Hourly wages
In AGRO we wish to ensure the employees the correct salery on time. Therefore please follow the process described below.
At the latest the 2nd work day of the following month the employee must fill in his/her timesheet and submit it to the operation manager / section manager / proejct manager via email. One month per sheet and the template can be found at the intranet under forms. Excel calculates the actual time per day and month. If the employee has been working more days than is available on the sheet he/she must deliver two sheets for that month.
The manager notes the finance information. The form is then forwarded to hrbreve@agro.au.dk. By forwarding, the manager confirms that the hours are approved.
The secretariat controlls, that the hours are within the employment period and that the total number of hours don't exceed the number hours the employee is hired for. When this is done the hours are put into the salary system.
As a general rule the salary will be paid by the end of the month, where the sheet has been sent to AGRO secretariat, if it has been handed in in due time, otherwise it will be paid out the following month. Please be aware that there can be delays in connection with holidays.
