Payroll Check Tool: automatic checks of payroll administrations in Nmbrs

A mistake in a payroll administration is easily made and often only surfaces at the year-end transition or when an employee asks a question. Checking by hand means going through the same lists every period for every administration: contracts, hours, personal details, wage tax settings, wage codes. The request was to automate those checks as a plugin on Nmbrs, so a firm can see at any moment where things go wrong and December and January are no longer dominated by searching.

The checking logic: 100 control points that test the set-up and use of the payroll administration, including WAB checks on contracts, contract hours, personal details, LIV borderline cases and LKV end dates, missing fields in the wage tax settings, employee insurance schemes, a new income relationship (IKV) number at retirement age, deviating special rate (BT) percentages, unusual input values for deductions, differences in the payroll journals and unlinked wage codes.

The integration with the Nmbrs API that retrieves the data of a whole administration or part of it, and the reporting that shows per check which employee or setting deviates and what was expected.

A set-up in which checks are recorded as separate, tested rules, so that new control points can be added and the tool can later be extended to other payroll packages.
