Check ELM responses and transfer them to SwissSalary

The Show Result page shows the structured results that SwissSalary creates when you retrieve an ELM response—including AHV proofs of insurance and BVG contributions. Payroll specialists review the retrieved results after sending the declaration and apply them to SwissSalary with Transfer before the next dependent payroll or reporting step follows.

Prerequisites

  • An ELM declaration was sent and the result was retrieved.
  • The response contains importable AHV or BVG data.
  • The affected employees and insurance assignments exist in SwissSalary.

Check import lines (BVG)

  1. In the Salary Declarations, select the relevant Salary Declaration.
  2. Choose Show Result.
  3. Check the lines. Depending on the domain, you see Status, Employee No., Name, First Name, Social Security No., change type, and comments, among other fields.
  4. Use the Errors action to filter for lines with mapping issues. Typical causes are:
    • unknown employees;
    • missing or invalid social security numbers;
    • pension assignments without a matching BVG code.

Clean up import lines (BVG)

  1. For each employee, check the detail lines with the reported employee and employer contributions.
  2. Check Valid From, Employee Contribution, Employer Contribution, and Third-Party Contribution.
  3. If no contributions are available, this is shown in the No Contributions Available column.

Transfer to SwissSalary (BVG)

  1. On the Salary Declaration Import page, choose the Transfer action.
  2. The employee and employer contributions are transferred to the allocated salaries, and the previous contributions are delimited. During the transfer to the allocated salaries, the amounts are divided by 12.
  3. You can then check the new employee and employer contributions in the allocated salaries.
Wichtig

Clean up lines with status Error before you complete the transfer.

For an AHV response, you can use Print AHV Proof of Insurance to output the proof included in the response.

Good to know

  • If you run Transfer with status Error (unknown people, social security number, BVG code), you write incorrect data to employee and payroll records.
  • If you don't check the status and domain effects after the transfer, follow-up payroll runs and declarations continue with silent errors.
