Control Center - People Management - Contract - Statutory Costs - Cost Types

Purpose

Cost Types define the statutory cost categories that can be associated with employees and employment contracts.

They provide a standardized way to classify legally required employment costs, supporting consistent statutory cost management across the organization.

Access Path

Control Center → People Management → Contract → Statutory Costs → Cost Types

Overview

The Cost Types configuration allows administrators to create and maintain the statutory cost categories used within the People Management module.

Each Cost Type represents a specific statutory cost classification, such as work insurance, social security contributions, or other employment-related costs required by applicable legislation.

Once configured, Cost Types become available within the relevant statutory cost processes throughout the application.

💡 All fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.

Review Cost Types periodically to ensure they remain aligned with current legislation and organizational requirements.
