Nota interna de RR. HH.: nómina, jornada y permisos
Fill in the gaps: nómina, registro horario, convenio colectivo, día libre, dietas, Seguridad Social
(Internal HR memo: payroll, working hours, and leave)
RR. HH. recuerda que la de mayo se abonará el último día laborable e incluirá salario base, complementos y, cuando proceda, por desplazamientos. La empresa cotiza a la según la base indicada en la nómina; cualquier discrepancia debe comunicarse por escrito en un plazo de 7 días. Personalmente, recomendamos revisar también la retención de IRPF y si la paga extra está prorrateada.
En cuanto a la jornada, el es obligatorio y debe reflejar la realidad. Si se detectan horas extraordinarias, se compensarán con pago o con , según lo establecido en el . Lamentablemente, firmar registros incorrectos puede perjudicar una reclamación posterior. Para permisos, se mantiene el procedimiento habitual: solicitud en el portal, aprobación del responsable y, en caso de baja por paternidad, entrega del parte y la documentación correspondiente.HR reminds you that the May payroll will be paid on the last working day and will include base salary, supplements and, when applicable, travel allowances for business trips. The company pays Social Security contributions according to the base shown on the payslip; any discrepancy must be reported in writing within 7 days. Personally, we also recommend checking the personal income tax (IRPF) withholding and whether the extra payment is prorated.
As for working hours, time tracking is mandatory and must reflect reality. If overtime is detected, it will be compensated with payment or with a day off, as established in the collective bargaining agreement. Unfortunately, signing incorrect records can harm a later claim. For leave, the usual procedure remains: request in the portal, manager approval and, in the case of paternity leave, submission of the notice and the corresponding documentation.

Asunto: Consulta sobre nómina y registro de jornada (abril)
Hola, Marta:
Al preparar las nóminas hemos detectado una discrepancia entre el registro de jornada firmado y las horas que aparecen en el cuadrante del equipo. En tu nómina de abril no constan horas extra y, según el responsable, hubo dos días con salida después de las 19:00. Para evitar errores, ¿puedes confirmarnos si hiciste esas horas y si las compensaste con un día libre? Si el registro no se corresponde con la realidad, necesitamos revisarlo antes del cierre de mes.
Gracias,
Laura Gómez
RR. HH.
Subject: Query about payroll and time tracking record (April)
Hi, Marta:
While preparing the payrolls we have detected a discrepancy between the signed time tracking record and the hours shown on the team schedule. In your April payroll no overtime hours appear and, according to your manager, there were two days when you left after 19:00. To avoid errors, can you confirm whether you worked those hours and whether you compensated them with a day off? If the record does not match reality, we need to review it before month-end close.
Thank you,
Laura Gómez

Gracias por avisar. Personalmente, creo que hay un error en el registro de jornada de abril. Sí, esos dos días salí después de las 19:00 (martes 9 y jueves 18) y no los compensé con un día libre. En la nómina no aparecen reflejadas esas horas extra.
Necesariamente habría que revisar tanto el registro firmado como el cuadrante del equipo antes del cierre. Puedo enviar hoy mi registro personal con las horas de entrada, salida y descansos, y los correos en los que se solicitó al equipo quedarse más tarde.
¿Me confirmas, por favor, si esas horas se abonarán en la próxima nómina o si se compensarán de otra forma y cómo debemos documentarlo correctamente?
Un saludo,
Marta
Hi, Laura:
Thank you for letting me know. Personally, I think there is an error in the April time tracking record. Yes, on those two days I left after 19:00 (Tuesday the 9th and Thursday the 18th) and I did not compensate them with a day off. Those overtime hours do not appear on the payroll.
Necessarily, both the signed record and the team schedule would need to be reviewed before closing. I can send today my personal record with the hours of entry, exit and breaks, and the emails in which the team was asked to stay later.
Could you please confirm whether those hours will be paid in the next payroll or whether they will be compensated in another way, and how we should document it correctly?
Best regards,
Marta
