In this step, you set rules for determining the total entitlement (base entitlement) to an absence quota type. The base entitlement forms the basis for calculating the prorated leave or absence entitlement for each accrual period.

If you determine the base entitlement according to the employee's age or seniority, you enter a constant expressed in days or hours.

If you use time evaluation to generate absence quotas, you can make the rule more specific. You may want to do this if the differentiation based on an employee's age or seniority is not sufficient for your purposes, or if you want to use other criteria to determine the base entitlement. You can do this by incorporating personnel calculation rules in the time evaluation schema. In the rules, you fill a special time type with the base entitlement according to the employee's organizational details or the results of time evaluation. You store the special time type, which the system reads in order to determine the entitlement, in this view.

If you want to vary the base entitlement according to age or seniority interval, you can distinguish between the various entitlements by numbering them sequentially.

The base entitlement is set for a specific period. You have three options for determining the base period:

  • According to employee-independent periods:
    The base period can relate to the calendar year, the time evaluation period, or an individually specified period in the Period Parameters table.
  • According to employee-dependent periods
    You can determine the base period according to the payroll period or a period relating to a date type from the Date Specifications infotype (0041).

    Using date specifications
    Some collective agreements and company agreements stipulate that the base entitlement must be determined in relation to the period of employment. They state that, after a base period, employees must receive the exact base entitlement. To comply with this requirement, you must use a date type.
    Example: You accrue entitlements on a daily basis. One employee joined your company on February 15, 2000, another employee on March 1, 2000. Both employees have a base entitlement of 20 days per year. After the employees have been with your company for exactly a year, the first employee's generated entitlement is slightly too high, the second employee's slightly too low, because of the leap year. The reason for this is that the following data was used as a basis for the calculation:
    • In 2000, because of the leap year, 366 days for 20 days' entitlement
    • In 2001, 365 days for 20 days' base entitlement

      Note: The differences in the amount of entitlement calculated are only relevant for the requirements mentioned above.

  • According to the accrual period
    In this case, the period over which you generate employee's quota entitlements is used as the base period (base period = accrual period).

Example

  1. You want to determine the base entitlement to an absence quota on the basis of your employees' seniority. New employees are entitled to 25 days. Employees who have been with the enterprise longer than two years get 27 days, and so on. Enter the relevant seniority interval in this view and specify a constant.
  2. You want to grade your employees' base entitlement according to their employee subgroup. In this case, you query the employee subgroup in a personnel calculation rule. Based on the result, you then fill a special time type with a value defined in the personnel calculation rule. You enter the time type in this view.

Requirements

You have set up the absence quota types you want to define for the base entitlement.

Standard settings

Recommendation

Activities

  1. Under Define base entitlement, determine the employee groupings for which you want to specify a base entitlement.
  2. Define a rule for the base entitlement
  3. Enter a sequential number if you want to create a number of different rules for determining the base entitlement according to the age or seniority interval
  4. If applicable, enter the age or seniority intervals to which you want the base entitlement to apply; the intervals are inclusive
    If you do not make any entries here, the base entitlement is determined independently of the employee's age or seniority
  5. Enter a constant for the base entitlement, or if you use time evaluation, a day or period balance from which the system can read the base entitlement
  6. Enter the base period; this is the period for which the base entitlement is valid
  7. If you want the base entitlement to be calculated during time evaluation, create the prerequisites: Use the Refine calculation of base entitlement activity to create a personnel calculation rule in which you specify the entitlement according to further organizational assignments, for example. Use the Adapt schema activity to insert the personnel calculation rule in your time evaluation schema before functions CUMBT and QUOTA.

Further notes

You can specify the key date as of which the change in seniority or age should be taken into account in the Define generation rules for quota selection step.
