Bases for
Valuation of Averages
Collective bargaining agreements envisage
various situations whereby employees receive remuneration based on averages
from previous periods - for example, in the case of absence or because of lost
production time. In the following steps, you define the rules for calculating
the averages on which the remuneration is based.
The time unit for the payroll periods must not
be the same as the time unit for the average calculation periods. Even if you
normally run payroll weekly, you can create your average values based over
months.
You adjust the system settings as
follows:
- You create average bases from wage types that
are to be included in the average payment. These subsequently serve as a basis
for the calculation of averages.
- You define the calculation rules for averages.
These are made up of the following stipulations:
- You define the furthest point in the past
which may be used to calculate averages.
The calculation of
averages is based on an employee's relevant payroll results. You define under
what conditions a payroll result or an average period are valid.
You specify how
average bases that are to be included in the calculation of averages are to be
adjusted retroactively - this procedure usually applies to a pay
increase.
You define how
average bases are to be cumulated.
You define the
formula from which cumulated average bases and the relevant previous periods
are to be calculated.
You compare the
calculated average value with the value of a comparative wage type and define
which value should be processed.
- You assign wage types to average calculation
rules. These wage types appear in payroll either after they have been
generated from attendances and
Absences, or after you have entered them online, for example in
the infotypes 0015 or 2010.
Activities
Adjust the system settings in the order
outlined above.
When you create or copy rules, you have to
enter in the namespace four characters beginning with the letter
Z or a number between 0 and 9.
