In this step you define employer contribution variants to determine which factors influence the contribution the employer makes to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).

You do not enter any actual contributions in this step. You simply define the possible ways in which employer contributions for a plan can vary depending on selected criteria.

For plans in the category Miscellaneous, you determine how employer contributions vary for plan options in the step Define Miscellaneous Plan Attributes. Note that you only need to define employer contribution variants for those miscellaneous plans that you specified as contribution-relevant and requiring an employer contribution variant in the step Define Miscellaneous Plan General Data.

Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:

  1. Determine how often employer contributions vary for plans and any plan options.

    This indicates how many contribution variants you need.

  2. Determine how employer contributions vary according to employee data.

    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.

    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employer contribution grouping to determine employer contribution.

Note

For information on employer matching, see the SAP Library (Human Resources -> Personnel Management -> Benefits Administration (PA-BN) -> Benefits Administration -> Case Studies -> Employer Matching).

Example

The contribution awarded to an employee for a plan is based only on the employee's age, as defined by the age groups in the parameter group STRD. Therefore, this parameter group is entered in the variant, and the criterion Age is selected.

Requirements

You have created any parameter groups that you want to assign to your variant in the step Define Parameter Groups.

Activities

  1. Select the period for which the variant is valid.

    This period applies to all rules associated with the variant.

  2. Specify the criteria that are relevant to the calculation of contribution in the variant.
    1. If you specify a parameter group, indicate which of the referenced employee criteria groups you want to use.
    2. Set the ER contr.group. indicator if you want to use the employer contribution grouping feature to group employees.
  3. If, for any of the criteria you have attributed to the variant, you want employees to be allocated to a grouping using values on a specific day, enter a cutoff day. Otherwise the system calculates the grouping based on the calculation base date.
  4. If you want to use a date other than the employee's hire/termination date as the start/end date for seniority calculation, enter a date override.

    For the calculation of seniority, you have the option of entering a calculation process instead of using the standard benefits calculation.

  5. If want to assign rules to the variant in which contributions are based on employee salary, and you want the benefit salary used to determine actual deductions to be calculated on a day other than the calculation base date, enter a cutoff day.
  6. Define a waiting period, if required.

    If you want the waiting period for contributions to start on a date other than the participation begin date, enter a date override.

  7. If you specify a waiting period, you can determine the day on which contributions start after this period.
