Payroll and social insurance
Payroll is the one part of accounting with a statutory deadline every month and several dozen people waiting on the result every month.
What you receive
Monthly payroll calculation
Base pay, overtime, shift allowances, benefits and deductions under the Labour Law and the annual circular.
Insurance and payroll tax filings
Preparing and submitting the monthly social security schedule and payroll tax list within the statutory window.
Payslips
Issuing employee payslips and a consolidated report for management.
End-of-service settlement
Calculating severance, unused leave, new-year bonus and end-of-service benefits with documentation you can produce.
Social security inspection support
Preparing the documents an inspector requests and pursuing objections to contribution demand notices.
Two recurring mistakes
First, paying part of the salary outside the payslip. It lowers the contribution now but comes back at inspection as arrears plus penalty, and it damages the employee's service record too.
Second, a contractor agreement for someone who is in practice an employee. An employment relationship is determined by the nature of the work, not the title on the contract, and dispute tribunals generally find for the employee.
The annual circular
Minimum wage, seniority pay, housing allowance and the worker food allowance change every year, and the payroll tax exemption is set in the budget act. We run the Farvardin calculation on the new year's figures and report the effect of the changes to you before payment.
Common questions
What headcount do you support?
From five people to several hundred. Above a hundred we run the work on dedicated payroll software.
Does employee salary data stay confidential?
Yes. Access to payroll data is limited to the specialist handling your file, and the contract carries an enforceable confidentiality clause.
We have received a contribution demand notice. Can you help?
Yes. The objection window is thirty days from service. We review the file and pursue the objection at the contribution assessment boards.
