    Q1. After defining the term “contract” differentiates the object from the 
    purpose.
    7.1.1. Definition of employment contract
     Employment contract is an agreement between an employer and an employee 
    whereby an employee undertakes to work under the authority of the employer in 
    return for remuneration. 
    7.1.2. Terms used 
    a) Employee
    A person having agreed to work for an employer under a contract concluded 
    between them, and in return for remuneration.
     b) Employer 
    An individual, a public or private entity that employs one or more employees on 
    a permanent or temporary basis.
    c) Probation period
     The probation period cannot exceed three (3) months.
     However, after the written evaluation of the employee’s performance has been 
    notified to the employee, the employer can for valid reasons related to the nature 
    of work, employee’s performance and conduct, decides that an employee 
    retakes the probation for a period not exceeding three (3) months.
     
    If the probation period comes to an end and proves to be conclusive, the 
    employee is immediately offered employment and notified in writing by the 
    employer.
    d) Salary
     A fixed regular payment, typically paid on a monthly basis but often expressed 
    as an annual sum, made by an employer to an employee.
     e) Wage
     A fixed regular payment earned for work or services, typically paid on a daily or 
    weekly basis.
     7.1.3. Types of employment contract
     a) Permanent employment contact
     Permanent employment contracts apply to employees who work regular hours 
    and are paid a salary or hourly rate. The contracts are ongoing until terminated 
    by either the employer or employee and may be for full or part time work.
     Employees on these contracts are entitled to the full range of statutory 
    employment rights.
     b) Fixed-term contracts
     Fixed-term contracts give a set end date, for example six months or one year.
     c) Casual employment contracts
     The casual employment contract is suitable for scenarios where you want an 
    individual to commit to working for you, but you’re not sure how many hours of 
    work you’ll be able to offer him/her each week and cannot guarantee a regular 
    working pattern. The contract should specify the minimum number of hours that 
    you expect them to work each week, with the expectation being that the working 
    pattern and hours offered above this minimum, is likely to fluctuate.
     7.1.4. The details of employment contract
     It must contain the following particulars or details:
     • The names of employee and employer;
     • The date on which the employment began;
     • The date on which the employee’s period of continuous employment 
       began, taking into account any previous employment is to count as 
       continuous employment
     • The scale or rate of pay and the method of calculation;
     • The intervals at which payment is made;
     • Any terms and conditions relating to holiday entitlement;
    • The end of notice which either party needs to give notice to end an 
       employment;
     • The job title of the employee, or a brief description of his duties;
     • Where the employment is not intended to be permanent, the period for 
        which it is expected to continue, or if it is a fixed term, the date at which 
        the term is expected to end;

     • The place of work;

    Q1. Describe different parties to a valid contract. 

    Q2. Outline the obligations of employer.

     7.2.1. Valid contract requirements
     a) Parties to a valid contract
     Parties of contract are persons who can sign the contract. For a contract to be 
    considered valid, it should include three parties. These are; Offeror who makes 
    an offer, Offeree to whom an offer is made and Witness who sees an event 

    happening.

    v

    b) Elements of a valid contract
     For a contract to be valid and therefore enforceable by law, it must have the 

    following elements: 

    • Intention to be bound by the contract: the two parties should have 
    intended that their agreement be legal. Domestic agreements between 
    husband and wife are not taken as valid. 
    • Offer and acceptance: there must be an offer and the two parties 
    must lawfully come to acceptance leading to a valid contract. Until an 
    offer is accepted, it’s not a valid contract. 
    • Consideration/price: this is the price agreed upon by the parties to 
    the contract and paid by one party for the benefit received or promise 
    of the other parties. 
    • Capacity of the parties: the parties to the contract must have 
    contractual capacity for the contract to be valid, i.e. should be sober, 
    above 18 years, not bankrupt, not insane, and properly registered.
     • Free Consent: parties to the contract must agree freely without any of 
    the parties being forced to accept or enter the contract.
     • Legality/lawful object: the object and the consideration of the 
    contract must be legal and not contrary to the law and public policy. 
    • Possibility of performance: if the contract is impossible to be 
    executed in itself either physically or legally, then such contract is not 
    valid and cannot be enforced by law. 
    • Certainty: the terms of the contract must be clear and understandable 
    for a contract to be valid. If the terms are vague or ambiguous, where 
    even the court may not be able to tell what the parties agreed, then it 

    will be declared invalid.

    Analyze the Photos above and answer the following question: talk about types of leave.

     7.3.1. Definition of   leave

     Referring to human resource, leave is simply taking an off from work 
    day after informing the management formally and sometimes even 
    informally. Leaves are the days that every working professional is entitled to 
    and paid for, apart from the holidays. Paid leaves are a part of benefits offered 

    by companies apart from medical claim.

    What is example of leave?

    Leave is defined as permission, or is time off from work. When you are given 
    permission to attend a party, this is an example of when you are given leave 
    to attend. When you take two months off work to care for your new baby, this is 

    an example of maternity leave.

     7.3.2 Types of leaves

    a) Annual leave
     A public servant is entitled to an annual leave of one month that may be split into 
    three portions maximum. However, a newly recruited public servant is entitled to 

    an annual leave after twelve months including the probationary period.

    b) Incidental leave
     An immediate supervisor grants incidental leave to a public servant in case of 
    fortunate or unfortunate event that occurs in his/her family as follows:
     • Two (2) working days in case of his or her civil marriage;
     • Four (4) working days in case of delivery of his wife;

    fringe benefits.

    c) Maternity leave benefits
     A female employee who has given birth is entitled to a maternity leave of at least 
    twelve (12) consecutive weeks. 

    d) Coincidence of leaves

     When annual leave coincides with incidental leave or maternity leave, the annual 
    leave is suspended and resumes after the incidental leave or maternity leave.

     
    e) Sick Leave
     • Short-term sick leave
     An immediate supervisor grants to a public servant a short-term sick leave not 
    exceeding one (1) month for reasons of sickness ascertained by a recognized 
    medical doctor.
     • Long-term sick leave
     The head of an institution grants to a public servant a long-term sick leave 
    exceeding one 1month but not exceeding six (6) months basing on the decision 
    of a committee of at least three (3) medical doctors, which examines a medical 
    report issued by a medical doctor who treated the public servant, attesting that 

    he or she is unable to work.

    Activity 7.4

    w

    Analyze the photos above and answer the following questions:

     Q1. What is a payroll?

    Q2. State two documents required to produce payroll.

    7.4.1. Definition of payroll
     Payroll is a list of all employees showing the details of their gross wage, 
    deductions and net wages due to them .it is also known as wage sheet.

     In a company, payroll is the sum of all financial records of salaries for an 

    employee, wages, bonuses and deductions. 

    In accounting, payroll refers to the amount paid to employees for services they 

    provided during certain period of time. Therefore, for proper accountability, the 
    employer gives the employee an individual monthly pay slip which details the 
    basic salary, other various allowances and bonuses, withholdings and the net 

    salary on employee’s request.

    7.4.2. Relevant documents required to produce payroll
     1. Clock cards: these show the number of hours worked by each employee. 
        One clock card is allocated to each employee for each pay period. IN 
        and OUT times are recorded on clock cards to determine total hours 
        worked including overtime hours so that remuneration payable to each 
        employee can be computed.
     2. Piece tickets: these provide information regarding the number of items 
         produced by each worker. They are used for workers who are paid 
         according to the work completed.

     3. Employee’s personal cards: they provide information regarding wage rates.

    7.4.3. Importance of preparing payroll on time 
    • It helps to pay employees on time
     • Reduces conflicts between workers and employers

     • It increases employees’ motivation

    Application activity 7.4

    Q1. What are the importance of preparing payroll on time?

    7.5. Payroll system and Elements of payroll

     Activity 7.5

     Case study:  In any entity, payroll is very important document for measuring 
    the amount paid to each employee. Besides, it shows the amount to be 
    paid   to the different agencies like RSSB, RRA.. Thus, the human resource 
    management unit is supposed to create and control personnel records for the 
    success of organization’s operations. The effective management of personnel 
    records enables organizations to manage their employees effectively and 
    efficiently, to initiate informed decision making, to encourage transparency 
    and accountability and to facilitate the monitoring and evaluation of staff 

    performance.

    All operations in relation to human resource management, from preparation 
    of pay slips to strategic planning, ultimately depend on reliable and accurate 
    personnel records. The management needs to understand the special 
    characteristics of personnel records, the legal framework for human resource 
    management and the effect of changing technology on the nature and 

    structure of personnel records.

     Reference made to the above case study, answer the following questions:
     1) Outline any 4 parts included in payroll program

     2) State Payroll system

    7.5.1. Payroll system

     • Manual payroll  system means that accounting systems allow you to 
    process all your normal payroll tasks by hand.
    e

    Advantages of manual payroll system

     • Relatively cheaper since you only need to use either the old-fashioned 
        books or use programs like excel.
    • Independence from network and electricity
    • Doesn’t require high knowledge compared to the computerized payroll 

      system

    Disadvantages of manual payroll system
     • Becomes more difficult as the number of employees grows 
    • More tedious to prepare
     • Does not allow real time reporting and analytics
     • Human error can be a major inconvenience since an individual carries 
    out all timesheets, taxes, wages and other processes 
    • Errors can also be harder to track and might result in various business 
    penalties
     • Errors can be also cause employees to be under / over paid 
    Computerized payroll accounting systems allow you to process all your normal 

    payroll tasks via a computerized system using a software.

    4

    Advantages of a computerized payroll system
     Avoids most common human errors by implementing a system which requires 
    present data and automatic calculations.
     • Payroll computation tends to be more accurate.
     • Payroll can be done on a timely basis.
     • It is easier to maintain.
     • It is easier to track and correct errors.
     • Number of employees being processed will no longer be a problem.
     
    Disadvantages of a computerized payroll system

     • more expensive compared to manual payroll systems.
     • Needs standard computer setup in order to operate it well with certain 
    prerequisites.

     • Needs an initial training for those who will maintain the payroll system.

    7.5.2. Elements of payroll
     a) Serial number
     In payroll records there is a serial number which shows the unique number used 
    for identification of employees. 

    b) Name of employee

     In payroll records there are also the names of persons having agreed to work 
    for an employer under a contract concluded between them, and in return for 

    remuneration

    c) Account number
     An account number is a unique number which show the employee’s owner’s 
    account.


    d) Basic salary

     Basic salary is an amount of money paid to an employee for the work performed, 

    which does not include any allowance

     e) Allowances 
     Any monetary benefit offered by the employer to employees so as to facilitate 
    them to perform well. Among allowances we can list for illustration the following 
    examples: 
    • Transport benefit in Kind:  if the employee benefits from use of a motor 
    vehicle provided by the employer during the tax period, add back 10% 
    of the taxable income in FRW, excluding other benefits in kind. 
    • Housing benefit in Kind: if the employee benefits from accommodation 
    provided by the employer during the tax period, add back 20% of the 
    taxable income in FRW, excluding other benefits in kind.
     • Communication allowances. Etc…
     
    f) Gross salary
    Gross salary is the amount of money employees receive before any tax deduction 
    or taken out.  

    g) Deductions 

    Deductions are money that the employer withholds to contribute to certain 
    agencies like RRA, RSSB, especially from the gross salary. E.g. :
     • Pay As You Earn (PAYE)
     • RSSB employee contribution
    • Contribution to maternity leave
     • Etc…

     • Pay As You Earn calculation

     What are the tax rates for ‘permanent’ employees?
     There are different marginal tax rates for permanent employees depending 
    upon their taxable employment income. The groupings of income are called tax 

    brackets. The tax rates for each tax bracket are as follows:

     Tax rate

    d

    What are the tax rates for ‘casual labourers’?

    Similarly, there are different marginal tax rates for casual employees depending 
    upon their taxable employment income. The groupings of income are called tax 

    brackets. The tax rates for each tax bracket are as follows:

    Tax rate 

    d

    What are the tax rates for ‘employees with more than one employer’?

    The first employer declares the employee as a ‘permanent employee’ as normal. 
    Any additional employers must withhold PAYE at the rate of 30% on all taxable income.

    Practical example
    : Dr DUSHIME is a lecturer in University of Rwanda where 
    he is paid a monthly basic salary of FRW600,000, housing allowances of FRW 
    75,000, transport allowances FRW75,000, responsibility allowances FRW 

    200,000 as a coordinator of evening program in his faculty.

     This one is also a teacher at University of Kigali (UoK) on part time basis and 
    gets the monthly gross salary of FRW 260,000

    Required: Calculate the PAYE 
    Solution: PAYE withheld by UR:  Gross salary: FRW 600,000 + FRW 75,000 
    + FRW 75,000 + FRW 200,000 = FRW 950,000
     From FRW 0 to FRW 30,000: 0% = FRW 30,000 x 0% = FRW 0
     From FRW30, 001 to FRW 100,000: 20 % = (FRW 100,000 – FRW 30,000) 
    x 20% =FRW14,000
     From FRW 100,001 to FRW 950,000: 30 %= (FRW 950,000 –FRW 100,000) 
    x 30% = FRW 255,000
     FRW 0 + FRW 14,000 + FRW 255,000 = FRW 269,000
     PAYE withheld by UoK: FRW 260, 000 x 30% = FRW 78,000

     • Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB) elements

     What are the rates of the pension scheme?
     The pension scheme totals a rate of 8%. This is made up of 3% withheld from the 
    employee and 5% paid by the employer including payments to the occupational 
    hazards scheme. This is charged on all employment income except for transport 
    allowances and transport benefits in kind

    Therefore, the pension base is equal to:

     Pension base = basic salary + benefit in kind house + benefit in kind others + 
    cash allowance house + cash allowance others.
     
    What are the rates of the Maternity leave scheme?

     The Maternity Leave scheme totals a rate of 0.6%. This is made up of 0.3% 
    withheld from the employee and 0.3% paid by the employer. This is charged on 
    all employment income except for transport allowances and transport benefits 
    in kind. Therefore, the pension base is equal to: 

    Pension base = basic salary + benefit in kind house + benefit in kind others + 

    cash allowance house + cash allowance others.
     
    What are the rates of the Medical Scheme?
     The Medical Scheme totals a rate of 15%. This is made up of 7.5% withheld 
    from the employee and 7.5% paid by the employer. This is charged on the 
    ‘Basic Salary’.

    a) Net salary 
    The net salary refers to the amount of money employees receive after all 
    deductions?
     
    b) Community-based health insurance (CBHI)   
                     
    This order has introduced a statutory deduction of 0.5% from every employee’s 
    net salary as a contribution to the community-based health insurance scheme. 
    Employers are to remit these contributions to the Rwanda Social Security Board 
    (RSSB) on or before the 15th of the following month.

     Application activity 7.5

    Q1
    Amahoro employs Innocent and pays him a basic salary of FRW 57,000 

    and a cash allowance of FRW 2,000 for transport and FRW 3,000 for airtime 
    related to calls on behalf of the business. Calculate RSSB contributions for 
    pension and maternity leave.

    7.6. Salary computation and the payment methods of payroll
    Activity 7.6

    Case study 

    The major problem is delay of salaries, which is caused by computations that 
    are manually done. These computations are also prone to errors. The whole 
    process is tiresome and takes long. All this can be solved by automating the 
    system. After identifying the problems in the underlying system, an automated 
    computerized system was developed, to curb the loopholes in the manual 
    payroll system. This system is speedy in the calculations of the net salaries 
    and no errors in the salaries. It also stores the payroll information very well. 
    Most computer payroll system keeps track of details like computer payroll 
    numbers, tax identification numbers, district code, department or institution, 
    country, bank code, name of employee, paying code, title of employee, run 
    date, date of payment, gross pay. P.A.Y.E., RSSB contribution, basic pay, 
    salary scale among other things. 

    After the accounts clerk has deposited the employee’s cheques in their banks 
    and given pay slips by the bank, they need to record the payments made 
    in the system for decision making purposes and generation of monthly and 
    annual reports. Analyze the case study above and referring to the last lesson, 
    answer the following questions. 
    Q1. State RSSB contribution rates you know according to the Rwandan law
     Q2. Outline three payment methods 
    Q3. Explain any five payroll functions.
