Determining a Different Payment

Use

If you implement SAP Human Resources , you can enter a different payment in the Time Sheet for certain activities that an employee performs. This option is available if you are entering data on an attendance or remuneration information. This enables you to determine that certain attendance types or wage types are not valuated using their regular value in Payroll but, instead, according to the different value you have defined.

Note Note

Note for US customers:

If necessary, you can enter a different tax area for an employee, which overrides the tax area entered for the employee in the Work Tax Area infotype (0208). For more information, see: Work Tax Area Overrides .

End of the note.

Prerequisites

You must display the relevant fields in the field selection of each data entry profile that is to be used to enter data on a different payment.

Features

Assigning a premium

You can assign an employee a premium for particular work activities or working conditions. You select the premium according to a premium number and a premium indicator .

You can also assign a premium in addition to the following options:

Payment according to a different pay scale

You can use the Pay scale group and Pay scale level options to redefine the payment for a particular work activity. In Payroll, the prices defined in the Basic Pay infotype (0008) are not selected. Instead, the payment for the period of the different payment is based on the prices you specify here.

Payment according to the specifications for a different position

You can use the Object type and Position options to assign the payment for the work activity according to the specifications for a different position.

Correcting payroll results

You can use the Extra pay and Valuation options to correct the Payroll results.

Not every wage type is valuated using a fixed amount in payroll. The payroll program calculates a valuation basis during the payroll run which is used to valuate a wage type. The valuation basis is derived from the basic pay and the payments and deductions. You can change the valuation basis for the specified period using the Valuation and Extra pay options.

Enter an amount in the Valuation field. The extra pay indicator determines how the new valuation basis is formed:

  • If you enter a "+" in the Extra pay field, the amount in the Valuation field is added to the valuation basis calculated in payroll.

  • If you enter a "-" ( minus ) in the Extra pay field, the amount in the Valuation field is deducted from the valuation basis calculated in payroll.

  • If you do not make an entry under Extra pay , the valuation basis calculated for the wage type in payroll is replaced by the specified amount.

Caution Caution

Note that you should only ever use one of the options for assigning a different rate of payment. An exception is the premium, which you can assign in addition to one of the other options.

End of the caution.
