This infotype stores the employee's and employer's social insurance information.

Social Insurance (SI) is a public service that is financed by obligatory contributions from both the employer and the employee. These contributions fund various benefits (for example, unemployment benefits, sickness benefits, family allowances, et cetera).

The SI contribution varies depending on other conditions of your employment, for example, the type of work contract you have obtained.

When you add information to the Social Insurance (B) infotype (0100) basic data fields, you define the conditions from which the SI contribution is calculated. This information influences:

• The calculation of the social insurance contributions.
  Both the employee's SI contribution, that will be deducted from his gross payroll, and the employer's contribution are calculated during the payroll accounting process.

• The social insurance declaration to the National Institute for Social Insurance (RSZ/ONSS).

Additionally, some of the data on this infotype are also relevant to the employee's tax calculation (for example, the employee's specification) and to the tax declaration (Belcotax).

The information is used in other government declarations as well.

If your company uses an external payroll service, you need to transfer the data to the interface.

The Social Insurance (B) infotype (0100) basic data contains all information that is required by the SI and drives the SAP net payroll or other external payroll systems.

By adding information to the fields in this infotype, you define the SI category to which the employer (Employer category and Profession group) and the employee (Employee category, Specification EE and EE Notification) belong. Depending on the SI category, a different SI regulation must be applied.

The infotype also contains personal data (Country of birth, Nationality SI/"BT", Personnel number, Government register number and Pension number). This data is defined in Personal Data infotype (0002), however it is requested by SI for a different use. Therefore it is stored here as well. The Personnel number field refers to the person who is being replaced by the employee.

The country for which the employee information is submitted to the social security is not dependent on the country of employment. For example, this can depend on the country where the labor agreement is actually being performed. Therefore, the SI country field gives you the ability to report these particular cases to the SI.

Since official documents must be delivered in the language that is accepted by the government, add the appropriate language in the Official Language field.

The infotype contains other fields where you can indicate if a reduction of contribution (Deduc. SI contrib. ER) or a supplementary contribution (Factory Shutdown Fund and Wage reduction) can be applied.

Finally, Function SI is a specific SI code that specifies the employee. It refers to employees whose earnings normally contain tips. For these tips, the SI charges a separate contribution.

Some of the basic data refer to the employer category (for example, Profession Group), not to the employee category. The reason for storing the employer category at the employee level is because a company can have more than one activity. As a result, employees can belong to different SI employer categories for which different SI regulations are applicable.
