Different Payment for Time Infotype Records

Use

You can store information on payment in several of the time infotypes as well as just time data. In this way, employees can receive a special rate of remuneration for certain work activities. The information is then valuated in Payroll.

Features

You can specify a different rate of payment for the following time infotypes:

  • Attendances (2002)

  • Substitutions (2003)

  • Availability (2004)

  • Employee Remuneration Info (2010)

  • Overtime (2005)

    Note Note

    The subtypes of certain time infotypes can also have an influence on payment (for example, the subtypes Substitution type and Availability type ).

    End of the note.

You can determine the remuneration in the following ways:

  • Assigning a premium

    You can assign an employee a premium for particular work activities or working conditions. The premium is selected according to a premium number and a premium indicator. Use the possible entries function to display all permitted premiums with corresponding texts and values.

    You can either assign a premium on its own or together with the following options:

  • Payment according to a different pay scale

    You can use the Pay scale group and Pay scale level fields to enter data on payment for a particular work activity. In this case, the payroll program does not select the rates which are specified for the employee in the Basic Pay infotype (0008), but the employee is paid according to the rates entered here for the duration of the different payment.

  • Payment according to the specifications for a different position

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

  • Correcting payroll results

    The Extra pay and Valuation fields can be used to correct the results of payroll.

    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 in the Valuation and Extra pay fields.

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

    • Extra pay

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

    • Reduction

      If you enter - in the Extra pay field, the amount in the Valuation field is deducted from the valuation basis calculated in payroll.

    • Specifying an alternative amount

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

      Caution Caution

      Please note that you must 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.

Note for customers in the USA:

When you enter a different payment, you can enter an alternative work tax area in the Tax area field.This replaces the tax area entered for the employee in the Work Tax Area infotype (0208). For more information, see Work Tax Area Overrides .
