Handle open payroll, ELM, KLE, and employee tasks in the Role Center

The SwissSalary Role Center Modern Client brings together open payroll processing tasks in cues (tiles). Use the cues as a daily worklist—and before each payroll run and reporting step—to identify and complete open journals, runs, ELM results, and employee events.

Prerequisites

  • The SwissSalary Role Center Modern Client and SwissSalary Activities page are available.
  • The allocation group and permission filters match your area of responsibility. Otherwise, the cues count and open a different scope of data.

Cues overview

The SwissSalary Activities page is divided into three sections:

Employees

Cue Description Action when selected
Entering Number of employees entering employment. Opens the Employee List, filtered to employees entering employment.
Active Number of active employees. Opens the Employee List, filtered to active employees.
Leaving Number of employees leaving employment. Opens the Employee List, filtered to employees leaving employment.
Resigned Number of resigned employees. Opens the Employee List, filtered to employees who have already resigned.

Payroll

Cue Description Action when selected
Payroll Journal Number of open payroll journal lines. Opens Salary Journal Setup.
Open Number of payroll runs that aren't posted or locked. Opens Payroll Overview.
Unposted Number of locked payroll runs that aren't posted. Opens Payroll Overview.
Posted Number of posted payroll runs. Opens Payroll Overview.

Salary declaration (ELM)

Cue Description Action when selected
Processing Salary declarations that are currently being processed. Opens Salary Declaration.
Completion Missing Declarations that still need to be released. Opens Salary Declaration.
Result Missing Declarations for which a response is pending. Opens Salary Declaration.
Tipp

You can narrow the cues by Allocation Group, Department, and Date Filter to focus on a specific area of responsibility.

Daily worklist

Work through the cues systematically:

  1. Payroll Journal: Check and complete open journal lines before the next payroll run.
  2. Open payroll runs: Check calculated runs and release or cancel them.
  3. Unposted payroll runs: Post and pay released runs.
  4. ELM pending task: Resolve declarations with a missing result or completion.

Other Role Center elements

In addition to the cues, the Role Center provides:

  • SwissSalary Payroll Chart: A chart of salary trends.
  • SwissSalary Store News: Current news from the Store.
  • My employee: Your personal employee list.
  • SmartPort FactBox: Open SmartPort changes at a glance.
  • My Job Queue: Scheduled and running background tasks.

Good to know

  • If you read cue counts without filtering by Allocation Group or Department, you might process someone else's pending work or miss your own—runs and reports remain unfinished.
  • If you confuse Open and Unposted, you check instead of posting, or vice versa—payment and financial accounting are delayed.
  • If you treat Completion Missing and Result Missing the same, you might miss an ELM release or insurer response and risk missing deadlines.
  • If you consider selecting a cue to mean that the task is complete without processing the list, tasks remain open and delay the month-end close.
  • If you ignore SmartPort and job queue notifications, you might miss follow-up work in portals and automated jobs.
