Determination of Interruption Periods (SAP Library - Personnel Administration (PA-PA))

Determination of Interruption Periods

Use

You use this function to define the interruption duration from which a postponed employment period is reset to zero and is not imputed.

Example

In Public Sector payroll for a country, the previous employment period is not taken into account if the interruption period is longer than five years. Interruption periods are all periods in which the employee is not employed in the public sector.

An employee was actively employed in the Public Sector from 01 January 1981 to 31 December 1989. This corresponds to an employment period of nine years. This employee then left the Public Sector. If the employee then worked again in the Public Sector from December 31, 1994, the nine year employment period would be imputed. If the employee returns to work in the Public Sector after this date, this employment period is not taken into account.

Integration

The following periods are classed as interruption-relevant:

Periods of a selection class that is classed as interruption-relevant.

You assign the interruption-relevant indicator for the selection classes in Customizing for Personnel Administration under Evaluation Bases ® Calculation of Employment Period ® Valuation Model ® Define Valuation Model. You also enter the decisive interruption period here.

Gaps that occur within the valuation model when the periods have been selected

The following graphic gives an example.

Note

You can use the special class Remaining periods to enter gaps after selection via a selection class for Public Sector Austria.

The following graphic shows what happens when the interruption period is reached: The employment period is set to zero. The SAP System takes gaps into account as well as interruption-relevant periods.

Prerequisites

Interruption periods are only taken into account for calculation type 1 (Calculation of the duration of an employment period) and calculation type 2 (Calculation of end of employment period).

Note

The SAP System does not use this function for periods calculated using calculation type 3 (Calculation of start of employment period). For more information on the calculation type, see General Process of Employment Period Calculation and Technical Process of Employment Period Calculation.
