This process describes the maintenance of data required for calculating the employee’s additional payment based on the performance of functions considered risky for the employee’s safety or health.

Health risks are catagorized as maximum, average, and minimum. The percentage of the additional amount of payment varies according to the rating level. For professions involving risks, the percentage varies according to the risk level.

The definition and category of activities considered risky for an employee’s health and safety is created and provided by the responsible legal authority.

When the system is customized, all required parameters must be carried out in order to calculate risk percentages. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided in the Implementation Guide (IMG): Payroll ® Risk premiums.

Maintenance of information regarding risk premiums is performed by means of instructions contained in the on-line Implementation Guide. Generally, they include the following information:

1. The codes that define risk premium percentages for groups of employees according to personnel areas and subareas are defined in table T7BRRK.
2. The BR21 calculation rule is used for accumulating the number of hours worked over the month for the purpose of calculating the health risk premium:

1. The total number of hours worked within the period is checked in Infotype 0008
2. The final result is the value of one hour of work

3. The BRR1 calculation subprocedure adds worked overtime and night hours and thus determines the period’s estimated number of hours of work.
4. The BRPER feature for determining the percentages that refer to the risk premiums must be customized. Generally, it is used for the following calculations:

1. It accumulates the amounts that refer to the risk premium for a certain wage type in order to form the calculation basis.
2. The BRRK calculation rule calculates the risk premium: It checks whether this premium is an option in infotype 0016 and, if it is, it reads the employee’s group risk percentage entered in table T7BRRK. This percentage is then multiplied by the calculation basis and the result is stored in another wage type.

1. Reading of the health risk indicator in Infotype 0016
2. Accumulated amount of hours worked
3. Calculation of the health risk premium performed by the BRRSK function

This process final result determines the respective amounts for the employee’s safety and health risk premiums.
