Swipe is Salary’s solution for companies that want to offer employees greater flexibility in how and when they receive their salary.
Instead of waiting for the regular monthly payday, employees can – via the Salary employee app – request early payment of earned salary or worked hours.
Once a Swipe request is approved, the employee receives the amount within 2 banking days.
When Swipe is activated, as an employer you can adjust several settings to make handling easier:
Automatic approval of hours and payouts
Limits on the amount employees can request
A custom approval flow, so only larger requests require manual handling
This allows you to offer flexible salary disbursements without creating extra admin work.
How Swipe Works for the Employee
After the employee has registered hours on a non-approved payroll run, they can log into the employee app and request payout of the earned amount.
Important: Employees can only request payout of earned net salary – never more. This ensures that no amounts are paid out that could be considered taxable loans.
Setting Up Swipe
Before you begin, make sure you have an active Transfer Service agreement – otherwise, the Swipe setup button will not be visible.
Guide
Guide
1. Go to the Company → Transfers tab, and click on Swipe.
2. Enable Swipe.
3. Configure the following settings:
Enable auto approval: Swipe requests from employees will not require manual approval. You can set a maximum amount, so any Swipe above this limit still requires approval.
Employee Types: Select which types of employees are allowed to use Swipe (e.g., salaried, hourly, etc.). You can later adjust settings for specific employees. Learn how to do that here.
Enable auto approval of hours: Hourly workers can only use Swipe if their hours are approved. With this setting, all hours are approved automatically.
Enable employee fees: If you want employees to pay a fee for using Swipe, enable this setting.
Choose whether the fee is charged per payroll period or per Swipe
The fee can be defined as a fixed amount (in DKK) or as a percentage of the Swipe
The employee only sees the available amount after the fee is deducted
You can set a maximum fee, so it never exceeds a certain amount
Example: If the employee has DKK 1,000 in net pay and a fee of DKK 50, they can swipe DKK 950.
Time for Swipe notification: Choose the time of day when notifications about pending (non-approved) Swipes are sent. Go to Company → Payroll → Notifications to enable these notifications.
Ensure there is always a payroll for today's date: Enable this setting if you want to ensure that there's always an active payroll run – even in irregular periods.
This means a new payroll run will automatically begin when the previous period ends.
Note: This can result in two open payroll runs at the same time.
Click Save Changes to apply your settings.
Approving Swipe Requests
If you have not enabled automatic approval, all Swipe requests must be approved manually.
A Swipe will not be transferred until it has been approved. Once approved, the transfer is automatically initiated, and the amount will typically be available in the employee’s account within 2 banking days.
Example: If you approve a Swipe on Monday evening, the employee will usually receive the money by Wednesday morning.
To approve a Swipe Go to Registrations → Swipe. You’ll see an overview of all pending requests. Click Approve Now next to each request to approve the payout.

Can I Pay Out a Swipe If There Are Insufficient Funds in the Account?
Can I Pay Out a Swipe If There Are Insufficient Funds in the Account?
No, at this time, financing for Swipe payouts is not available through Salary.
This means you, as the employer, must ensure sufficient funds are available in the company’s account when a Swipe request is approved.
If there is not enough liquidity, the transfer will be rejected by the bank, and you will need to manually pay the amount to the employee.
If you’re unsure whether there’s enough liquidity to offer Swipe, you can:
Set the auto-approval limit to DKK 0
Only manually approve Swipes you know there’s coverage for
Note: This may result in a poor experience for employees, as they won’t have clarity on when their Swipe request will be approved or paid out.
