In this step, you determine how overtime wage types are compensated.

The options are to remunerate overtime hours, or to grant the employee time off for working overtime and possibly cumulate the overtime in special time types.

The type of compensation can be predefined for each individual wage type. You can also control overtime compensation by means of the overtime compensation type in the Attendances (2002), Attendance Quotas (2007), or Overtime (2005) infotypes. In this case, the compensation can be varied according to the individual employee and time period.

Example

  • A wage type MM10 is generated for overtime hours and means that the employee's working time is valuated with the basic wage plus a bonus. Overtime is generally remunerated and cannot be compensated by time off. Enter "A" in processing class 17 of the wage type.
  • A wage type MM10 is generated for overtime hours and means that the employee's working time is valuated with the basic wage plus a bonus. This wage type is usually passed on to payroll to be remunerated. You also want it to be possible to credit the employee with time off instead of payment. Enter "D" in processing class 17 of wage type MM10.
  • You want the night bonus for overtime to be remunerated regardless of the compensation type in the Attendance Quotas infotype (2007), without being added to the overtime time types. Enter 0 in processing class 17 of the wage type Night bonus 35%.

Requirements

Standard settings

Compensation depends on the value of processing class 17 of the overtime wage type. Processing class 17 is evaluated by function POVT TC40 GEN in the standard SAP system, and the specifications are as follows:

0 Remuneration without relevance for overtime time types
A Remuneration with cumulation in overtime time type
B Compensation (time off) on a 1:1 ratio, bonuses paid
C Compensation (time off) using factor from % rates of wage type
D Depends on compensation type. Default as for A
E Depends on compensation type. Default as for B
F Depends on compensation type. Default as for C

If you use 0, A, B, or C, the method of compensation is defined once only and cannot be overridden by the overtime compensation type.

If you use D, E, or F, compensation depends on the overtime compensation type specified in the Attendance Quotas (2007) and Overtime (2005) infotypes. The compensation is different for D, E and F only if no compensation type has been specified (default setting).

Compensation (time off) for overtime involves multiplying the overtime hours by a factor, and crediting them to a compensation account. The factor is derived from the total of percentage rates specified in the overtime wage type:

% rate of base wage type / 100
+ % rate of 1st derived wage type / 100
+ % rate of 2nd derived wage type / 100
----------------------------------------------------
= factor with which the hours are credited to the
compensation account

In the standard system, the compensation account is maintained in time type 0410 (time off for overtime). Absence quota 02 in infotype 2006 is also updated in parallel by the evaluation of the day balance of time type 0410 by the QUOTA function.

The following time types are maintained in order to count the number of overtime hours worked:
0041 - Compensation (time off) with factor from % rates of wage type
0042 - Remuneration with cumulation in overtime time type
0043 - Compenation (time off) on a 1:1 ratio, bonuses paid

Night bonuses from overtime are a common example of wage types from overtime that do not fill these time types.

Recommendation

To use the compensation rules mentioned above, you do not have to modify personnel calculation rule TC40. Instead, assign the appropriate specification to the overtime wage type.

Activities

  1. Decide whether the type of compensation should be determined by the wage type, the specifications in infotypes 2007, Attendance Quotas and 2005, Overtime, or if there should be no options at all for the wage type.
  2. Consider how you want to compensate overtime wage types and enter the appropriate specification in processing class 17.

Further notes

Overtime compensation is performed in the standard system using function POVT TC40 GEN and specifications A - F for processing class 17.

Alternatively, you can use the POVT TC20 GEN or POVT TC20 GEN function.

The TC20 personnel calculation rule updates the absence quota 02 in the case of compensation (time off) for overtime. It uses the UPDTQ operation, not the QUOTA function to do so. The prerequisite is that you have previously created a corresponding quota record manually.

The TC10 rule works in a similar way to TC20 for processing quotas, but interprets the numerical specifications of processing class 17. The main difference to specifications A through F is that the compensation factor is specified explicitly in the TC10 rule, not determined from the percentage rates of the wage type.
