Simple Salaries - FAQ

When are invoices generated for employer contributions?

A payroll invoice is generated immediately when the salary is paid. Invoices for employer contributions (advance tax withholding and health insurance contributions) are generated on the 6th day after the payroll month. Insurance companies invoice the company according to their own invoicing cycle.

How do my employees receive their payslips?

For salaries paid through Simple Salaries, the payslip is automatically sent to the employee by email once their email address has been added to their details. Employees can also retrieve their payslips themselves by logging into the service. The employer can also print or send the payslip to the employee by other means.

How is the No Payroll Payment notification generated?

Simple Salaries automatically reports salaries paid through the service to the Income Register. Salary notifications are made within five days of the payday (when the salary is credited to the employee's account), and separate notifications and No Pay notifications (zero notifications) are always made on the 5th day of the month following the salary payment.

A no salary payment report is made for 12 months from the last salary payment if the company employer is included in the Employer Register. No salary payment report is made if no salaries have been paid in the service.

In the service settings, you can choose not to submit separate notifications, in which case the service will not send either separate notifications or no-pay notifications. This option is recommended if the employer also pays wages through some other channel. In this case, the employer or accounting firm must submit a single separate notification of the salaries paid.

How do I add an employee's car benefit to their payslip?

An employee's car benefit must be reported monthly. When you add a car benefit to an employee's details as a default salary line, the line will automatically be included in every payslip.

1. Open the employee's details.

2. Select Edit from the employee's desktop.

3. Add the car benefit to the Default salary lines section.

4. Select Edit under the car benefit line you added.

5. Define the calculation criteria for the car benefit. The calculated tax value of the car benefit can be calculated using the tax administration's calculator.

How do I add an entrepreneur's car benefit to the payslip?

An entrepreneur's car benefit is added to the system in the same way as for employees. An entrepreneur may sometimes pay themselves only a car benefit and no salary. However, as a car benefit is a taxable benefit, tax will ultimately be payable on it.

If the salary does not include a cash salary from which the tax on the car benefit can be withheld, the tax on the car benefit will be payable in the final tax assessment after the tax year. It is therefore advisable to pay at least the amount of the withholding tax on the car benefit in cash when recording a car benefit for yourself. This will prevent any unpleasant surprises in the form of residual tax.
