General description of the calculation process

Process

The system checks first whether the employee is recorded as having left during the period.

If the employee is not recorded as having left during the period, read the Termination of Contract infotype (0551) and specify the following data:

Employee entry and leaving date in the company

Recognized entry date

Legal regime to use for the calculation of severance pay

Type of work contract

Following this, the system specifies the seniority of the employee in the company, according to the entry date, the date of the Date Specifications infotype (0041) or according to the data in the Termination of Contract infotype (0551).

The system then calculates the severance payment to the employee, according to the severance pay list stored in the Termination of Contract infotype (0551). To do this, the system:

Identifies the severance pay wage type and the corresponding function module, in accordance with the setting in the Implementation Guide, in the section Payroll Argentina ® Severance Pay ® General Settings ® Severance Pay Definition ® Assign Severance Pay Codes to Work Regime
If there is an amount entered in the field Amount entered for payment of the severance in the selection screen of the Termination of Contract infotype (0551), you store the payment wage type in the internal table IT with the amount entered.

If there is no amount entered in the screen of this infotype, you calculate the severance payment according to the function module entered in the Implementation Guide.

Once you have calculated the severance pay amount, you apply the appropriate adjustments (where entered) following the field Percentage entered in the Implementation Guide, in the section Payroll Argentina ® Severance Pay ® General Settings ® Severance Pay Definition ® Define Rules for Severance Pay Calculation.
