How to stop a recurring compensation

Hello @ExpatMortgages,
Thank You for reaching out!

I am happy to help you with this enquiry.

If I use the the red cross to delete it, it will not be visible anymore that the compensation has been applicable for a period of time, is that correct?

That is correct! Clicking on the red cross makes retroactive changes, so the whole record for the recurring compensation will be removed even for the past months.

To end the regular payment of recurring compensation in Personio from a specific point in time onwards, go to the overview as shown in your screenshot and set the payment amount to zero from the required date (e.g. 5. June).

if I do that, the recurring compensation will still appear on the payroll, but at the amount of 0 euros.

Do you mean the Preliminary Payroll?

If the amount is set to 0, it actually shouldn’t appear on the Preliminary Payroll at all for the respective month.
If this is the case, please let me know, so we can have a look at it together.
 

Or do you mean the Salary Tab? 

In that case, any type of Recurring Compensation that was made for that employee in the current year will be displayed. The purpose of this overview is to show you all the monthly compensations at a glance.

Have a look at my example:

The compensation type Stagevergoeding has been active for some months in 2021, so it will be shown as a column, even if some entries are €0.

Since it has been inactivated from 05 June 2021, it is not visible anymore in the overview of 2022.

I hope this helps!

Looking forward to your reply!

Best,
