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:

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.

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.
