Setting Up the Dutch Wage Report

Before you run the Dutch Wage Report:

  1. Set up tax and social insurance deductions.

    See: Setting up Tax and Social Insurance Deductions

  2. If required, use the Legal Employer classification to record additional reporting employers for the wage report. You can record information, such as tax reference number, reporting name, and the HR organization. This task enables you to have multiple wage reports per employer.

  3. Record additional organization information as follows:

  4. Record additional assignment information using the Assignment window:

  5. Use the Further Collective Agreement Details descriptive flexfield in the Collective Agreements window to record the collective agreement code.

    Note: The application reports this collective agreement code only if you use the global collective agreement functionality.

  6. Link the legal employer to a payroll using the Further Payroll Information window. This task enables you easily to identify all employees and assignments belonging to a specific employer for the wage report.

  7. Link predefined elements, such as Holiday Coupons, Incidental Income Decrease, Additional Allowance, and New Wage Report Override. These element entries indicate whether an employee is eligible for employee benefits, such as holiday coupons and additional allowance over the UWV payments.

    To report a RetroPay calculation as a correction in the wage report, you must create an element entry for the New Wage Report Override element. The application then reports the entry under the Correction section in the wage report. This is only applicable using the old retropay. Using the adjustment retropay, all adjustments will be reported in the current period and all corrections will be reported in the correction section of the wage report.

    • You can use the element-link criteria to control eligibility for these elements based on your business requirements.

    • When you process retropay for the previous year, ensure that you run it as an adjustment.

  8. Set up appropriate feeds for the following balances:

    Note: You need to feed these balances manually using user-defined elements, as the application does not feed these balances using a classification or a sub classification.

  9. You can use the global Payroll Event Model functionality to monitor and report the HR data changes to the tax authorities through the wage report. To be able to monitor and report HR data, you must enable the Incident Register for your business group from the time you want to start monitoring changes to avoid getting invalid record in the Wage report you generate first. Use the Functional Area Maintenance window to enable the Incident Register.

    For monitoring and reporting payroll changes, use the RetroPay functionality to process retrospective calculations and then use the predefined element New Wage Report Override to manually indicate which retrospective calculation is a changed event either as an adjustment or correction.

    You can exclude a complete period previously reported for an employee by selecting Withdrawals as the value for the New Wage Report Override element.

    To avoid displaying correction amounts from the previous period in the wage report, use the Adjustment component as the RetroPay type.

  10. Use the Application Utilities Lookups window to add sector codes to the NL_SECTOR lookup.

  11. Use the shared type NL_NATIONALITY in the User Types and Statuses window to map the nationality codes to NEN1888 Norm.

    See: Creating User Types and Statuses

  12. Use the NL_EMPLOYMENT_CATEGORY shared type in the User Types and Statuses window to map employment category to code contract.

  13. You are now ready to run the Dutch Wage Report Process.
