What is the gross amount?
Gross amount is a value “before 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 of all accrued benefits 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 $2,000 and receives a bonus of $1,000, his gross income will be $3,000. But he will receive a smaller sum “on hand”, since taxes, insurance and pension contributions will be deducted from gross income.
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.
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.
