This infotype lets you enter all the information about an employee's non-productive time caused by sickness or an accident at work. Maternity leave may be displayed here but the relevant data must always be entered through infotype ‘Maternity’ (0080).

The ‘Work stopped’ (0424) infotype can be used to integrate compensation for loss of productive time due to the above reasons into the payroll, where it is read.

• It is used as the basis for outputting preparatory reports of the forms intended for social services authorities, such as pay statements for the payment of Social Security Sick Pay (Indemnité Journalière de Securité Sociale, IJSS) and industrial accident declarations (déclaration d'accident du travail) sent by the employer to the Sickness Insurance Fund (Caisse Primaire d'assurance Maladie, CPAM).

• It is used to evaluate the Social Security Sick Pay (Indemnité Journalière de Sécurité Sociale, IJSS) entitlement for an employee who has stopped work, based on the employee's payroll result.

The calculation of the amount held on the net salary is performed using infotype 0424 which contains the net amount of IJSS pre-calculated by the system. If it is not possible to pre-calculate this compensation, it will be calculated during the payroll process.

• The data in the ‘Work Stopped’ infotype (0424) is read in order to manage an employee's absence compensation quota.

Each line represents a work stoppage and to access the relevant non-productive period data entry screen, you need only select the corresponding line.

2. To enter or edit the data directly without going through the summary, you need only select the sub-type of the relevant non-productive period, i.e.:

• MAL for sickness;
• ATT for accident at work or illness due to work.

In the last-named case, the infotype includes two screens for entering information due to an industrial accident, as there is a greater amount of essential information to be entered here and used for the Industrial accident declaration than in the other two cases. You access the 2^nd screen via the ‘Additional data’ button.

The 'Quota value' button located at the top of the screen displays the status of the employee compensation on the start date of the work stoppage entered in the infotype access screen.

The information obtained is displayed in the form of a tree structure. This indicates for each type of work stoppage (accident at work, illness), the number of days eligible for compensation and the days which are compensated by compensation bracket.

For IJSS calculation

• When data is entered in infotype 0424, the case number which identifies work stoppage must always be indicated. It is proposed by default by the system. If you wish to record an extension to the work stoppage, you must create a record with the same case number. To do this, copy the infotype corresponding to the work stoppage which is to be extended, modifying the dates accordingly.

• The start and end dates for work stoppage must correspond to the dates recorded on the medical certificate, issued by the doctor.

The latter then generates dynamically a 0424 infotype for work stoppage due to maternity and a 2001 infotype for the corresponding absence.

• The IJSS payment by Social Security to the employer of the employee benefiting from compensation creates an ‘IJSS Slip’ infotype (0425), the validity dates of which must be within those for Work Stopped (0424). The two infotypes must accordingly be linked by the same case number.

If an employee is entitled to IJSS compensation during a non-productive period, but the system refuses the case, use the ‘Additional Payments’(0015) infotype instead of 0425 infotype to enter the IJSS manually.

Example: the employee has been with the company for less than three months but has contributed for a longer period.
