Gross amount
What is the gross amount?
Gross amount is a value "before any deductions", whether it is money, time, or resources. For HR specialists, it serves as the base figure from which actual values, like employee salaries or company expenses, are calculated.
For example, gross employee income is the total amount of all accrued earnings before any deductions are made. This includes salary, bonuses, bonuses, and other payments stipulated in the employment contract or company policy. For example, if an employee has a salary of $5,000 and receives a $1,000 bonus, their gross income would be $6,000. However, after deductions for taxes, insurance, and pension contributions, their net (take-home) pay will be lower.
Gross hours is the total scheduled working hours, excluding absences like sick leave, vacation, or personal time off. For example, if an employee was scheduled to work 160 hours in a month but was absent for 8 hours due to illness, the gross number of hours would remain 160, while the actual number of hours worked would be 152.
We should also mention gross personnel costs, which is all expenses incurred by the company for an employee. In addition to wages, this includes taxes, insurance premiums, training costs, bonuses, and other mandatory or voluntary expenses. For instance, if an employee has a gross salary of $5,000, but the company spends an additional 30% on social contributions, the total gross personnel cost for that employee would be $6,500.
The use of gross figures helps HR specialists and company management to assess personnel-related costs, analyze labor efficiency and plan budgets. They ensure transparency and allow for reasonable calculations. This is especially important when optimizing costs and forming HR management strategies.
