The payroll jpurnal entry is a general journal entry in which the amount of salaries and wages paid to the employees and which accruels are recorded for the contributions of premiums and social security are periodically justified.

Submit payroll journal entry
You can submit a payroll journal entry in three different ways in Yuki:
- Scan, upload or mail the 'paper' payroll journal entry
- Submit the payroll journal entry in an electronic format (usually in CSV format)
- Automatically by activating the Yuki link with Loket or Nmbrs®.
Scan, upload or mail the 'paper' payroll journal entry
The accountant or the payroll processing office usually sends a paper payroll journal entry and a payment list at the end of the month. This document can also be mailed directly to the email address of the administration in Yuki. Scans of paper payroll journal entries have to be processed manually by the back office and are therefore relatively time-consuming.
Submit the payroll journal entry in an electronic format
Yuki can also import (import general journal entry) payroll journal entries in electronic format (usually in CSV format). The payroll processing office will send you a small file by email, You have to upload that file into Yuki or forward it to the email address of the administration and the payroll journall entry will then be processed automatically. However, one condition is that the file must have a specific structure so Yuki can recognise it as a general journal entries file.
You can find a layout of the import of a journal entry (Excel) (NL) attached at the bottom of the article.
In the file the GL accounts of Yuki must be used. The following GL accounts are available:
- 40000 Lonen en salarissen (Wages and salaries)
- 40050 Bonussen en winstdeling (Bonuses and profit sharing)
- 40075 Bijdrage spaarloon (Contribution save-as-you-earn scheme)
