Global Payroll for Switzerland enables you to generate and adapt payslips to meet your needs. You can also send a message (printed on the payslip) to an individual payee or to payees belonging to designated pay groups, locations, or departments.

The system generates an additional row per earning marked with an asterisk for the total of the retro results. Employee and pay summary data for the given month are printed in the header. This includes date of birth, starting date with the organization, location, department, religion, bank account details, currency in which the earnings are to be paid, and holiday entitlement for the remainder of the year. The run control for the payslip is a two-page component consisting of the Payslip Options page and the Payslip Element View page.

Global Payroll for Switzerland enables you to generate and adapt payslips to meet your needs. To support archiving and specific layout and printing needs, the design of the standard payslip supports the separation of data storage and data presentation.

In the first step the system creates an XML file and stores it in the GPCH_RP_AL10ONL record. A user can then view the XML file in their browser using the standard Stylesheet (XSL) GPCH_STYLE_KW1. Users can also create a PDF file from the XML and then print it.

Use the Payslip Options page (GPCH_RC_AL01_1) to run the Payslip report for Global Payroll Switzerland.

Note: Define the elements that you want to display in multiple currencies on your payslip. You may want to see the values of some elements (gross and net, for example) in a different currency. This is especially useful for organizations in countries participating in the EMU—you can display key amounts in both the local currency and the Euro.

Field or Control

Description

Language

Payslip supports these languages: English, French, German, and Italian. For languages that are not supported, the system automatically uses the base language.

Apply Context Language

The payslip is printed in the language of the employee.

Multiple Payslips

Select to print payslips for more than one month in a single request.

When you select this option, all fields on the page except Print Class, Pay Entity, From Date, Current Pay End Date and EmplID are hidden. Enter the from date and the current pay end date and select the employees for whom you want to print the payslips.

Note: When you select this option you cannot create new payslips. You can only print payslips that have been previously generated.

Print Class

Select a print class. The system includes two standard print classes, although you can create your own.

Currency Code

Select the currency in which to print the payslip. The system performs a currency conversion in case the processing currency isn't the specified currency.

Sort Criteria

Select sort criteria. Values include Canton, Company, Deptid (department ID), Empid (employee ID), Location, Name, and PayGroup.

Print Only, Interface Only, and Print & Interface

The Print Only option always uses the interface record as its source. Select the Print Only option if the report has already been run with either the Interface Only or the Interface & Print option selected. The Print Option creates PDF output. The Interface Only option creates only an interface record that stores the data as XML

Regenerate Interface

Select to regenerate the interface.

When you run the payslip with the Interface Option selected, the process compares timestamps of the payroll (GP_PYE_SEG_STAT) and the Interface record. If the timestamps are identical, the system does not generate a new version. If you need a new version due to a change on the setup for earning description or message generation, you can force the regeneration, even if no payroll happened in between (as long as the period isn't finalized).

Final

Select to finalize the pay period. Once the period is finalized, you cannot change it any longer. The payslip is frozen.

Print Vacation Details

Select to print vacation details in the upper right corner of the payslip.

Print Time Stamp

Select to print the timestamp of the generation in the footer of the payslip.

To create the Swiss version of the online payslip follow these steps:

  1. Click Run.

    The system displays the Process Scheduler Request page.

  2. Select the Payslip Delta check box.

  3. Click OK.

Note: Selecting the Online Payslip CHE job check box on the Process Scheduler Request page creates the same PDF as PDF Delta SQR. The system, however, uses a GP Core process to create the online payslip and the mobile payslip (if both were enabled during ePay setup) and then makes it available for self service and mobile access.
