Configure wage scales

You use wage scales to systematically allocate wages to employees based on the job and years of service or age. At the start of the employment, Profit automatically determines the correct scale for the employee based on his job. You specify the scale yourself. If you are using Profit Payroll, you can increase the step automatically at regular intervals.

Profit CLAs can include wage scales. The AFAS CLA Management Team integrates wage scales into a number of Profit CLAs, so you don't need to maintain the relevant wage scales yourself.

Description

Wage scales in Profit have a generic layout and only contain scales and steps (based on age or years of service) and the corresponding wage. You can record a period wage or an hourly wage.

In the CLA/term of employment you can record the applicable wage scale per job type. A job type is a group of jobs of the same gravity, level, etc. You can use the same wage scale for different CLAs, with one restriction: the type of CLA for the wage scale must match the type of CLA for the CLA itself.

You record the possible jobs of employees per employee, and group them with the job types. Employees with the same job will all fall under the same job type, which means they also fall in the same scale. You can always vary to a certain extent, for example, by manually allocating a different scale or step to an employee, after an assessment.

When an employee starts employment or gets a new salary line, Profit automatically selects the correct wage scale (based on the employee's CLA/term of employment) and the correct scale (based on the employee's job).

Wage scale based on age, job years or min/max

You can arrange a wage scale on the basis of age or years of service.

  • Age

    You arrange the wage scale by age classes, and apply a specific salary to each age class.

  • Years of service

    This is actually a wage scale based on experience in a certain job. We use the term 'years of service' because a classification in years occurs the most frequently. This means that an employee in the same job moves up a step each year, until the highest step of the wage scale is reached. However, you can also use a different classification, for example, one step every six months or every 24 months.

  • Min/Max

    In these wage scales, you record a minimum and maximum salary. Depending on the method for increasing the salary, you specify a fixed amount or a percentage for the increase.

Assign a new step to an employee

In case of a step increase, you add a new salary line to the employee. If you process the employee's salary using Profit Payroll, Profit can automatically assign a new periodic increase when it is the employee's 'turn'. As a result, the employee gets a new salary line with the new step.

If you do not process the employee's wage using Profit Payroll, you add the new salary line yourself.

Annual indexing of amounts

The scales in a wage scale always have a certain period of validity. If you need to increase the scale amounts, just add a new period line with scales to the wage scale.
