What is a benefit?
Constants can often be found in the amounts that need to paid, deducted or booked for every pay period.
Some examples:
•a fixed amount for social season tickets per pay period
•a fixed amount for social season tickets per day worked
•a percentage of the gross wage (under a cap) for group insurance
•a company car, mobile phone or Luncheon Vouchers.
These calculations can be automated by using benefits.
Using benefits also eliminates a number of errors: write, read and calculate errors.
It is therefore recommended to verify which amounts and/or calculations occur periodically and to process these as benefits.
A benefit can be settled every month, sporadically or once.
A benefit consists of benefit items.
Benefit items are the building blocks of a benefit. Benefits can be allocated:
- at dossier level
Benefits at dossier level are valid for the entire dossier.
They are entirely managed by the payroll consultant. Only the Payroll Consultant can add, remove or change a benefit at dossier level.
The value of these benefit items is visible via Employees :
•Benefit management or •Master data - tab Pay package or •Monthly calendar - tab Benefits. |
- at contract level
Benefits at contract level are valid for the selected contract.
The value of these benefit items is visible via Employees in:
•Benefit management or •Master data - tab Pay package or •Monthly calendar - tab Benefits. |
- per pay period
Benefit items per pay period must be entered again every pay period.
The value of this benefit item can be changed in the Monthly calendar - tab Benefits.
