In the Netherlands, employers have to provide their employees with a payslip that contains income information for each pay period. There are some minimum statutory requirements about the information to be included on payslips, but most employers provide more than the minimum requirements. With Global Payroll for the Netherlands, you have the flexibility to create your own payslip layout, format, and information, according to your company's needs.

To define payslips use the Templates NLD component (GPNL_PAYSLIP):

  1. Select the pay groups that share the same template on the Payslip Setup page.

  2. Select the fields from the Job Data record, such as BUSINESS_UNIT, or LOCATION to determine the processing order of the employees on the Sort Keys page. You can sort elements in ascending or descending order.

  3. Select the earnings and deductions that you want included on the payslip, as well as the layout of the payslip on the Earnings and Deductions page.

  4. Select the year-to-date accumulators you want included on the payslip on the Accumulators page.

Description

Retro

Select the Retro tab.

Retro Type

Indicate how retro results will be printed on the payslip. For example, let's say that an employee has a monthly gross salary of 5500 EUR but in the months of January and February, the gross salary was incorrectly calculated as 5000 EUR. In the March payroll, this mistake is corrected, resulting in a recalculated result and a retro pay of 1000 EUR. If you select:

Current and Adjustment: Both the current results and the adjusted results appear on separate lines. The adjusted result appears as a single total amount. In our example, there will be one line showing the current amount of 5500 EUR for the month of March, and another line showing the recalculated amount of 1000 EUR (500 EUR each for January and February.)

Current and Deltas: Both the current results and the adjusted results appear on separate lines. The adjusted results are further broken down by pay period. In our example, there will be one line showing the current amount of 5500 EUR for the month of March, another line showing the recalculated amount of 500 EUR for January, and a third line showing the recalculated amount of 500 EUR for February.

One Line: Both the current results and the recalculated results appear as a single combined amount on the same line. In our example, there will be one line showing the current and adjusted amount of 6500 EUR for the month of March.

Use these check boxes to indicate in which column(s) the resulted amount of the elements are printed.

Note. In the Netherlands, it is possible to print non-regular payments such as the holiday allowance and the 13th month allowance on a separate payslip. You can specify whether these allowances are processed in a separate pay run or a regular pay run during setup. Information on how to set up the holiday allowance and the 13th month allowance is discussed earlier in this PeopleBook.
