Calculate holiday hours on daytime work: If holiday hours are not calculated to payment, it is possible to calculate the holiday hours to stack up for the employee. On the bottom of the salary slip the gathered holiday hours will be visible as well as used up and remaining holiday hours. If this checkbox is checked then two more salary items will be added, 191 – Holiday hours and 192 - Used holiday hours. When the time comes to pay out the holiday hours then the salary item 192 – Used holiday hours should be used.

 

Calculate holiday hours on overtime work: Same description as the one above. This option decides if the holiday hours should be calculated for overtime work or not. It is not possible to calculate holiday hours solely for overtime work.

 

Work hours in a month: If the holiday hours are calculated for fixed monthly or weekly salary, it is needed to register how many work hours are in a month so the system can calculate hourly rates. Work hours in a month are diverse and depend on the contract made with each union. For example, for office employees in the VR union the monthly hours are 160 while for service employees in the VR union, the monthly hours are 170.

 

Excluded from tax according to contract between nations: If the directorate of internal revenue has confirmed that the employee can be excluded from tax according to contracts between nations then this box should be checked. Note that if the confirmation process is not completed with the directorate of internal revenue, then it will not be possible to send the withholding tax report.
