Description

The most common type of loan is an interest-bearing loan. We will first explain what this is to familiarise you with the default procedure and the terminology. An interest-bearing loan has the following characteristics:

  • Principal sum

    The amount that the employer lends to the employee. You choose whether to pay this out with the salary. If so, then the principal sum is included in the payment file and this is listed on the pay slip with the payments.

  • Repayment schedule

    The repayment schedule contains the repayments (excluding interest) that the employee is required to repay periodically. You decide whether to deduct this from the net wages. If so, Profit deducts these payments from the net wage and reports this on the pay slip.

    The periodic repayment does not need to be the same every month; it can be adjusted so that the deduction is higher in the month that the holiday allowance is paid, for example.

  • Interest

    The interest percentage is recorded together with the loan. If repayments are deducted from the net wage, Profit determines the interest during processing, deducts it from the net wage and reports it on the pay slip.

    Example: 

    An employee paid per month agrees to a loan of €5,000 with an interest rate of 4.5%. You pay the principal sum together with the January salary and as from February there is a monthly deduction of € 500.

    In January, the employee receives the net wages plus the principal sum of €5,000.

    For the periods February - November (10 instalments) Profit deducts a repayment of €500 and the interest from the net wage of the employee per period.

In Profit Payroll, the payment of the principal sum and the deductions can only take place in the periods in which the employee is employed. In addition, repayment based on a back pay contract is also possible.

If you are using multiple simultaneous employments, then all the calculations, payments and deductions are made through the main employment.

An employee can have multiple simultaneously running loans.
