To access Payroll reports and cost breakdown, follow these steps:
Log into the Remote People Platform.
Navigate to Pay>Billing>Report
Select the type of report: EOR Reports or Global Payroll Reports.
Open the toggle on each employee's name to view their full payroll breakdown.
For each employee, you can review their payroll items including the employer burden costs in the currency of local payroll.
You can also download a Billing Report, follow the steps in How to Export a Payroll Report
As an alternative to visiting the Remote People Platform, you may also review the payroll invoices directly. On page two (see screenshot below) you will find an Employee-level breakdown, including recurring and non-recurring income, expenses, employer contributions, financial charges, and regularization adjustments.
Recurring income refers to the fixed gross income employees receive monthly, including base salary and any contractual allowances. This amount is defined in the employee’s contract and is reflected in the invoice. Examples: gross salary, allowances, etc.
Non-recurring income may include proration for mid-month starters, adjustments for unpaid leave, and vacation bonuses, as well as variables, commissions, severance, etc.
Expenses
Employer contributions: social security, pension, payroll taxes, etc
Invoice Reconciliation and Adjustments
Recurring income adjustments ensure that invoiced amounts align with actual payments. Common scenarios include:
Reconciling differences due to proration or system constraints.
Adjustments for unpaid leave or vacation bonuses.
Standardizing payroll calculations.
Statutory Extras
Employers must consider statutory extras, which vary by country. For example:In Mexico:
Profit Sharing (PTU): 10% of taxable income shared with employees, paid after annual tax filing.
Vacation Bonus: At least 25% of the salary corresponding to vacation days.
Christmas Bonus (Aguinaldo): Equivalent to 15 days of salary.
In Colombia:
Cesantías (Unemployment Severance): Calculated on monthly gross income.
Pensions and EPS (Health Contributions): Based on fixed and variable pay, including allowances and bonuses.
What is the percentage for each item in the Employer Burden?
Our current Payroll Module does not provide a breakdown of each contribution by percentage for each cost item. The figures displayed are actuals that have been verified by local payroll teams and authenticated by the respective in-country tax and social security authorities.
The numbers in our payroll module, which compute your invoices, aren't derived from formulas within our system. However, statutory employer burden rates vary by country. For example, in Mexico, these include Social Security (IMSS) at 20–30% of salary, INFONAVIT (Housing Fund) at 5%, SAR (Retirement Savings) at 2%, and State Payroll Tax at 2–3%. These rates are determined by local regulations and are not displayed as percentages in the platform.
