Definition

Defines the start month of the reference or pay seniority (BDA) and, in combination with the start year, determines the employee's seniority level.

Use

For the Public Sector, the promotion of an employee to an age or seniority level is determined by the start of the reference or pay seniority (cf. §28 Public Sector Remuneration Act (Bundesbesoldungsgesetz) and § 27 sections A and B of the Collective Agreement for Public Sector Employees (Bundesangestelltentarifvertrag)).

The BDA is the date of the (fictitious) entry in the first level of the seniority level or pay scale group. The system uses the month and year of the BDA to determine the current age or seniority level for the employee.

When a person is hired, the system proposes the month and year of the BDA. From this, it determines the age or seniority level for the employee. If the employee is assigned to a different level, reset the BDA accordingly. This is important if you impute employment periods that occur before the hire date. The BDA must be reset by the corresponding employment periods in the following cases:

  • The employee was already employed in the Public Sector before being hired.
  • You want to completely or partially impute periods of employment outside of the Public Sector for a hired employee.

Procedure

To determine the correct age or seniority level for the hired employee, change the month and year of the BDA.

Dependencies

The BDA that is suggested when an employee is hired is dependent on the BDA model. This has been defined in Customizing for Payroll Germany.
