Background documentation Master Data Maintenance for Family-Related Bonuses Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

You control the calculation of family-related bonuses by maintaining master data in the following infotypes:

Only the Personnel subarea field is relevant to the calculation of family-related bonuses.

The following entries are no longer assigned to infotype 0001. Instead, they must be stored in the FAK payroll unit.

You record all data on an employee’s children in this infotype. You enter data in the following fields:

Field

Meaning

Date of birth

Relevant to entitlement to age-dependent bonuses and bonuses paid after the birth of a child

Accommodation of child

Different bonus amounts (child benefits/training bonuses and bonuses paid after the birth of a child) are dependent on the child’s accommodation:

  • In the household
  • With a single parent
  • In a foreign country

Some cantons have different bonus regulations that depend on the accommodation type. To determine the bonus entitlement, the system checks whether regulations exist for single parents or for children in a foreign country. If this is not the case, the system applies the regulation for children living in the employee’s household.
The advantage of this is that the same amounts do not have to be stored several times for different accommodation types for identical regulations.

Bonus code

Controls the type of bonus entitlement for the child:

  • No bonus
  • Child benefit
  • Training bonus
  • Child benefit for a child who is permanently unable to work

 

Relationship to child

Payment of the bonus for the birth of a child depends on the parent/child relationship (own child, adopted child, stepchild, etc.)

Child’s income

During the validity period of the training bonus, some cantons only pay half of the training bonus or no training bonus at all, depending on the child’s income.

Payment factor

If a factor > 0 is entered, only this portion of the maximum total amount is paid for each possible bonus type. If an employee enters or leaves during the month, the amount calculated this way may be reduced. In the standard system, the amount is no longer reduced depending on the employee’s attendance hours. If you nevertheless want this to happen, you must explicitly activate the Reduced hours indicator.

Reduced hours indicator

The indicator is only meaningful in connection with the payment factor. If you have selected this field, the bonus amount (payment factor multiplied by total amount) is also reduced according to the employee’s attendance hours, provided that this is possible for the bonus in question and the employee has not worked 100%.

 

By making entries in this infotype, you can override default values for employees. The default values result from an employee belonging to an FAK payroll unit with regard to the cantonal or internal company FAK regulations.
