Non-employee personnel costs

Non-employees personnel costs tab is used to introduce remuneration for employees who are not employed on a contract of employment. In Poland such contracts include self-employment contracts and contracts that do not bear the characteristics of contract of employment.

In the case of hiring such non-employees, for example temporary workers, the cost of their work – as in the case of employees – should be derived directly from the hours worked on the project. From the perspective of project’s financial settlements, therefore, non-employees are subject to the same rules as employees except that their remuneration does not come from the payroll and from the accounts issued under the contract of employment.

Particular attention should be paid to the distinction between an outsourced work order and a one-person business activity (which is treated as subcontracting and listed as an external assistance category in Invoices module).

Non-employee must be previously registered in eLMA in Employees and Users tabs, assigned appropriate access rights and obliged to regularly fill in the time sheets in the system as yhis is the basis for payment of wages.

After the period of the order, the eligible non-employee personnel costs are the product of the hourly/daily rate resulting from the contract and the number of hours recorded in the time sheet for that period. The total cost of an order’s contract bill may be higher, however, the system calculates the eligible costs in accordance with the above equation.
