Employees

When you are logged in, you can find the Employees page here.

In the employee register, you add your employees. You need to add all employees here in order to create salaries for them.

Many employees have the same salary and benefits every month. To avoid having to enter these manually for each month’s payroll run, you can configure these on the employee in the register. Configured values will be used as a starting point each time it’s time to create the month’s salary.

Add information about each employee such as employment type, salary, contact information, bank account, tax table, and vacation settings.

You can find the employee register under Anställda in the menu for Löner och anställda.

Add Employee

You need to add employees in the employee register in order to pay salaries to them. Click on the Lägg till anställd button when you have the register open.

Fill in the details about the employee to be added and click on Spara to add the employee to the register.

See the section Explanation of the fields for an employee below for more information.

Transfer from another payroll system

If you are moving an employee from another payroll system, you need to fill in initial accumulated salary values when you add the employee. It is not possible to add accumulated values after an employee has been added.

Answer yes to the question Har du skött lön för den anställde i ett annat lönesystem? when you add the employee and fill in the values.

Update Employee Details

In the employee register, click on the employee you want to update. You can find deactivated employees under the Inaktiva tab.

When you have clicked on the employee you want to update, change the details that need updating and click on the Spara button.

Standard Salary

Many parts of a salary recur from month to month. It can be about benefits, housing compensation, or a parent who is on partial parental leave for a number of months in a row.

To facilitate handling of this, you can create a so-called standard salary that is used as a basis when you do a payroll run. Instead of entering these salary lines over and over again each month, you only need to create them once as a standard salary and then have them automatically set up for the employee each month going forward.

Edit Standard Salary

Edit an employee’s standard salary by clicking on Redigera standardlön under the heading Lön.

Now you can edit the employee’s standard salary just like when you edit an individual salary in a payroll run. Changes you make here will automatically be included on the employee’s salary at the next payroll run.

Note that if you want to change the employee’s base salary (monthly salary or hourly wage) you do this on the employee’s profile and not on this standard salary.

Advance Vacation Pay

If the company applies advance vacation pay, you can add it to the employee’s profile under the Semester tab.

Under the heading Semesterinställningar you can add or change the employee’s advance vacation pay.

The values you enter will change the calculated values by being added to the sums. By adding negative numbers, you subtract from the sum.

Note that the number of days and vacation pay liability in kronor change separately.

It can take up to 24 hours after a change is made here before it takes effect and the total sums are recalculated.

Degree of Employment

You can add and edit changes in the degree of employment that occur during the current vacation year.

Click on Lägg till ändrad tjänstgöringsgrad and fill in the date from when the change applies and which degree of employment applies from that date.

Deactivate an Employee

If an employee leaves and should no longer receive salary, you need to deactivate the employee. Do this by changing the employee’s status to Inaktiv - får inte lön under the heading Anställning.
