Leaving the Pension Fund 

Purpose

If an employee leaves the pension fund, you must determine and identify the leaving benefit and values to be reported to the new pension institution (for example, LOB-age-related credit, labor mobility benefit upon marriage/at age 50), as of the leaving date.

The PF account postings form the basis for the leaving payroll run. For this reason, you must close the account, so that age-related credit and interest exist as postings in the PF account.

Prerequisites

An insured person is entitled to pension benefits. The last payroll run has already been run.

Procedure

  1. HR department: Carry out leaving action for the employee.
  2. PF: Enter the leaving date in the Basic Data PF (0278) infotype for all of the insured person’s funds.
    As soon as the insured person no longer needs to be processed in the PF (for example, if no interest on arrears needs to be processed), you must also delimit the infotype, so that the insured person is not taken into account for evaluations for the whole fund.
  3. PF: Delimit the infotype for all of the insured person’s funds
    Set the leaving date as the end date. If you are processing the employee’s leaving retroactively, you must first run the payroll, to reverse any possible erroneous benefit postings.
  4. PF: Accounts closure on leaving date.
    Do not carry out any other activities that could influence the insured person’s benefits (for example, manual postings).
  5. PF: Create leaving payroll.
  6. PF: Delimit the account. (See Account Maintenance, Account Management).
    This prevents subsequent postings to the account.
  7. PF: Delimiting the personnel number assignment of the account.
    This is necessary, to avoid conflicts upon an employee’s re-entry.

If you want to run the leaving payroll before the last payroll run, you must use the leaving simulation, as various values (master data, postings) could still change.

Result

The PF data is changed. The relevant notification data for the pension fund institution is provided.
