Definition

Determines the calculation period when an employee leaves the company.

When an employee leaves the company, calculations of their payments are based on their last active period. However, if this checkbox is selected, calculations are instead based on the period in the Calculation Period field of the Calculation of Pay-out Amount screen area.

Use

If you select this checkbox, you apply the calculation period specified in the Calculation of Pay-out Amount screen area. The settings in the Calculation and Pay-out in case of Leaving screen area are not affected by the selection.

You can select this checkbox when the following criteria are met:

  • If the calculation is based on fixed values or constants, and not on wage types related to the salary (as the calculation takes place when the employee is not active).
  • If the employee's last active period occurs before the calculation period.

If you do not select the checkbox, the calculation settings in the Calculation and Pay-out in case of Leaving screen area apply and the calculation takes place in the last active period.

Note that it is not possible to select another calculation period than the last active period or the pay-out calculation period.

Dependencies

The use of this checkbox does not impact the payment method, however, it does impact the Pay-out Rule when Leaving Company and Number of Periods of Delay for Pay-out when Leaving Company fields.

Note that payroll for the departing employee must be run until the pay-out period. Therefore, you must also maintain the date in the Run Payroll up to field of the Payroll Status (0003) infotype.

Example

An employee leaves the company in February. Based on their performance, this employee is entitled to a bonus which is calculated in May. However, at the time of their departure, the final details of the company's bonus scheme are not finalized. Therefore, the calculation in the last active period of the employee is not applicable.

You select the Same Calculation Period as Normal Calculation Period checkbox to apply the same calculation period and settings as for a normal calculation. This ensures that payments are calculated in the correct period, in this case in May, when the bonus scheme is finalized.
