Annual and monthly journal

In bookkeeping and payroll accounting, the term "journal" refers to the document containing all the entries made and the basis for their calculation.

The journal is created automatically after the end of a month or during the current year.

Monthly journal:

You can find the detailed journal via the overview page of the settlements, at the bottom right under "Documents and Evaluations":

This is the detailed journal for the month you are currently in. A monthly journal is created for each employee and is available as soon as the payroll status is set to "Paid".

The monthly journal helps you to understand the calculation basis for each contribution, the number of days included in the calculation (SI days), the WT rate/table, the employment level and many other important information relevant to understanding payroll.

The detailed journal can also be found in the company's reports.

Annual journal:

The annual journal is a document that follows the same principle, but for the entire year. In the annual journal, you have access to an overview of the entire current year. The annual journal can be viewed at any time under Evaluations > Settlement > Annual journal:

Please note that the annual journal is only updated if the month has been definitively completed (settlement status: "Definitive").

The top line shows all months of the current year. The left-hand column shows the type of deductions/contributions.

If certain calculations are unclear, the annual journal provides an overview of the calculations over the course of the year.
