The salary package keeps a candidate's pay on the record as separate figures: current fixum, bonus, deferred pay, expected fixum and expected total cash. Each amount has its own currency. ## A day with the salary package Laura is an executive search consultant in Munich. She works a Head of Finance mandate for a client in Zurich. This morning she finished a call with Anna Beispiel, a finance director at Muster Personal GmbH. Anna told her three things. She earns 150,000 CHF fixed and a 30,000 CHF bonus. She would move for 200,000 CHF in total. Her notice is three months to the end of a quarter. Before, Laura would have typed this into a note. A week later nobody could filter for it, and she would have to remember which candidates wanted what. Now she writes it on the record. **1. Laura opens Anna's record and clicks the pencil in Record details** The pay rows sit under **Additional details**. Each is a normal row, edited the way every other detail is edited. **2. She types the amounts, each with its currency** **Current fixum**: `150000 CHF`. **Bonus**: `30000 CHF`. **Expected total cash**: `200000 CHF`. **Bonus info**: "Paid in March". **Notice terms**: "3 months to quarter end". **Pay as of**: `2026`. She saves. ![Record details with Current fixum, Bonus, Expected fixum, Expected total cash, Bonus info, Notice terms and Pay as of filled in](https://mintcdn.com/yena/mLnz-xNZLjZi6ih1/images/screenshots/pipeline/salary-package-rows.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=mLnz-xNZLjZi6ih1\&q=85\&s=d735cf33b1e5d01dbea8488001c2505d) The pay rows in Record details, filled in for a fictional candidate **3. The pay line appears under Anna's name at once** No reload. Under the name, one line now reads the main figures, so Laura sees Anna's expectations the moment she opens the record, before a client call. ![Pay line under the name: Fixum CHF 150,000, Bonus CHF 30,000, Expected CHF 200,000, as of 2026](https://mintcdn.com/yena/mLnz-xNZLjZi6ih1/images/screenshots/pipeline/salary-pay-line.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=mLnz-xNZLjZi6ih1\&q=85\&s=44944a0538b47f10f4004fa6b39ecf8e) The pay line under the candidate's name **4. Weeks later she searches her own database by pay** A second client asks for a finance lead who expects less than 220,000. Laura opens the filters and asks for it. See [Filter Candidates with the AI filter](https://support.yena.ai/en/workspace/ai-filter.md). Anna is in the result, because the filter reads the same package. What Laura gets: the figures live on the record, with their currency and the year they were true. Nothing depends on a note she wrote and forgot, and the database can answer a pay question. ## The pay rows | Row | What it holds | | - | - | | **Current fixum** | Fixed annual pay today. | | **Bonus** | Current bonus. | | **Deferred** | Deferred pay. | | **Expected fixum** | The fixed pay the candidate expects. | | **Expected total cash** | Fixed pay plus bonus the candidate expects. | | **Bonus info** | Free text, for example how the bonus is paid. | | **Bonus payment date** | When the bonus is paid. | | **Notice terms** | Free text, next to the existing **Notice period** in days. | | **Pay as of** | The year the figures were true. | In the read-only view of Record details, rows with no value are not shown. Click the pencil to see and fill all of them. ## How to enter an amount Type the number, a space and the three-letter currency code: `85000 CHF`. A lowercase code is fine, Yena upper-cases it. * **No currency typed:** the amount is saved without one and shows as "85,000 ยท currency?". Yena never assumes a currency for you. * **Letters that are not a currency code** (for example "EURO") are refused with a reason, and Save stays blocked until you fix them. * **Shorthand like `85k`** is not accepted. Write the full number. * **Clear a row** by emptying it and saving. ## Import and CVs * **CSV import:** the wizard can map columns to the package rows. A row's **Salary Currency** applies to every amount next to it. The number formats "85,000" and "85.000,50" are both read correctly. A new person gets the package from the file. For someone already in your database, only package fields that are still empty are filled. * **CVs and notes:** when Yena reads pay figures from a CV or notes, it fills the package only if the person has none yet. It never overwrites what you typed. ## Filter by pay The **Current salary** and **Salary expectation** filters read the package first: * **Current salary** reads Current fixum, and falls back to the older Current salary value. * **Salary expectation** reads Expected total cash, then Expected fixum, then the older Salary expectation value. Amounts are compared as plain numbers. Yena does not convert currencies, so a filter above 200,000 treats CHF and EUR figures alike. Check the currency on the record when it matters. ## Good to know * **Older records keep their old fields.** Candidates with a Current salary or Salary expectation from earlier keep them. As soon as a package has an amount, the pay line and the filters use the package. * **Everyone who can open the candidate can see the pay.** There is no separate permission for it yet. ## FAQ > [accordion] Why does an amount say "currency?" > > It was saved without a currency. Edit the row and add the code, for example `85000 CHF`. > [accordion] Does Yena convert CHF to EUR? > > No. Amounts are stored and filtered as typed. Add the currency so you can tell them apart. > [accordion] Where is the pay line when a candidate has no package? > > It falls back to the older Current salary and Salary expectation values, where the record has them.
