In addition to keeping the salary administration, there are contracts, insurance, pension and working conditions you need to arrange. You have to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for your staff and you\u2019re also obliged to continue paying when an employee is ill. Be aware of all these extra tasks and get all the required information from the experts if you want to be sure about things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drafting a contract<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve found the perfect employee, it\u2019s time to draw up the employment contract.

In addition to the gross salary, you also owe employer\u2019s contributions. The amount depends on your industry of work, but take into account about 25 to 30%. Payroll tax is deducted from your employee\u2019s gross salary.

As an employer, you are allowed to spend a certain percentage of the taxable wages of all your employees on allowances every year. You do not have to pay wage tax on these reimbursements. The percentage of the WKR (Work Cost Scheme) in 2024 is 1,92% up to \u20ac40.000, and above that, it\u2019s 1,18%.<\/p>\n<p>All reimbursements that are not directly related to the activities of an employee can be included in the discretionary margin. Like for instance the costs for a Christmas gift, staff outing or bicycle plan. Necessary costs, like travel costs or a meal during overtime, are not at the expense of the discretionary margin. Do the work related costs exceed the discretionary margin? Then you pay 80% tax on these costs. This amount is directly deductible and reduces the profit. So, that 80% percentage is less harmful than it initially seems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"text-block block columns-1\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12 offset-lg-1 col-lg-10 offset-xl-2 col-xl-8\">\n<div class=\"text-block__text-wrapper rich-text d-block\">\n<p><strong>Keeping payroll records<br \/><\/strong>From the moment you hire the first employee, you are obliged to keep a salary administration.

In addition, you need to include certain information in the wage statement about, for example, the contract, the employee and the application of the payroll tax credit.<\/p>\n<p>So there is a lot involved in keeping this administration.
