In this step, you use rules to define the contributions made by the employer to employee benefit plans. You do this for each employer contribution variant for each plan.

You can define the contribution amount and the contribution limit in either of the following ways:

  • As a fixed amount or amount per unit contributed by the employee
  • As a percentage of employee salary or employee contribution

    If contributions are dependent on salary, actual salary is used as the basis for determining deductions, whereas the benefit salary is used as the basis for calculating contributions outside payroll, for example, in reporting and cost overviews.

You need to define a rule for each possible combination of employee grouping that exists for the criteria in the variant. To help you, the system only allows you to enter those employee groupings that you defined as relevant in the cost variant. If a variant has no criteria, you only need to assign one rule to it.

Note

  • Employer contributions can be based on pre-tax, post-tax or pre- and post-tax employee contributions.
  • You can define multiple employer matching rules for one employee contribution in a single rule, using sequence numbers. For information on employer matching, see the SAP Library (Human Resources -> Personnel Management -> Benefits Administration (PA-BN) -> Benefits Administration -> Case Studies -> Employer Matching).

    Even if you are only defining a single employer contribution in the rule, you still need to enter a sequence number. If you are defining multiple employer matching rules in a single rule, you need to enter a different sequence number for each employer contribution (the order of numbering is irrelevant).

    If your organization requires more complex customizing for multiple contributions, you may need to implement a user exit.

  • If you define a contribution limit as a percentage of employee base salary or employee contribution, and the resulting value on the calculation key date is zero (for example if the salary is zero), the limit is zero currency units, and no employer contributions are made.
  • Rounding takes place on the basis of the period that is set in the variant and displayed in this view for informational purposes only. Values are first calculated for this period and then rounded.

Example

In the Standard Savings Plan, the employer matches employee contributions according with a certain percentage. The employer contribution variant ERCO with the criterion Age is defined for the plan. In the parameter group assigned to the variant, there are two age groups; AGE1 and AGE2. Therefore, two rules are set up for the variant ERCO:

Age group    EE age    ER match

AGE1    00-39    30% of gross salary

AGE2    40-99    40% of gross salary
