normal time. In this case the employee must first fill their normal time before they can start receiving overtime.
55. Move overtime to savings plan
Any overtime can be transferred to the employee's savings plan if there is an arrangement between employee and employer. The savings plan can then be paid out with December's leave or as discussed. This is also discussed under 'questions applicable to pay slips'.
66. Remarks
 
If you want to show the employee something specific, and you want it in writing, it can be entered here. The signature field is also close to the remark, so it is a good place to give certain information.
77. Pay out savings
 
The savings plan is paid out directly on the pay slip, unless the employee received cash before the pay slip was created. The cash option is done with interim savings plan transactions. When the savings plan is paid out on the pay slip, the system will automatically choose the correct pay slip item and the full savings plan amount. The amount can be modified if the employee doesn't want his/her entire savings.
This will then be listed under wage calculation and under savings plan transactions (as a withdrawal) with the current balance.

Additional payments and/or deductions

8. Additional payments and/or deductions
All payments and deductions will be listed here. Some of the items are system generated items and cannot be edited or deleted.
9

Bank information of employee

9. Bank information of employee
The bank information of the employee will be shown here if it was imported into the system. This will also be printed on the pay slip provided it is set like this and doesn't overlap with other settings.

Print tax calculation/pay slip

10. Print tax calculation/pay slip
The pay slip or the tax calculation can be printed for a specific employee. Choose the printout you are looking for, check the correct box and click on OK.
  • The tax calculation printout is a report with the employee's income, deductions and tax up to this point and it explains why the PAYE is what it is.
  • The pay slip can be printed at a later stage as well.
1111. Paid hours/Tariff/Amount
The system multiplies the hours with the tariff to get the amount for each field.
1212. Tax year
The tax year will be shown on the pay slip.
1313. Calculate tariffs
If the employee's tariff changes, use the 'Calculate tariffs' option. The system will then adjust all the amounts: overtime, Sunday time, night work, etc. If you only change one field on the pay slip, there will be no other adjustments made.
14

Breakdown of days (worked/leave)

14. Breakdown of days (worked/leave)
This gives a reflection of what happened in the pay period. How many days did the employee work, how many days was he absent, was the employee on leave, etc.
1515. Leave pay
If the employee wants to sell leave or when the employee's services are terminated, leave can be paid out here. VERY NB: If the employee goes on leave, DO NOT pay out his/her leave. Add leave under his/her name, and create pay slips for the correct periods.
1616. Read about public holidays
Read more about how payment on public holidays work.
1717. Employer UIF contribution
How much is the employer's UIF contribution?
1818. Recalculate UIF
Force the system to recalculate UIF. Sometimes, there is a third decimal that implicates the calculation, and by recalculating it here, the system sorts itself out.
1919. No UIF
If no UIF should be deducted, this block can be checked. Remember there are legally 3 reasons why one does not deduct UIF. The correct reason can be selected under the employee's personal data.
2020. Recalculate TAX
Force the system to recalculate tax, the system is suppose to do it automatically.
2121. Maximum exceeded
This is a warning that one of the pay slip items deducts more than the legal maximum. Read more about this by clicking on the 'Maximum exceeded' button.
2222. OK (Save)
Save the pay slip.
2323. Quit
Discard any changes made. The system will give a warning where it will ask you what must happen to the changes. If it should be discarded, choose 'Discard', otherwise choose 'Retain' and then click on OK (Save).
2424. Insert/Change/Delete
Pay slip items can be added, edited or deleted. Some of the system generated items cannot be deleted or changed.
