Register benefits with a default amount, taxable or not, deducted from salary or not, and the employee's share; linked to a person, they enter every period.
Registering a benefit
Under Benefits, create the benefit with a name, type (transport voucher, meal voucher, health plan, premium, among others), description and default amount. Three flags define its behaviour in payroll: whether it is taxable (enters the tax and contribution base), whether it is deducted from salary and what percentage is paid by the employee.
A transport voucher, for instance, is deducted from salary with the employee share capped at 6% of base salary; a company-paid health plan deducts nothing and appears only as an employer charge.
Linking to the employee
On the employee record, benefits tab, add the benefit and adjust the amount if it differs from the default. While the link is active the benefit enters every period for that person; to stop it, deactivate the link instead of deleting it, and the history stays on past payslips.
Monthly variables
Overtime, night-shift premium, commissions and other amounts that change every month are entered directly on the individual payroll of the period, before "Calculate". They enter the tax and contribution base according to the item's rule and the country, and appear itemized on the payslip, line by line.
