International payroll

Payroll for companies in Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Spain, France, Norway and Sweden.

If your company is not in Germany, People, Payroll uses the payroll of your country pack. The sidebar shows Payroll runs and Employees. If your country has no payroll calculation, the page says "No payroll is available for your country."

Covered countries and their files: Austria: social security, wage tax, special payments, employer contributions and municipal tax, the monthly contribution report (mBGM) and the wage slip L16 for ELDA, and a worksheet of the wage levies. Switzerland: wage statement (form 11), Swissdec ELM XML (not certified), the annual AHV wage report and the withholding tax list. Denmark: AM contribution, A tax from the tax card, ATP, holiday pay and the eIndkomst file. Spain: social security, IRPF withholding, the Sistema RED worksheets (RNT and RLC), the Modelo 111 worksheet and the Modelo 190 file. France: social contributions, CSG and CRDS, withholding tax and the monthly DSN. Norway: tax deduction, employer contribution and the a melding XML. Sweden: tax tables, employer contributions and the AGI file.

Steps

  1. 1. Complete the payroll master data

    Open Employees and click a person. The form "Payroll master data" shows exactly the fields your country needs. If none are needed, it says so.

  2. 2. Create a run

    Open Payroll runs and click "New payroll run". Choose year and month. There is one regular run per month. Off cycle runs for bonuses or exit pay are possible in addition.

  3. 3. Enter variable pay

    In the Inputs tab add bonuses, overtime, allowances, benefits in kind and advances per employee: choose the item, the amount and, where asked, hours, days or kilometres. Click "Save inputs". Or click "Import CSV" with one line per input: personnel number; code; amount; quantity.

  4. 4. Calculate and approve

    Click Calculate. Check the payslips in "Payslips & files", with each line, base, rate and amount, and the PDF. Click Approve. Once approved, the run can no longer be recalculated; Reopen sends it back to draft.

  5. 5. Post

    Click Post. The payroll entry is written to the ledger. "Open the payroll entry" shows it.

  6. 6. File

    The filing files appear under the run after the calculation. Download them, upload them in the portal of the authority and record the outcome under Submissions.

  7. 7. Correct

    For a posted run click "Create correction run". Posting it books only the difference, and its filing files are marked as corrections.

Good to know

  • A yellow "Review required" banner means the calculation for your country has not been signed off by a local payroll expert yet. Check every payslip before you pay or file it.
  • BizCortex does not transmit the files directly to the authorities. You upload them yourself.
  • There is no SEPA payment file and no payment posting in the international payroll yet.
  • The CSV import is limited to about 2 MB.
