Family allowances in position 1 of the salary certificate + comments

Salary types with two positions cannot be modified at certificate position level, as they are part of the basic settings for ELM Swissdec certification. Even when these salary types are duplicated in the PRO version, the certificate bases and positions remain identical.

Solution for filling in the Observation field on employee records who received family allowances from their employer during the year:

1) Select all employee records for which you have paid family or child allowances during the year with salary type 3xxx.xx only (not salary type 3035.00 reserved for tax at source).

2) Call the Action>Apply command, choose Target Observations and enter a text such as : 

Family allowances included in gross salary.

or

Family allowances paid in gross salary.

Tip for finding all the relevant employee records :

1. Display all salaries, then call the Action>Linked records>Salary types command.
2. Select all child or family allowance salary types 3xxx.xx or 3xxx.xxx (customized) (not salary type 3035.00 reserved for tax at source only).
3. Call the Action>Linked records>Employees command.
4. Call the Edition>Select all command.
5. Call the Action>Apply command mentioned above...

The authorities will then know that the family allowances paid by the company are included in the gross salary, and will not add them back on the employee's tax return.
