To ensure proper system operation, please follow these steps:

• In the company data section, go to "Companies – Edit", and on the "General Information" tab:
  • In the "NACE(KID) Code" field, first select "NACE(KID)-2025", then choose the appropriate activity type from the 2025 list of economic activities.
  • Select the same activity type in the "LRCC(TZPB) Code" field.
• Enter the company you wish to process and go to "Master Data – Periods", then click "Edit".
• On the "General Information" tab, in the "Main Economic Activity" field, again select "NACE(KID) -2025", followed by the company’s activity type for the relevant period.

Once the new NACE(KID)-2025 codes have been set, run the "Status Analysis" function. This will validate the entered data against the updated MII(MOL) and LRCC(TZPB) requirements effective from April 1, 2025.

If needed, the system will automatically apply changes, provided you check the box "Adjust insurance rates and classes" and confirm with "OK".

Notes on Employment Contracts You do not need to update the activity type in each employee’s contract at this stage for payroll calculations to be correct.
