Valuate Absences Using "As If" Principle

In this IMG activity, you decide which absence valuation rules should be paid according to the "as if" principle.

The "as if" principle of absence valuation means paying employees exactly as if they had worked. This includes bonuses that form part of the employee's planned working time. Overtime is not taken into account when absences are valuated using the "as if" principle.

Absence valuation based on the "as-if" principle can be performed in time wage type selection in time evaluation. In this case, wage types that have already been determined for absence valuation are passed on to Payroll using table ZL. These wage types are assigned the IFTYP A via time evaluation, on the basis of which you can query the absences.
When absences are valuated in Payroll, they are only taken into account if you have specified additional regulations (regarding the formation of counting classes, for example).

Example

An employee grouping is paid according to time worked. One employee should have worked 160 hours in the month. Instead, he worked 120 hours and was unable to work the other 40.

• Wage types must be generated for these 40 hours so that the employee can be paid for the absence.

• The employee is also to receive bonuses for Sunday work, night work, and so on, just as he would have if he had worked as normal. This is stipulated by the collective agreement, legal requirements, or enterprise-specific regulations.
