Before starting to pay salaries you should check that all the settings effecting the payment are in order. When you log in to the service for the first time there is a reminder in the overview to check your settings.
Go to Settings -> Payment settings.
Payment settings
Earnings-related pension
In case you have a pension agreement it is emportant to fill out the details of the agreement here. If you do not have a pension agreement but you need one you can order it directly from Varma by pressing the Make an earnings-related pension agreement.
Default setting in the service is that your pension company will invoice the pension payments directly from you every month. If you want that we pay the pension payments on your behalf to your pension company, please select the setting I will handle TyEL contributions myself off in the screen. Now the pension payments are included in the salary payment and will be paid to us. We will pay the contributions on your behalf.
You do not need an earnings-related pension agreement if you are an entrepreneur (you have a YEL agreement) and you do not have permanent employees, and salary payments are not continuous. In this case, the pensions are managed automatically as a temporary notification to Varma.
Please notice that you should not fill out the information of your YEL agreement here. This field is only for TyEL agreement.
If you have a TyEL agreement select your pension company from the selection. And fill out the agreement number to the named field. Then press Save.
Accident insurance
Occupational accident insurance is required by law if you pay employees a total of at least €1,300 a year. If you need an accident insurance you can order it directly from LähiTapiola in this field.
If you already have an insurance policy, fill out its information here by choosing the company and filling out the agreement number. Then press Save.
Incomes Register
Palkkaus.fi reports salary information to the Incomes Register for each salary payment automatically. In addition, Palkkaus.fi sends a required separate employer declaration to the Incomes Register every month automatically. Palkkaus.fi also sends separate notifications regarding calendar months in which the salary has not been paid if the employer is on the Tax Administration’s employer register automatically. If you use another payroll service or software in addition to the Palkkaus.fi service, you can cancel the sending of a separate declaration via the Palkkaus.fi service and submit the employer’s separate declaration to the Incomes Register yourself.
