If you have paid an employee a certain amount of money before the actual salary deadline, you’ll have to register this as a payment in advance. This payment will be deducted from the next coming salary.

Let’s say that you have paid 5000 Danish kroner manually, then this payment in advance will deduct 5000 Danish kroner from the net salary.

So when registering the payment in advance, the employee won’t be paid, you just tell Salary to deduct the amount from the next coming salary. You’ll have to manually pay the amount.

If you forgot to pay salary

Forskud hvis du har glemt at køre løn til en timelønnet

Forskud kan også bruges hvis du har glemt at køre løn i en måned. Så kan du istedet for at lave en manuel løn, registrere de ekstra timer i måneden efter og udbetale et forskud og registerere det i Salary. Så bliver lønnen indberettet i måneden efter, men medarbejderen har fået sine penge tidligere.
