Bygglösen

By the 30th of every other month, all member companies of Byggföretagen working under Byggavtalet must send payroll statistics to Byggnads. To ensure the data cannot be identified, ByggLÖSEN is used, where LÖSEN stands for LÖneunderlag Säkert and ENkelt. The reporting should include time-based pay, performance-based pay, and any additions.

We recommend that you wait to report the payroll statistics until the pay run for the month after the reporting month is completed. For example, if you need to report the statistics for January, you should wait until the February pay run is finished.

You can only report statistics to Bygglösen for employees with the employment type Complete.

Here, you select the occupation code for the employee. The list is based on SCB's occupational codes. If the employee does not have an occupational code, select Ej specificerad (not specified).

The distribution rate indicates the percentage of the ordinary hourly wage that the employee should receive. It is based on factors such as age, education, and experience. For example, an apprentice might receive 65 percent of the hourly wage. Read more at losenrapportering.se.

Settings for pay codes

  1. Select the pay code and choose the Other information tab.

This shows to which field in the statistical report the pay code will be reported. By default, pay codes included in the statistics have a preset option for Bygglösen.

  2. Select Save.

If the employee receives allowances every month, you can add the pay code under Recurring items on every payslip when you have selected Payroll - Employees, the Pay tab.

Create file for Bygglösen

Here's how to report payroll statistics:

  1. Select Payroll - External reporting.
  2. Select the Bygglösen tab.

Here you can see a list with report data based on created pay runs. If the list is empty, it might be because there are no pay runs or employees set up for Bygglösen. In that case, follow the instructions under Make settings before reporting to Bygglösen for the first time.

  1. Select the report data for the measurement period.
  2. Select the employee from the list.

The data in the top part of the dialogue is retrieved from the employee list.

In the construction industry, there are two types of salaries.

  • Time-based pay is used for employees with a fixed monthly salary or hourly wage.

  • Performance-based pay is used for employees with variable pay based on performance. This type of pay can be either performance pay or piecework pay.

The data on the Time-based pay tab is retrieved from registered pay runs but can be adjusted here. If you have created multiple pay slips for the same period, the values will be recalculated.

If the details in the statistics are incorrect, we recommend updating the employee's payslip so that the correct information is fetched automatically.

  1. Enter the details on the Performance-based pay tab.
  2. Enter the details on the Additions tab.
