Hourly Payments
This section discusses:
Overview of earnings for overtime payments.
Earnings that use the rate from compensation for code C13600.
Earnings that use the rate from the job hourly rate.
Earnings that use rate in the customer maintained overtime table.
Earnings automatically derived for hourly payments
Other hourly payments.
We recommend that customers use the earnings that are described in this section for overtime payments. Swiss payroll provides samples that take the rate from the compensation, job or overtime setup. Furthermore, these earnings were setup to automatically create the mandatory additional earnings that compensate hourly workers for holidays and vacation. To adjust these earnings to the your needs, update the table with overtime pay rates and the two brackets that provide the percentage for holiday and vacation compensation.

Calculation
CH_ER_13600 is the standard earning to calculate hourly payments. The rate can be selected as Net-Rate or Gross-Rate. According to the options that you select, the percentages in the setup table need to be maintained as a rate that includes payment for vacation and holidays. Earnings CH_ER_14010 and CH_ER_14020 are calculated automatically. You can then add them to the salary or just generate them for informational purposes.
Source of value
Hours come from units that are entered manually. The rate comes from rate code C13600 as provided in compensation on the employee level. You can override this rate manually.
Specifics
By virtue of a court act from 2004, a person that is paid on an hourly basis can claim payments for vacation and holidays. By contract it is mandatory that these payments are specified. In case it's not obvious from the contract, the employee can claim these payments on top of the hourly rate. Therefore, it is necessary to display the components that are dedicated to this task. In the delivered DEMO version, the earnings and percentages are shown as net payments, which means they are added to the regular salary (accumulator CH_00_0).
