The shadow wage type can be defined for each input wage type for deferred compensation. This wage type is then used to save the conversion amount, which results from an input wage type in the DDC payroll function for deferred compensation, in the IT processing table.
The shadow wage types for input wage types enable you to continue managing the converted share of an input wage type as a "shadow" in payroll accounting, to reconstruct the influence of conversion through the corresponding wage type coding in specific processing steps. You can include shadow wage types in the income threshold of other company benefits, for example, or in the garnishment gross amount. The conversion of this input wage type would then be ignored for garnishment purposes, for example.
