Corrections to previously submitted contribution statements
If the employer needs to make corrections to older wage statements that have been sendsubmitted it is necessary to send send an email to skilagrein@efling.is. It is only possible to correct up to 3 months back in time.
Contribution statements back in time
Only financial statements are accepted up to 3 months back in time. It is possible to contact by email (skilagrein@efling.is) if needed send financial statements longer than 3 months back.
How are contribution statements paid?
A payment slip is sent to the employer’s online bank after a contribution statement has been submitted to Efling. However, the claim is not created until the contribution statement has been reviewed, and if any discrepancies are identified, the claim is created on the basis of the reviewed contribution statement.
– If no claim appears in the employer’s online bank, the contribution statement has for some reason not been received.
When should contribution statements be paid?
The due date is the 15th day of the month following the payroll month.
– The due date is the last working day of the same month. If payment is not made by hand before the due date, penalty interest is calculated from the due date to the payment date.
What if the contribution statements are not paid?
The debt collection process begins if contributions are not paid by the final due date. A reminder is sent 7 days after the final due date, and a collection warning is sent 15 days after the final due date. If the claim has still not been paid 11 days after the collection warning, it is referred for legal collection.
Example of contributions for the month of April:
- Payment day is May 15.
- Deadline is 31 May.
- Reminder sent 6 June.
- Collection warning sent June 14, where an 11-day grace period is given.
- The arrears will be sent to debt collection on June 25th if the claim is not paid.
