Setting Up BESTA Reports

Global Payroll for Switzerland supports the quarterly printing of BESTA reports for the statistics office To run the BESTA report you need to:

1. Create the BFS_OFS provider (select Set Up HCM, Product Related, Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Social Security/Insurance, Providers CHE).

2. Fill in the Swiss company location table with the BUR (Betriebs-und Unternehmensregisternumer; the location ID assigned by the statistics office) and building numbers (select Set Up HCM, Product Related, Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Social Security / Insurance, Company Location CHE, Company Location CHE).

3. Define active employees and apprentices using the Bracket Data page (Set Up HCM, Product Related, Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Elements, Supporting Elements, Data).

   Note: The BESTA report considers employees designated as apprentice on the Bracket Data page where the values for APPRENTICE match the grade of the employee and the values for INCLUDE match the employee status.
