SBM · Payroll preparation & DATEV

Preparing payroll in temporary staffing – checked and handed over to DATEV or Addison.

SBM does not produce the payroll itself. SBM prepares everything your payroll program needs – hours, supplements, Equal Pay, industry supplements (Branchenzuschläge), holiday, sickness, working time account and advances – and hands it over, checked, to DATEV or Addison.

What SBM prepares

Everything for payroll – in one place.

In temporary staffing, pay depends on the assignment, the collective agreement and the client. SBM collects these values where they arise and turns them into the monthly values for your payroll office or your tax adviser (Steuerberater).

Wage type mapping in SBM: every type of hours has its wage type code for the payroll program (demo data).
How month-end closing works

Check first, then hand over.

Errors in the timesheet should not go unnoticed until payroll. That is why SBM checks every employee before the handover and then locks the month.

  1. Record hours

    Times come into the timesheet from the terminal, from the app or from the office. SBM calculates supplements automatically.

  2. Review payroll data

    SBM flags days without hours, more than 12 or fewer than 2 hours, hours on days of leave, before the start date, after the leaving date or without a work site.

  3. Reconcile with DATEV

    Before closing, SBM reconciles the values with DATEV and shows differences on both sides.

  4. Lock the month and hand over

    After the check, the month is locked; the monthly values go to DATEV or Addison as wage types.

Your payroll program produces the payroll and the social insurance notifications. SBM also maintains the required master data such as person group, contribution group and occupation code (Tätigkeitsschlüssel).

SBM prepares, your payroll program does the payroll.

SBM is staffing software with payroll preparation, not a payroll program. Payroll is run in DATEV or Addison – in-house or at your tax adviser’s. Your payroll program therefore stays as it is; employees access their finished payslip as a PDF in the employee app.

DATEV is a registered trademark of DATEV eG. Note: General overview, not legal or tax advice.

Does SBM run the payroll itself?

No. SBM is staffing software with payroll preparation; payroll is run in your payroll program. SBM prepares hours, supplements, Equal Pay, industry supplements, holiday, sickness, working time account and advances as wage types and hands them over to DATEV or Addison – in-house or at your tax adviser’s.

Does SBM have a DATEV interface?

Yes. Online via DATEVconnect, SBM reads client companies (Mandanten) and employees and transfers the monthly values as wage types. Without online access, SBM creates a file for DATEV Lohn und Gehalt or LODAS. Employee data can be imported from DATEV.

Does this also work if my tax adviser runs the payroll?

Yes. The monthly values go to DATEV online or as a file – regardless of whether payroll is run in-house or by your tax adviser. The values can also be output as PDF or Excel.

How does SBM prevent errors in the payroll?

Before month-end closing, SBM checks every employee for missing or unusual hours, reconciles the values with DATEV and then locks the month.

Are there other payroll programs besides DATEV?

Yes, SBM also hands over the monthly values to Addison. We are happy to discuss other payroll programs in the presentation.
