Payroll in the cash flow

The Planner adds two payroll items per month: net wages on the pay day and contributions on the contribution day. You set both days in the HR settings; a month's wages are paid in the following month.

The amounts come from the compensation recorded on HR profiles. A few rules that explain what you see on the curve:

• Employees in one item. They do not appear one by one, but as one "Wages" and one "Contributions" item per month. A liquidity plan does not need to know who earns what.
• If no net wage is recorded, the split between wages and contributions cannot be worked out, because deductions depend on personal allowances. The whole monthly cost then goes on the pay day – better early than not at all.
• Contractors get a separate item per partner, marked "contractor fee (estimate)".
• Once the contractor's invoice has arrived for that month, the invoice replaces the estimate, so the fee is not counted twice.
• Nobody is paid after leaving. The end of employment on the HR profile stops it.
• With a raise, the amount valid on the last day of the month counts for the whole month, without pro-rating.

If the pay day or the contribution day falls on a weekend or public holiday, wages move to the previous working day (they must arrive by then), while contributions move to the next working day.
