Seniority Infotype (0092)
Definition
In this infotype you store the data relating to seniority for each employee.
In those companies where seniority is calculated, this infotype must be completed, since the information contained in it is used by the system in the payroll process. At the same time, the said information is used for statistical purposes.
Use
Through the data introduced in this infotype, you supply the system with the conditions applicable to the employee in question for the calculation of the appropriate seniority payments, and information on how to take them into account when calculating payroll.
Structure
In the Seniority infotype the following fields and field groups are especially important:
'Global data' field group
In the field ‘Procedure’ of this field group, you can select the procedure in which the payment method and valuation method are associated for calculating the employee seniority. If you have already determined a procedure through the EANTI feature in the Payroll Implementation Guide, the system proposes this procedure automatically. By pressing the ‘Info’ key located to the right of this field, you will find additional information on the chosen procedure.
’Sen.date’ field
In this field of the ‘Automatic calculation’ section you must enter the date from which the system must start to automatically calculate seniority.
If you do not want the system to calculate seniority automatically, you must leave this field blank.
'Manual Calculation' field group
In this field group, you can enter the data corresponding to seniority cumulated by the employee in the past and which must continue to be taken into account for payroll up till the start date of the automatic calculation. This seniority can be specified in time periods (two-year periods, three-year periods, etc.) or in seniority days. When specifying time periods, in this field group, you have the possibility of specifying the number of time periods to consider and the date on which each one was cumulated.
Additional information: ‘Cumulated seniority'
By entering the infotype in the ‘Create’ mode, you will find this additional information when you press the calculator icon in the top left margin of the screen. The additional information on cumulated seniority will help you to calculate employee payments quickly and easily, as well as the value of the corresponding sections.
Integration
When you create a new record in this infotype, the system specifies default values for some fields , which it takes from the data entered in the Organizational Assignment infotype (0001) and Personal Data infotype (0002).
When you record the entered data, the system checks the procedure specified with the settings made in the payroll calculation Implementation Guide under Payroll ® Seniority
