In this step you determine the calculation control for the year-end bonuses.

Generally, the calculation control is dependent on three parameters:

  • Parameter 1
    This parameter is taken from the schema. It determines the type and number of year-end bonuses.
  • Parameter 2 (Grouping for year-end bonus)
    Parameter 2 is the return value from the feature CHJZU. It contains the information concerning the employee's organizational assignment.
  • Parameter 3 is the grouping employee subgroup for the personnel calculation rule.

By specifying parameter 1 you can call up the function in the schema twice. Thus, you can control whether you want to calculate a year-end bonus as 13th month's wages or as an additional 14th month's wages.

For each combination of the three parameters, only one control rule can be defined for a validity interval. On a technical level, the three parameters and the end date form the key of the Calculation Control for Year-End Bonuses view.

During payroll, the payroll driver RPCALCC0 evaluates the Calculation Control for Year-End Bonuses view (V_T5C3H) for each employee. The system checks if there is an entry with all three parameters. If this is not the case, the system reads the table in the following order:

  • Entry with parameter 1 and 3
  • Entry with parameter 1 and 2
  • Entry with parameter 1

If an employee changes employee subgroups and if different calculation controls are valid for the two employee subgroups, the change is processed as a leaving/reentry. The employee receives the portion of the year-end bonus that corresponds to the rules of his or her former employee subgroup. The cumulations are reset accordingly.

Example

PRECONDITIONS&

In the preceding step, Create Grouping for Year-End Bonuses, you must have maintained the feature CHJZU.

Standard settings

The standard system contains a model entry for the calculation of both a 13th and 14th month's wages.

Recommendation

Activities

In the HR-CH: Calculation Controls for Year-End Bonuses view, select the appropriate line and choose Detail.

To maintain the calculation controls, make the following settings:

  • Group boxes Payment Periods
    • Select each period in which an installment of the year-end bonus is to be paid.
  • Group box Control Parameters
    • Base for the calculation of the installment
      This can be either the average period wage (variant 1) or the wage from the current period. By using the wage from the current period two variants are available. One is based on the current month (variant 2). The other takes the whole period, including entries/leavings and unpaid absences, into account (variant 3).
    • With variants 1 and 3, which evaluate the collective period, you can specify whether a prorated paymentis to be made upon leaving, retirement, or organizational change (see above).
    • Cancelling reserves:
      If you do not set the indicator, the reserve is not explicitly cancelled. At the end of year, or when the employee leaves, the system checks whether the reserve amount corresponds with the total payment amount. If this is not the case, a reserve difference is posted.

      If you set the indicator, the reserve in the payment period is explicitly cancelled. If the last payment is made before the end of the year, the payment amount is deducted from the reserve, thereby resulting in a negative reserve amount. The negative amount is cleared using reserves from subsequent periods. At the end of the year, the cumulated reserve amount with this variant is always zero.
  • Group box Wage Types
    In this group box, you maintain the subsequently listed wage types. SAP recommends that you NOT make changes in the technical wage types.
    • Year-End Bonus: A wage type that determines installment payments for the year-end bonuses
      • The wage type for the year-end bonus must be different from the correction wage type (see below). The wage type used here also cannot be entered as a correction wage type in any other calculation formula in the same grouping (for example, L13 or L14).
    • Correction: A wage type for payment or recovery of one of the year-end bonuses.
    • If the current salary is taken into account, this can only be the case for leavings or retirements provided that you have set the appropriate indicator.
    • When considering the current wage, this is only required if the employee leaves or retires. The relevant indicator must be set.
      • The correction wage type must be different from the wage type for year- end bonuses. The wage type used here also cannot be entered in any other calculation formula in the same grouping (for example, L13 or L14).
    • Recovery: The wage type for making recoveries.
    • Anticipated Wage: The wage type for the "anticipated" wage.
      This wage type is used if the last payment occurs before the end of the year. In this case, the outstanding periods must be projected. This anticipated wage is stored in this wage type and then, at the end of the year, or when the employee leaves, this amount is compared to the actual wage.
    • Basic Wage Cum.: The cumulation wage type for the base of year-end bonuses.
    • PP Factors Cum: The wage type for the cumulation of partial period factors.
      Variants 2 and 3 also require this wage type.
    • Payment: The wage type that contains the total payment amount for the year-end bonuses.

Further notes

Recoveries (wage type /480) are made for all variants (consideration of average wage, current wage) based on the partial-period monthly wages of which 1/12 has been recovered in every period.
