Switch to Conta Lønn – Salary

Are you considering switching to a new payroll system? This section explains how you can switch over to Conta.

If your company is considering switching to Conta’s payroll system, the process is relatively straightforward. However, it’s helpful to understand what’s involved when switching payroll systems.

To begin, you’ll need to register as a user and add the company to «New company». Here, you can search for your company in the Brønnøysund registers. Following this, you must link the company to Altinn.

Once the company is linked to Altinn, you’ll need to add all employees. To do this, navigate to the menu and select EMPLOYEES, then choose ADD EMPLOYEE. From here, enter the required information as prompted by the system.

After adding the essential details about the employee, create a new position. You can do this by clicking CREATE under the position section within the employee profile. Provide information about the position and the employment terms. Additionally, remember to check the box indicating that it’s an existing employee and input the correct date of employment.

When transitioning between payroll programs, it’s crucial to transfer certain information from your previous system. Make sure to input details regarding the basis for last year’s holiday pay, any accrued salary, deducted taxes, taxable income, and the basis for holiday pay for the current year. You will find all the necessary fields under the «From before» section when adding a new position.

The timing of the switch in payroll programs will also be crucial. If the transition occurs on the first of January, employees will not have any taxable income yet. However, if the switch takes place in the middle of the year, employees will have already earned income that needs to be accounted for.

Once all of these steps are completed, you can proceed with the payroll processing from Conta.
