    Fora Settings in Vendion Payroll – Agreement, Registration Code and Who Is Not Covered

    The Fora file in Vendion Payroll reports blue-collar workers' pay to Fora every month. Its settings are under Personal ▸ Inställningar ▸ Lön ▸ Vendion Lön ▸ Fora and apply to the whole company. You need the permission to edit payroll. You take the file itself under Övriga filer (other files) in the payroll run's Betala och rapportera (pay and report) step (see AGI and Fora with Vendion Payroll).

    Fora: agreement and registration

    At the top it says what Gäller nu (applies now), for example Rapporterar till Fora med FOK… (från januari 2027) (reports to Fora with FOK…, from January 2027), and coming changes. Without a setting it says Ingen inställning: Fora-filen bär bara löneuppgifter. (no setting: the Fora file only carries pay data).

    1. Answer Rapporterar bolaget arbetarnas löner till Fora? (does the company report the workers' pay to Fora?)
      • Ja (yes): the company has a collective agreement (e.g. Gröna riksavtalet) or an insurance agreement with Fora
      • Nej (no): neither a collective agreement nor an insurance agreement. No Fora file is then created.
    2. If yes: fill in Uppmärkningskod (registration code), FOK followed by six digits. The code is on Fora's Mina sidor under Företagets uppmärkningar. If the company has no collective agreement but an insurance agreement, the code is FOK301123.
    3. Choose Gäller från (applies from), the payment month the setting starts. It can be at most one year ahead.
    4. Press Spara Fora-inställningen (save the Fora setting).

    A new setting applies until further notice and replaces what applied from the same month. The old one stays in the history. The Fora file uses the setting for the payment month.

    With the registration code, the Fora file itself registers new blue-collar hires with their start date and ends employments with the end date, so you do not have to do it on Fora's Mina sidor. That requires the staff record to have the employment's first day, and for someone with a coordination number an address. Employments that started before the first month in Vendion Payroll count as already registered.

    Without a setting the file is created with pay data only, and the payroll run reminds you to enter the agreement and code.

    With No no Fora file is created. If the company has Gröna riksavtalet as its collective agreement and No for the month, the payroll run is stopped by a blocker, because the agreement requires insurance with Fora (s. 28). Change the setting if it is wrong.

    Fora: people not covered

    The Fora file includes everyone who has been paid, except salaried employees (staff type Tjänsteman on the staff record) and those marked here. Mark someone not covered by Avtalspension SAF-LO for another reason.

    1. Press Markera en person (mark a person), choose Person (also those who have left), Från utbetalningsmånad (from payment month) and write an Orsak (reason), for example Pension through another agreement (3–500 characters).
    2. Press Markera… and confirm with Markera.

    The person is left out of the Fora file from that month, every month until the marking is ended. The person must have a valid personal identity number.

    The table shows Person, Gäller (applies, for example Från november 2026, tills vidare), Orsak, Status (Gäller nu, Kommande coming, Avslutad ended or Ångrad undone) and Åtgärd (action).

    End a marking: press Avsluta (end), choose from which payment month the person is to be in the Fora file again, write a reason and press Avsluta. If the marking was wrong from the start, tick that it should be undone completely; the person is then included for the first month too. An ended marking cannot be reopened.

    Good to know

    • A person without a staff type counts as a worker and is included in the Fora file, and the payroll run warns. Choose Arbetare or Tjänsteman on the staff record.
    • If everyone is marked, there is no Fora file for the month.
    • Salaried employees' pay is reported to Fora once a year, with the Fora tjänstemän file under Övriga filer.
