Goal and impact
The algorithm in the Pardon Salary software tool is used to make (trial) calculations of employees' net salary. The purpose of this algorithm is to provide insight into the financial consequences of changes in the employment contract, such as parental leave, reduction of contract hours or an adjustment in salary scale. This allows employees to make well-informed choices about their employment situation.
The calculation is not done automatically, but always at the request of an employee or manager, and by a payroll employee. This ensures control and accuracy in the use of the algorithm.
The impact of the algorithm is that it gives employees insight into what they will earn 'below the line' in case of contract changes. This prevents surprises and contributes to transparency, predictability and trust in the process around terms of employment. In addition, the algorithm makes it possible to quickly anticipate changes in laws and regulations, as the software is constantly adapted to the most up-to-date collective labour agreements. As a result, the system's output is reliable and up-to-date.
Considerations
The algorithm in Pardon Salary is used for reliable and up-to-date net pay calculations in case of contract changes. It supports employees and managers in making well-informed choices. The calculations are always checked by a payroll employee. As no automatic decision-making takes place and the algorithm only calculates on the basis of collective agreements, ethical risks are minimal. However, it is clearly stated that no rights can be derived from the results.
Human intervention
The results of the calculation are checked by a payroll employee.
Risk management
A payroll clerk checks the accuracy of the data entered, preventing errors and incorrect assumptions. This ensures the reliability of the results. The calculations clearly state that no rights can be derived from them.
Operations
Data
The calculation requires details of the employee's current salary, such as salary scale and periodic table, as well as the date of birth in connection with the retirement date, and the name, so that it is clear for whom the calculation is made.
Technical design
Pardon Salary works with an algorithm that includes all salary components according to the municipal collective agreement. It processes input data such as salary, contract hours and leave to produce accurate net pay calculations. The software is continuously updated to incorporate changes in collective agreements and legislation in a timely manner, always allowing for an up-to-date and reliable calculation.
