E-SALARIES
Sending salary slips to employees' online bank services
Salary slips created in Procountor can now be sent to an employee's online bank service as an e-salary.
E-salaries are taken into use in the Procountor environments usage settings by an user with sufficient user rights to the company's basic information and salaries. After selecting the e-salary feature, pop-up will open and inform the user about a new electronic agreement with Apix (the e-salary operator) about using the e-salary service. Apix delivers the salary slips to employees based on their social security numbers.
The e-salary can be selected as an employee's salary channel either one by one in the employee's basic salary information or by using the "Edit multiple" function in the employee register. The salary channel can also be changed on the salary slip.
E-salary cannot be selected as the salary channel for users with
- foreign social security numbers
- fake social security numbers (with the "UUUU" ending)
- foreign bank accounts
- bank accounts from banks that do not (yet) support the e-salary feature
*From August's version update, e-salaries can be used with the following banks: Nordea, OP, OmaSp, Säästöpankkiryhmä, POP Pankit, Aktia, Handelsbanken ja Ålandsbanken. E-salaries are currently not supported in Danske Bank or S-pankki. The integrations between Apix Messaging Oy and Danske Bank and S-pankki are currently being developed.
The salary slips sent as e-salaries are sent the same way as salary slips with other salary channels. Using the Send button will send the salary slips in their selected salary channel.
Two new columns have been added to the Salary list view and Salary slip search view. The other column shows the used salary channel (e-salary, mail etc.) and the other shows the e-salary status. The possible statuses for e-salaries are Sending, Sent, or Sending error. The column is empty in case another salary channel has been used.
After successfully sending salary slips as e-salaries, the employees can see their own salary slips in their online banking services. The exact location of the salary slips depends on the bank, more information can be found from each bank.
Sending a salary slip as an e-salary costs €0.49 per sent item (+VAT).
APPROVAL CIRCULATION
Dimension in the invoice verification view
It is now possible to see dimensions that have been set on purchase, travel and expense invoices directly on the invoice’s "Verification" view. A new panel called "Dimensions" has been introduced on the view.
On the panel users can see the dimensions and items that have been set on the invoice without the need to navigate between "Dimensions" and "Verification" views.
Next to the dimensions and items table there are two shortcut buttons, "Receipt dimensions" and "Transaction dimensions".
"Receipt dimensions" button leads directly to the receipt’s “Dimensions” view, where the dimensions of the entire receipt can be viewed and handled.
“Transaction dimensions” button can be used after selecting a transaction row from the table. The user is taken to the dimensions view of the selected transaction.
HOLIDAY CALCULATION
Improvements and fixes
- The base salary deduction row is now automatically added to the salary slip when the employee's base salary is monthly or weekly and a percentage-based holiday pay is used.
- We have added a base salary deduction row to come automaticly with percentage holiday pay if base salary is monthly or weekly.
- Replacing employer's separate report now correctly marks previous confirmed report as replaced when the previous report between the new replacing report and confirmed report has been deleted.
- Payment receipts are no longer created from replacing Employers separate reports when there's nothing to pay.
USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS
Modifying tables
- The table controlling tools have been simplified in tables that can be modified (e.g. receipt search results). All tools related to table controlling have been combined and placed to the top-right corner of the table, behind a cog wheel icon. Here, table columns can be hidden from the table and after possible modifications, the table columns can be set back to default state.
