What if my employee didn't work during a whole month?

If an employee didn't work at all during a specific month, their contract on Salary.lu needs to be terminated and ended on the last working month. An updated exit declaration must be sent to the CCSS with the end date of the last working month. Any unused leave or bonuses must be added to the last effective working month.

How to handle a non-working month

When an employee doesn't work during an entire month, follow these steps:

Terminate the contract at the last working month

Set the contract end date to the last day the employee actually worked
Do not extend the contract to cover non-working periods

Update the CCSS declaration

Send an updated exit declaration to the CCSS
Use the last working month as the end date

Process final payments

Calculate any unused leave days
Include any pending bonuses or compensations
Add all final payments to the last working month's payslip

The Salary.lu platform cannot create payslips with 0 € and this shouldn't be done unless the employee is on maternity leave or being paid by the CNS (Caisse Nationale de Santé). You cannot maintain an active contract for months where no work was performed.
