Employees – HR

This form contains a list of all company employees and can also be used to record job applicants. It includes all the basic data required for payroll calculation.

Main toolbar

Click the "New" button or press the keyboard shortcut Alt+N to open the form for a new record.

The top toolbar of the form contains a number of buttons whose functions are described in the separate chapter "Program Controls".

Person Settings

When creating a new employee record, this field is set to "Unlimited – Unlimited". If a change occurs for an employee (e.g. they change their name, address, start working at a different department, etc.), use the "Add Settings" button to open a dialog and create a new settings entry that will be valid from the date you specify.

Once the date is saved, the field will change to, for example, 14.05.2010 – Unlimited. Using the drop-down list, you can see that the previous settings entry was automatically ended on the day before the new settings took effect, e.g. Unlimited – 13.5.2010.

If you make changes in the upper tabs of the employee record and save them under a new settings entry, the new data will only be displayed within that new settings entry. By selecting the original settings entry, you will be able to view the original, unmodified data.

If you want to remove a new settings entry, use the "Delete Settings" button. This will remove the date restriction from the original person settings entry and will also undo all changes made in the upper tabs.

This field contains the employee's personal number and can hold up to 20 characters – digits and/or letters. In the "Basic Information" tab, you can fill in the "Alternative Employee Number" field if you need to assign an additional number to the employee.

Person Group

This is an optional field that allows you to divide employees into groups for the purpose of different gross wage accounting, wage compensation accounting, or based on their different relationship to the company, etc. The creation and meaning of person groups is managed in a separate list.

Select the appropriate person group using the drop-down list arrow. If you need to create a new group or edit an existing one, you can open it here by pressing F2.

Department

Enter the department where the employee will be registered and to which you want to post payroll costs. Select the appropriate department using the drop-down list arrow from the department list. This code list can be customized by the user using the F2 key.

Advance Liability Type

Use the "magnifier" to select the liability type, i.e. the document type to which the advance payment schedule for this employee will be posted and where the relevant accounting template is set. This setting takes precedence over the default settings. It is used in cases where you want to post advances differently for certain employees.

This setting takes precedence over the default settings. It is used in cases where you want to post supplementary payments differently for certain employees.

Tax Declaration Signed

A taxpayer may sign an income tax declaration with only one payer (employer). If the employee has signed this declaration with your company, check this box. Signing it determines the eligibility for non-taxable allowances, tax credits, the method of taxation, and annual tax settlement. Only after this box is checked is it possible to, for example, select children for the child tax credit.

If the employee actually claims the taxpayer credit for themselves, this is selected in the following "Tax Credits" tab.

The law states that if a taxpayer signs the tax declaration within 30 days of starting employment, the employer – as the tax withholder – will apply the tax credits from the month of the employee's start date.

Tax Non-Resident

A tax non-resident is a taxpayer who does not have a permanent residence in the Czech Republic and does not stay here for at least 183 days in a calendar year. If your employee is a tax non-resident, check the Tax Non-Resident box.

Insured Person Number

In health insurance, the insured person number is used for unambiguous identification. The insured person number is typically the national ID number. In certain cases, particularly where duplicate national ID numbers have been detected or when assigning numbers to persons without permanent residence, the health insurance provider assigns a different number that is similar to the national ID number format.

Health Insurance – Top-Up to Minimum Assessment Base

Check this box if it will be necessary to calculate a top-up of health insurance contributions to the minimum wage level. This applies to cases where an employee in the primary employment relationship (for whom the state is not also an insurance payer) receives remuneration below the minimum wage due to absences (unpaid leave, unauthorized absence). If the employee has multiple income sources within the organization, the sum of all income is taken into account.

If the employee only has agreements or occasional employment, or if the state is the health insurance payer for the employee, leave the Health Insurance – Top-Up field unchecked.

"Attachments" tab

The top toolbar of the table contains a number of buttons, some of which are described in the separate chapter "Program Controls".

Use the button to add a new attachment. When adding an attachment, you can choose from the following options:

  • File – a file from your local computer is loaded into the database,

  • Internet link – the application records a link (URL); the data of the referenced source is not loaded into the application,

  • File link – the application records a link to a file on the local computer's disk; the file data is not loaded into the application (do not rename, move, or delete the referenced file).

Next to each attached file, there is a "folder" icon that allows you to view the attachment at any time. The "floppy disk" icon allows you to save the attachment to a different location. The "scanner" button is used to scan the document, and the second option allows you to select the scanner and scanning parameters.

"Employment" tab

This tab covers all employment relationship options and all related aspects. A separate chapter, Employment, is dedicated to this topic.

"Shifts" tab

The individual entries in this table are filled in automatically for each employee based on the data entered in the "Employment" tab.

If an employee has, for example, two employment contracts, this table will have two rows filled in for each month.

New entries cannot be created here, nor can existing ones be deleted. The only accessible button is "Edit". Clicking this button opens an interactive shift entry table. The program draws information from this table for payroll calculation, so particular care should be taken when completing it.
If shifts are regular, the entire table is filled in automatically based on the data in the "Employment" tab.

In the case of illness, holiday, or other absences, the table is adjusted manually – by clicking on individual cells or by dragging the mouse across multiple cells. Similarly, the table is filled in manually if shifts are irregular.
