What is it, and why do you need it?
What is Zenoheld Payroll for?
When payroll is calculated in a separate program, timesheets are keyed in by hand and bonuses and advances are collected from separate spreadsheets; errors surface at month end or when an employee objects.
Zenoheld Payroll reads timesheets, advances, additional payments and benefits from their source. The minimum wage and parameters are updated in one place; retroactive payroll calculates backdated changes and the cost allocation lands in accounting.
Scope: Runs payroll work such as salary calculation, social security (SGK), tax and benefits.

Sub-modules
Zenoheld Payroll: 4 sub-modules
This list is generated from the product itself; it grows as new functions are added to a sub-module. Master data and settings are the shared ground of every module and are not counted as sub-modules.
Payroll Processing
- Payroll Run ConsoleRuns, checks and finalizes the period payroll step by step. The net salary bank instruction (EFT file) of the approved run is part of the same screen. The run's anomaly check (deviations from the previous period) is part of the same screen.
- Payslip ListLists the calculated employee payrolls and shows the earnings/deductions detail.
- Retro PayrollCalculates the difference for past periods for a retroactive raise or a missing line item and writes it to a single supplementary payroll.
- Salary & Severance CalculatorSimulates gross-to-net and employer cost scenarios on salary; the calculation of severance and notice pay payable upon termination is part of the same screen.
- Severance & Leave ProvisionsAccrues the severance pay provision (IAS 19) period by period (Dr 770.03 / Cr 472+372) and offsets the accumulated provision when an employee leaves. The short-term provision for unused annual leave balance (IAS 19 · Dr 770.05 / Cr 373) is part of the same screen.
- Beneficiary PaymentsPays the severance pay of a deceased employee to the legal heirs in shares (Labor Law 1475/14); payment stays blocked until the certificate of inheritance and IBAN are completed.
- Third-Party PayrollAssigns employees whose payroll runs in another system (foreign subsidiary · payroll bureau) to a provider; sends master data changed since the last submission and period inputs (approved additional payments · overtime · absent days) as a package by file or API, checks and approves the returned payroll results, and transfers the pay codes to External System Posting as movements.
Compensation & Bonus
- Compensation PlanningManages compensation planning cycles (budget, period, approval status); collects managers' salary increase proposals within these cycles and applies them with HR approval.
- Pay Scales & Collective AgreementsHolds the group × level pay table (scale) and employees' level assignments; the raise steps of a collective agreement (percentage, amount, inflation + points) write a new validity row to the scale and update employees' gross salaries according to the chosen mode.
- Equity CompensationTracks stock option, RSU and phantom share grants to employees with the plan, vesting schedule and valuation; vests tranches as they fall due, transfers the gain to payroll as an additional payment (share delivery is in kind and offset from net pay) and posts the IFRS 2 expense to accounting period by period.
- Compensation AnalyticsAnalyzes compa-ratio, pay equity, total rewards and bonus distribution (writes no records).
- Variable Pay & Bonus ProgramsManages the hierarchy of variable pay program → bonus plan → individual distribution; approved payments land in the “Payroll Additional Payments” ledger.
- Employee Advance RequestsOpens employee advance requests and runs the approval → payment → repayment flow; the payment writes a journal entry and a cash transaction.
- Payroll Additional PaymentsA single ledger of all additional earnings such as incentive pay, lump-sum bonuses, bonuses, meal/transport/child allowances; approved ones enter the period payroll automatically. Sales commissions and bonus plan payments also land here.
- Payroll Cost AllocationSplits an employee's payroll cost across cost centers by percentage; works by date range and by line item.
Benefits
- Flexible Benefits PlanDefines the flexible benefits plan: catalog items and their point costs, showcase categories (such as Health, Transportation, Meals) and each employee's annual point budget; the package/assignment side is on the “Benefit Packages & Assignment” screen.
- Benefit Packages & AssignmentDefines benefit packages and assigns them to employees — the flexible benefit items that employees select with points are on the “Flexible Benefits Catalog” screen. The bulk upload of the period's approved meal supplements to the provider (Sodexo/Multinet, etc.) is also here.
Legal & Declarations
- Union MembershipsManages union memberships and dues rates; dues are deducted automatically in every payroll period.
- Withholding & Social Security Premium Return (MUHSGK)Prepares and downloads wage withholding tax (GV/DV: income/stamp tax, 1003B) and the Social Security (SGK) monthly premium and service + hire/termination notices as a single MUHSGK return.
- Auto-Enrolment Pension (BES)Manages mandatory private pension enrollment of employees under 45; processes the right to opt out within 2 months. The transfer of deductions to the portfolio management company (PSM) is part of the same screen.
- GarnishmentTracks and applies enforcement (garnishment) deductions on employee salaries.
Settings master data and settings
- Minimum Wage & Payroll ParametersLegal basis of payroll: half-year minimum wage periods (January–June · July–December, with gross amount — the garnishment protection floor for salaries is read from here) and next year's payroll parameters (minimum wage, Social Security (SGK) floor/ceiling, income tax brackets; step by step with a wizard). A mid-year minimum wage increase is entered as a period.
- Social Security Incentive DefinitionsDefines Social Security (SGK) employer premium incentives with their effective dates; the payroll reduction is applied from here.
