Summary
The start date in KLARA is used for salary calculations, while the start date in the company indicates when the employee officially joined, affecting length of service but not salary.
When a new employee is registered, two important dates are requested: the start date in KLARA and the start date in the company.
Start Date in KLARA
- This date is crucial for calculating the salary within KLARA.
- It determines the salary amount that will be paid to the employee.
Start Date in Company
- This date reflects when the employee officially joined the company, as per their employment contract.
- It is necessary for calculating the length of service.
- This date does not influence salary calculations.
Payment From Period
- The month indicated in the "Payment from period" refers to the first month when the salary is processed through KLARA.
Example
To illustrate how these dates work together, consider the following example:
On 01.01.2018, you decided to manage your company's salaries through KLARA and began registering your employees. Joe Bloggs has been employed at your company since 01.08.2011. You would enter the following details for Joe:
- Start date in KLARA: 01.01.2018
- Start date company: 01.08.2011
- Payment from period: 01.2018
- First day of work: 02.08.2011 (since 01.08 is a public holiday)
If you have any uncertainties, look for the “i” next to the keyword. Hovering over it will provide additional descriptions for clarification.
