(increased pay for overtime, reimbursement of professional expenses) or on occasion
of his dismissal (severance pay). However, not all of them have the nature of salary in this

This distinction is important because, among the various amounts that the employee can receive,
Only those with the character of salary are taken into account to check if the employer complies.
well the legislation relating to the minimum wage and, where applicable, the minima provided for by the collective agreement.
11. Applications.
1-Definition of salary:
The employee receives, in return for the work they provide, a remuneration called 'salary'.
The labor code has avoided giving any definition of salary; it has focused more on
principle of determining its amount.
Indeed, Article 345 of the code states that the salary is freely determined by direct agreement between the
parties or by collective labor agreement, but its amount is most often determined by
the employer based on the qualification recognized for the employee at hiring.
Article 375 of the Labor Code specifies that the non-issuance of a detailed pay slip as well as
Having a pay slip will cost the company a fine ranging from 300 to 500 DH.
This fine is applied as many times as there are employees, but without exceeding the total of
fines do not exceed the amount of 20,000 DH.
3-Base Salary
Several fastening modes are possible:
- Based on the duration of actual work (this is the most common mode);
- On the yield, based on known and previously defined standards (piecework,
piecework...) ;
- Under a fixed package. A fixed package agreement between the employee (most often a manager) and the employer.
must therefore be concluded in writing. It must also be precise and quantified.
4-Gross Salary
The gross salary includes all agreed amounts and benefits granted by
the employer:
Base salary, benefits in kind and cash, bonuses, rewards, tips, as well as
increases provided by law or collective agreements (increase for hours
additional, night work, Sunday work, dirty or strenuous work...
4.1- Overtime:
Employees can be employed beyond the normal working hours under the conditions that
will be set by regulatory means.
This increase is raised respectively to 50% and 100% if the overtime hours are
performed on the weekly day of rest or public holidays, even if a compensatory rest is
granted to the employee.
Example: If the markup rate is 25%, additional hourly rate = normal hourly rate X 1.25.
Application :
M. FILLALI works in a company where salaries are paid at the end of each week. The rate
The normal rate is 9 Dh.
Mr. FILLALI's salary for a 52-hour work week, the overtime has
was carried out on a working day from 11 PM to 3 AM) is:
Overtime = 4h X (9 Dh X 1.5) = 54 Dh
486 Dh
Benefits in kind are considered a component of salary and must necessarily be included in the
pay slip
Attention: One must not confuse benefits in kind with professional expenses.
in-kind benefits are a coverage of a part of the personal expenses of employees, while
Professional expenses are costs inherent to or related to the employee's job.
Examples:
- When an employer provides an employee with a vehicle that they can use for purposes
Both professional and personal, private use constitutes a benefit in kind.
On the other hand, when an employee is required to use their personal vehicle for purposes
professional expenses, the reimbursement made by the employer corresponds to costs
professionals.
The value of the housing is equal to the actual rental value of the housing, increased by the
other related advantages such as water, lighting, heating, telephone,
as well as domestic service and guarding.
In the absence of a real rental value, it is estimated based on the determined value.

same end.

He will have nothing for the seventh child.

7-INCOME TAX:
Studying the taxation of salary income requires defining this income (the composition of the base
tax), the accepted exemptions and the appropriate taxation method, according to the provisions of
law on income tax on salaries.
However, salary income encompasses a variety of incomes that we will review in order to
specify the scope of application of the salary tax.
Once this scope is delineated, it is necessary to specify the elements to be exempted and in
under what conditions are we allowed to do it?
This work allows for the determination of a taxable gross salary, from which one must subtract
deductions defined by law to have a taxable net salary.
Depending on the level of the latter, the employer will apply the appropriate tax rate and amount.
