Auto Compliance

Our payroll software for Denmark supports employer reporting and withholding workflows, including eIncome reporting, A-tax handling, labour market contribution processing, and year-end payroll support data.

Salary Calculation

The software efficiently calculates wages for both hourly and salaried employees, handling salary adjustments, holiday pay, pensions, bonuses, and other compensation forms automatically.

Integration

Mercans Payroll Software integrates seamlessly with relevant systems, such as HR and financial systems, facilitating smooth data exchange between various departments within the company. It also connects with a broad range of accounting systems.

Bank Transfers

Mercans facilitates direct transfers to banking systems, reducing the need for duplicate data entry. Required payment information, such as account numbers, IBANs, SWIFT codes, and recipient names, can be transferred automatically.

Salary Module

The Salary Module encompasses core routines for wage calculation. Daily routines include maintaining financial accounts, accounting, and generating various reports. Monthly tasks can include electronic reporting to eIncome, pension-related processing, holiday pay administration, and money transfers to banking systems. Mercans uses an automated salary calculation engine, which relies on salary templates for each agreement to support accurate calculations.

International Salary Routines

Mercans offers a comprehensive suite of international payroll modules and interfaces within its flexible payroll system. It can standardize payroll calculations for many agreement types and supports a wide range of electronic transfer routines for reporting to authorities and institutions. Key functionalities include:

Reporting pay information to Danish Tax Agency eIncome.
Supporting payment file generation for Danish banking workflows.
Supporting pension-related reporting and transfer workflows where applicable.
Supporting holiday pay, tax, and ATP-related payroll administration.

Denmark Tax

Mercans Payroll Software for Denmark manages employee tax withholding in line with employer obligations to report pay information to eIncome and withhold A-tax and labour market contributions. The calculation of withholding tax is based on the employee’s tax information and taxable income for the pay period.

Primary tax card
Secondary tax card
Tax exemption card
No tax card

Our software can also handle taxation for specific pay components such as bonuses and benefits in kind. It supports withholding tax calculations across employee assignments and maintains payroll records needed for ongoing statutory reporting.

Electronic Payments and Withholding Tax

Mercans Payroll Software supports processing employee payments electronically through the employer’s bank. The software generates payment files in the formats required for the selected banking workflow to facilitate electronic fund transfers from the employer’s account to employee accounts.

Uploading the Tax Card

Mercans Payroll Software allows payroll teams to request and upload employee tax information used for payroll withholding. Tax information can then be maintained in the application to support current payroll calculations when employee tax details change.

Withholding Tax Management

The software enables you to request and upload employee tax information from the tax administration. It extracts withholding details for each employee assignment from the provided tax information.

Electronic Holiday Card Data

The software also processes and reports holiday information, including accruals, entitlements, and payments. In Denmark, holiday allowance is generally accrued at 12.5% of salary and corresponds to 2.08 days of holiday for each month of employment. Mercans supports holiday pay administration, including reporting and payment workflows connected with FerieKonto and Feriepengeinfo where applicable.

Payroll Processing and Analysis

Mercans Payroll Software allows you to run payrolls and perform post-processing on completed payrolls. You can also make adjustments and corrections to payrolls that were not completed successfully.

In Denmark, payroll software utilizes the following concepts to streamline payroll procedures:

Assignment Sets

Use assignment sets when you need to process specific payroll elements separately. Examples include:

Processing night shifts earlier so employees receive their pay advices before others.
Running correction payrolls for entries that missed the regular run, such as overtime payments.
Conducting additional payroll runs for special awards, such as long service awards, for qualifying employees.

Consolidation Sets

A consolidation set groups multiple payrolls to simplify post-run processing and reporting. It allows you to generate a unified set of reports, costing results, and other outputs for all payrolls within the set. Ensure you assign a consolidation set name to each payroll.

Element and Distribution Sets

During a normal payroll run, all elements are typically included. For specific cases like special awards, only relevant elements are processed. Calculate gross pay first to determine the amount for transfer into the payroll account, then complete the gross-to-net calculation.

Final Settlement

The software supports processing payrolls for individual employees, including those who are leaving and need immediate payment.

RetroPay Processing

Run the RetroPay process to incorporate backdated payments or deductions into the current payroll. This adjustment is necessary when:

An employee’s pay award is backdated to a previous period.
The payroll department makes retrospective corrections for errors from earlier pay periods.

Payroll Dashboard

The Payroll Dashboard provides administrators with a centralized view to monitor various payroll-related processes. It leverages existing payroll functionality to aggregate process data and includes Payroll Readiness, which checks prerequisite conditions required for payroll processing as configured by the administrator. From this dashboard, administrators can initiate, retry, or rollback payroll processes.

The Payroll Dashboard offers clear, easily interpretable statistics for quick reference, allowing users to view the status of ongoing payrolls and calculation-related information throughout the pay cycle. This feature reduces the need to run and review multiple processes, enabling users to concentrate on critical areas, take appropriate actions, and identify exceptions during payroll processing.

The dashboard consolidates different components of payroll management onto a single page, helping payroll managers or administrators monitor progress effectively. It facilitates easy and efficient payroll reconciliation, ensuring that the process is handled appropriately by the relevant personnel.

Access to the Payroll Dashboard is available to Payroll Professionals and Payroll Administrators. Payroll Professionals can:

1)

Use the Payroll Dashboard and Configuration functions

2)

Configure processes within the Payroll Dashboard

When a Payroll Professional accesses the dashboard, the Payroll Readiness and Process Monitor tabs are readily available.

Setting Up Electronic File Transfer (EFT)

Denmark payroll software facilitates the submission of employee and payment details to banks via payroll payment files.

Running the EFT Process

The Denmark payroll system includes routines for executing the Electronic File Transfer process and generating outbound banking files used in payroll disbursement workflows.

In Denmark, pension contributions can be subject to specific tax and agreement-based rules. These contributions are often configured within payroll deduction structures in Mercans Payroll Software. The software supports the calculation of various pension contributions:

Wage Earners Supplementary Pension Foundation (ATP)

Both employees and employers may need to contribute to ATP depending on the employment setup. Contribution handling is linked to work hours and payroll frequency, such as monthly, bi-weekly, weekly, or hourly arrangements.

Labor Market Pension (Collective Agreements)

This type of pension is common in Denmark and is often governed by collective agreements. Contribution rules can vary by agreement, employer policy, and employee category.

Capital Pension

Contributions to pension products arranged with banks or insurance companies can be configured in payroll according to current tax treatment and applicable contribution rules. Where legal maximums apply, payroll rules can be maintained accordingly.

Non-Monetary Benefits and G-Dage Pay in Denmark

In Denmark, non-monetary benefits form part of the total remuneration and can be classified as either taxable or non-taxable depending on the benefit type and current tax treatment.

Benefits in Kind

Taxable benefits in kind are treated as taxable remuneration even when they are not paid as cash salary. Depending on the benefit type, the value may increase income subject to labour market contribution and taxable income. Non-taxable benefits in kind can still be displayed on the payslip for transparency.

G-Dage Pay

Under Danish labour market rules and certain collective agreements, G-Dage pay can apply in relevant interruption or layoff situations. Mercans supports the administration of this type of payroll event according to configured rules.

Proration

The payroll platform in Denmark supports proration calculations to adjust earnings proportionately when payroll-relevant data changes during a payroll period. This includes scenarios such as an employee joining or leaving the company or changes in pay grade during a payroll cycle. Proration ensures accurate calculation of earnings reflecting these changes.

Vehicle Repository

The vehicle repository allows you to store details about company and private vehicles used for business purposes. This data is date-tracked, enabling you to record changes over time, such as the vehicle’s status active or inactive.

Vehicle Allocation

You can allocate vehicles to employees for use in mileage claims or benefit-in-kind processing. The system supports the allocation of both company and private vehicles, facilitating accurate tracking and management of vehicle-related benefits.

In addition to pension contributions, Mercans Payroll Software handles several statutory and involuntary deductions configured under payroll deduction classifications. The software supports the calculation of:

Labor Market Contribution (AMB)

Employees generally pay labour market contribution on relevant earnings. This deduction is calculated before tax and reduces taxable income used in payroll withholding and year-end payroll reporting.

Court Orders

Court orders, typically for unpaid debts or fines, can also be managed by the software. It supports controlled deduction handling and allows payroll teams to maintain the relevant entries until the obligation has been satisfied.

Our payroll software offers an efficient solution for managing various absence types within your enterprise. You can categorize absences into distinct types and categories for better reporting and analysis. An absence category groups related absence types together.

Holiday Pay

The payroll system allows you to record different types of holiday absences and manage holiday pay and public holiday pay. In Denmark, employees generally accrue holiday allowance at 12.5% of salary and 2.08 days of holiday per month of employment. Mercans supports holiday pay processing, reporting, and payment workflows, including those involving FerieKonto and Feriepengeinfo where applicable.

Setting Up Sick Pay

Mercans payroll software enables you to manage sick pay in compliance with statutory requirements and company rules. The sick pay processing functionality allows you to record details about the absence, the work incident causing it, and related payroll benefits.

Sickness Pay Reports: Generate and maintain reports needed for payroll administration and statutory processes.

Maternity Absence

Use the Absence window to record maternity leave for employees. You can enter additional details necessary for payroll processing and support employer reimbursement workflows where applicable.

Adoption Absence

Mercans ensures compliance by automating A-tax withholding, AM-bidrag deductions, ATP pension contributions, and direct submissions to eIndkomst. The platform is continuously updated with Danish tax and labor law changes.

Can payroll SaaS integrate with common HR, ERP, or time-tracking systems (e.g., Visma Løn, Zenegy, Danløn)?

Yes. Mercans’ SaaS integrates seamlessly with HR, ERP, and time-tracking solutions such as Visma Løn, Zenegy, and Danløn, enabling smooth data flow between HR, finance, and payroll systems.
