πŸ“† Here is what payroll schedule to anticipate

Employees are paid on the last working day of the month. You should receive your salary before the end of the work day by 5.00 p.m.​

πŸ’Έ Here's where to go for payslips

Your payslips will be sent to you by email on or around payday.

πŸ€‘ Here's where to go for expenses

Please submit your receipts to the β€œExpenses” section of your OmniPlatform profile. Any expenses approved by your manager by the 15th of the month will be paid out on the last working day of that month’s payroll. ​

🌴 Here's what to do for holiday/vacation

Use your internal HR systems for annual leave requests (Please speak to your Line Manager for assistance). Once the holiday/vacation time is approved, you must register your time off in the β€œTime Off” tab of your OmniPlatform profile for payroll purposes.​

🌍 Wondering about your public holidays?

You should always follow the public holidays of the country you're employed in, so please take those days off and rest! Please ensure you always give a heads-up to your line manager in case they're located in a different country.​

πŸ’² Your wage tax withholding

Foreign employers are not allowed to withhold employee tax in Germany. You will need to declare yourself as employed by a foreign employer and the authorities will communicate to you how much you will need to pay. You will find detailed information in a document in your profile documents section.

⏰ Submitting Timesheets

To comply with the current legal employment regulations in your country of work, employees are required to complete monthly timesheets. Your Line Manager will provide more instructions on how to submit these.

πŸ’» Wondering about your hardware or equipment?

Omnipresent does not provide hardware, so please feel free to reach out to your Line Manager in regards to all equipment needs.​
