Who fills out the payroll form?

The payroll statement is the primary accounting document, so its preparation is the responsibility of a specialist in the accounting department. The basis for drawing up the statement is employees, which is usually maintained by the personnel officer or secretary of the organization. The document is of a regular nature and is issued once a month (before the payment of wages).

Procedure for preparing payroll statements

Before issuing wages, the responsible employee of the enterprise checks the time sheet, which is then transferred to the accounting department. Next, the accountant enters the necessary data on the title page and in the table, signs the statement himself and sends it to the head of the company for approval, then passes it to the cashier.

The payroll statement is stored in the archive, like all documents of the enterprise.

After the money is issued, the statement is returned back to the accounting department, where, after the chief accountant checks the information entered into it, information about it is entered into a special internal journal of documents, and the statement itself is sent to the archive of the enterprise.

When is Payroll Used?

The statement form is filled out in cases where wages are transferred through the cash desk of the enterprise by issuing cash to employees.

In cases of transfers to bank accounts and employee cards, other documents are used.

Rules for compiling and processing payroll statements

Today, the statement can be drawn up in free form or according to a template developed within the enterprise (in this case, the document must be registered in the company’s accounting policies). Many enterprises, in the old fashioned way, prefer to use the previously mandatory T-49 form. This is due to the fact that this form includes all the necessary information and has a convenient and understandable structure.

You can fill out the document either in handwritten or printed form (the second option significantly speeds up the process), and regardless of which path is chosen, the form must contain the original signatures:

  • responsible employees,
  • head of the company,
  • as well as the employees of the enterprise who received money from it.

What to do if there are errors in the document

You should be extremely careful and scrupulous in filling out this document, checking and double-checking all the information entered into it. You should try to avoid inaccuracies and errors, but if they do happen, and for some reason it is no longer possible to redo the entire document, you need to carefully cross out the incorrect data and write the correct data on top. In this case, next to the correction you should write “believe the corrected”, and next to it should put the signatures of all the employees responsible for compiling the statement.

It is important to note that using a bar corrector to correct errors is unacceptable.

An example of preparing a payroll statement

The first part of the document includes basic information about the organization:

  • Its name,
  • name of the structural unit or department for which salaries are calculated (if any),
  • company code according to (All-Russian Classifier of Enterprises and Organizations),
  • date of filling out the statement and document number for internal document flow.
  • the amount of money issued from the cash register in the form of wages,
  • date of issue,
  • the period for which it is issued (here you need to indicate its start and end date).

Finally, this part of the document must be signed by the top persons of the company: the manager (or an employee authorized to act on his behalf), as well as the chief accountant.

Below is the main part of the document, which is formatted as a table.

At first column, the employee number is entered in order,
in the second– his (located in the personal card),
in third- position (in accordance with the staffing table).
In the fourth indicates the method by which the employee works (or).
From fifth to seventh- the number of days he worked (strictly based on the data reflected in the time sheet).

If necessary, in the table you need to note the number of weekends and holidays on which the person also went to work (for which double wages are paid) or put dashes here.

The following columns are devoted directly to the calculated amount of wages.
Eighth The column records how much is accrued to the employee in accordance with the tariff rate. Ninth the amount of the bonus is indicated (but only if there is a special order or order from the director of the company).
To the tenth data on sick leave payments is entered in the column,
from 11 to 13– all other amounts. If some types of accruals are missing, dashes must be placed in the required cells.
In the fourteenth The column should indicate the total amount charged.

Next to the table on the fifteenth you need to enter information about the income tax that is withheld from the employee (in the amount of 13% of the total amount of income),
into columns from 16 to 18– all other types of deductions (advances, penalties, etc.).
Add to column at number 19 the debt (if any) attributed to the enterprise in relation to the employee is entered,
A at 21 The final amount to be issued is entered in the column. Its value is calculated simply: from the sum of all charges (column 14), the amount of deduction (column 15-18) is subtracted and the amount of debt is added (column 19).

Finally, the employee for whom the information was entered must sign opposite each line.

After the table of the document is completely filled out, the entire amount of money that is issued to employees in the form of wages is indicated below in words. Then the statement is signed by the cashier and the accountant of the enterprise.

The calculation of wages to employees can be reflected both in a document that is also intended to record the payment of wages, and in a separate document - a payslip. We will tell you about the features of using and filling out the pay slip (form No. T-51).

Payroll: what is it used for?

The payroll is used to calculate wages for the organization's employees (including advance payments - wages for the first half of the month).

An organization can use both an independently developed payroll form and form No. T-51, approved by Decree of the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation dated January 5, 2004 No. 1. Let us describe some of the features of compiling a payroll using the example of form No. T-51.

Payroll (form No. T-51): features of preparation

If an organization uses a payroll (for example, according to form No. T-49), a separate payroll is no longer compiled.

The payroll is filled out for all employees, regardless of how they receive their wages (in cash or by transfer to bank cards).

Payroll T-51 is compiled by the accounting department in one copy.

The calculation of wages in the payroll is carried out on the basis of data from primary documents recording production, hours actually worked and other documents.

In the “Accrued” columns, amounts are entered by type of payment from the wage fund, as well as other income in the form of various social and material benefits.

At the same time, all deductions from the salary amount are calculated and the amount to be paid to the employee is determined.

In pay slips compiled on a computer, the composition of the details and their location are determined depending on the adopted information processing technology. In this case, the document form must contain all the details of the unified form.

Payroll T-51: download form

You can find the pay slip (form No. T-51) by referring to the Resolution of the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation dated 01/05/2004 No. 1, or by code T-51 in the reference and legal system “ConsultantPlus”.

There are standardized forms of documents that are prescribed to be used when making cash payments. These include the payroll for the payment of salaries, approved by the State Statistics Committee back in 2004, but still in force. The T-53 form code and its sample are in the albums of unified salary forms.

The salary slip can be made on different forms. Usually, those that are most convenient and easy to fill out are chosen. Despite the large number of standard forms, many experienced accountants still prefer this solution, since the payroll form T 53 allows you to record payments to a large number of employees at once. This functionality significantly reduces the number of papers and the time to fill them out.

Correction in payroll

Of course, it is best not to correct anything in accounting documents; firstly, from an aesthetic point of view, it looks ugly, and secondly, corrections entail certain difficulties.

However, the human factor does not always play into the hands, especially since such typos are often not made intentionally, so you should do this:

  1. Carefully cross out one fragment to be corrected with a straight line.
  2. Write the correct option next to or above.
  3. All persons who signed the statement before the correction must repeat this procedure to certify the new inscription.
  4. Insert a date for correction.

Closing of the payroll occurs within the period indicated on the title page. However, not all workers can receive wages by that time. In this case, the accountant needs to do the following:

  1. Near the employee's name, who has not received wages, the inscription “Deposited” is placed.
  2. Below from the tabular part of the statement, the total amount issued and the total deposited are calculated and indicated.
  3. Cashier/accountant or the manager confirms the statement with his signature.
  4. Next, an expense order is issued, where the amount issued is indicated. The order number is entered in the corresponding column of the statement.
  5. Next, the statement is sent to the accounting archive for storage.

It is worth considering that the payroll is subject to tax audit, therefore, both when filling out and when closing, you should pay special attention to this document.

Storage and accounting

As you know, many accounting documents are stored in the company’s archives for a long time. Thus, the payroll is retained for 5 years, if a reporting audit is carried out during this period. Otherwise, the document is preserved for 75 years.

Accounting for wage payments is carried out on the basis of Form B-8. The payroll takes into account various increases, bonuses, deductions, as well as other payments provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

There is also an important point to consider. If, after 3 days from the date of payment, the employee does not receive a salary, then the data is entered in the deposit column and transferred to the next month’s statement.

It should also be noted that in recent years, the accounting software that has appeared has been significantly modernized. And in the context of this topic. Namely, all accrual processes occur automatically.

Responsible persons

The responsible persons for the payroll are the chief accountant and the owner of the company. That is, the accountant is responsible for all additional payments, as well as deductions from wages. Moreover, if the document does not bear the signature of the chief accountant, the documents are invalid.

The cashier, if one is on the company’s staff, is responsible for receiving, storing, as well as issuing and accounting for funds. If there is no cashier at the enterprise, his duties are performed by an accountant.

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, withholding wages for more than the period specified in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation threatens with criminal, material or administrative liability. Therefore, if the accountant is absent from the workplace due to illness or vacation on the day the salary is issued, the manager is obliged to appoint a deputy accountant.

Payment of wages according to the statement

As a rule, employees receive wages twice a month. And most often it is the 15th and 30th of each month. Since financial procedures are always very responsible, the company allocates a special place for issuing POs. This is either a cash register or the offices of an accountant or manager.

When receiving funds, a company employee must recalculate the amount and sign that he has received the appropriate amount, which will mean that he agrees with the amount received and has no complaints.

The payroll is prepared by the cashier, accountant or manager. If an employee was unable to receive a salary due to illness, business trip, or other reasons, then “Deposited” is written opposite his last name directly on the statement.

After the payment of wages to employees is completed, the responsible person draws up an expense order. The account number is recorded in the statement.

Paying salaries using bank cards

In accordance with the resolution of the State Statistics Committee, if a company pays wages by bank transfer, that is, on a card, then only a payslip under number T-51 is drawn up in electronic form. In this case, it must indicate all the necessary details:

  1. Employee's full name.
  2. Job title.
  3. Tariff rate.
  4. Personnel Number.
