Payroll India (PY-IN) Purpose This component enables the running of the payroll for all employees in line with Indian legal and business requirements. Implementation Considerations The SAP HR Payroll India component must be implemented in cooperation with project teams implementing other areas of SAPHuman Resources (HR), in particular SAP HR Personnel Administration. Integration The SAP HR Payroll India component integrates with other SAP HR components such as Personnel Administration and Personnel Time Management. There are interfaces to Financial Accounting and Controlling. You can run payroll using a combination of SAP and third-party products. Features The component uses data from other areas of SAP HR for calculating all statutory and non-statutory additions and deductions for your employees. SAP HR Payroll India offers a number of standard reports used in payroll, superannuation, leave, advance payments and taxation. In addition to the standard payroll functions, the payroll processing for India also comprises the following country-specific functions: Indirect Evaluation Basic Increments Dearness Allowance Housing Car and Conveyance Long Term Reimbursements

This function automatically recalculates payroll in the event of changes to master data and time data in periods for which payroll has already been completed.

Indirect Evaluation (INVAL) and 40ECS Feature Purpose Indirect Evaluation is a method to calculate the eligible amounts for some of the wage types. INVAL is the Indirect Evaluation Module used to meet the Indian specific business requirements. INVAL calculates the eligible amounts for certain wage types that are defaulted into the Basic Pay infotype (0008) or entered in the Recur. Payments/Deductions infotype (0014) and the Additional Payments infotype (0015). When you populate the Long term reimbursements infotype (0590), the infotype checks the INVAL amounts for eligibility. The Claims programs also check the INVAL amounts while processing claims. In addition to, or instead of, computing the eligibility as a currency value amount, INVAL can also calculate the eligibility in terms of numbers, if the

wage type has been configured accordingly. For example, an employee can be eligible for 50 liters of petrol. When you are populating the Basic Pay infotype (0008), the wage types get defaulted into the infotype depending on the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances of the employee. Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances determines the eligible wage types for the employee. For some of these wage types, which get defaulted into the Basic Pay infotype (0008), the eligible amounts also get defaulted. This happens due to Indirect Evaluation Module INVAL. For Recur. Payments/Deductions infotype (0014) and Additional Payments infotype (0015), if you enter an INVAL wage type, the eligible amount will get defaulted into the infotype. This is also due to Indirect Evaluation. In case of Basic Pay infotype (0008), Recur. Payments/Deductions infotype (0014) and Additional Payments infotype (0015), if you overwrite the Indirectly Evaluated amounts, the amounts entered by you are valid. In this case, the indicator for indirect evaluation will get cleared. Again, if you delete this overwritten amount, the default amount and the indicator for indirect evaluation will get selected. The INVAL amount for a default wage type for an employee may change in the middle of the year. In this case, you can check the eligibility amount on a particular date, by entering that date as the start date of the Indirect Evaluation field at the bottom of the Basic Pay infotype (0008). There are four module variants for INVAL: ... 1. A This calculates the value of the wage type as a fixed amount. 2. B This calculates the amount as a percentage of a base wage type added to a fixed amount. More than

one such amount, with same or different percentage of the base wage type, can be calculated for an INVAL wage type. In this case, the amount that will be Indirectly Evaluated will be the sum of all such calculated amounts, added to a fixed amount. For example, for the wage type M230, the different INVAL B amounts are: ... a. b. c. 10% of MB10 30% of M220 Fixed amount of Rs.1000

In this case, the INVAL amount for the wage type M230 will be the sum of a, b and c. 3. C This calculates the amount as a percentage of a base wage type subject to a maximum limit. More than one such amount, with same or different percentage of the base wage type, can be calculated for an INVAL wage type. In this case, the amount that will be Indirectly Evaluated will be the sum of all such calculated amounts, subject to a maximum limit. For example, for the wage type M230, the different INVAL C amounts are: ... a. b. c. 10% of MB10 30% of M220 Limit of Rs.5000

In this case, the INVAL amount for the wage type M230 will be the sum of a and b subject to a maximum of c. 4. D This calculates the amount as one or any combination of the following INVAL Module variants based on Basic salary slabs:

... a. Fixed amount b. Percentage of a base wage type added to a fixed amount c. Percentage of a base wage type subject to a maximum limit In the SAP system, INVAL D can be configured as only INVAL B or C. Once the percentage of the base wage type is calculated, the result is multiplied with a factor. This resultant amount is then added to fixed amount or is compared with a maximum limit. For example, the INVAL module variant for the wage type M210, for an employee who falls in the Basic Salary slab of Rs.10,000 12,000, is INVAL C. The INVAL amounts are: i. ii. iii. factor of 50% iv. Limit of Rs.7000 In this case, the INVAL amount for M210 for the employee is the sum of i and ii, multiplied by iii and the result is subject to a maximum of iv. If you want to configure the wage type as a fixed amount for a particular slab, the wage type is configured as INVAL B. In this case, the percentage of the base wage type is multiplied with the factor of 0% and then the fixed amount added to the result. For example, the INVAL module variant for the wage type M230, for an employee who falls in the Basic Salary slab of Rs.15,000 25,000, is INVAL B. The INVAL amounts are:
1.

10% of MB10 30% of M220 Multiplication

i.

100% of MB10

7 2.

ii. factor of 0% iii. of Rs.5000

Multiplication Fixed amount

3.

In this case, the INVAL amount for M230 for the employee is the value of (i), multiplied by (ii) and the result added to iii. In this case, the INVAL amount will be the fixed amount of Rs.5000. For defining INVAL D, instead of using only the Basic Salary to be compared with the salary slabs, you can use the user exit EXIT_SAPLHRPADINA1_006, available in the Enhancement HRINRAP5, to define additional wage types to be added to the Basic Salary. The sum of all these wage types can then be compared with the salary slabs for the computation of INVAL D. The base wage type in case of INVAL B, C or D may be the Basic Salary, the Dearness Allowance or/and any other wage type the employee is eligible for. Only those factors, which affect the compensation of the majority of employees are assigned to Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. There are some compensation factors that affect selected employees only. These compensation factors are not considered to define the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. These pay parameters are configured through the Feature to determine the eligibility for RAPs Feature (40ECS). Example of such parameters are, number of dependents, marital status, years of experience in the organization. Only the wage types that are Indirectly Evaluated can be further calculated using the 40ECS feature. This feature

determines the factor which is multiplied with the INVAL amount to arrive at the amount payable to the employee. For an employee, a wage type may be evaluated using INVAL. But the same wage type may be configured in the 40ECS Feature for the employee. In this case, the factor returned by the 40ECS Feature will be multiplied with the INVAL amount and the total will be defaulted into the respective infotypes. For example, an employee is eligible for a Leave Travel Allowance of Rs.24000 according to Indirect Evaluation. But you can configure the 40ECS feature, so that an employee who has children will get 25% extra for each child for a maximum of two children. Implementation Considerations If you want Indirect Evaluation for a wage type, you have to define it as a characteristic of the wage type. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Maintain Wage Type Characteristics. You have to maintain each INVAL wage type for a Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances in the IMG for Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Calculate Eligibility for RAPs. If you want the payroll to check the 40ECS Feature to determine the eligible amount for a particular wage type, you must configure the wage type in the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Calculate Eligibility for RAPs.

Integration In case of SAP GUI Defaulting and Indirect Evaluation for the Housing (HRA / CLA / COA) and Conveyance wage types happen only when

you populate and save the respective infotypes Housing (HRA / CLA / COA) infotype (0581) and Car & Conveyance infotype (0583). Features The important pay parameters that can be configured through the 40ECS feature are: Number of children for children education allowance Number of children for children hostel allowance

In case of these parameters, you also have to configure the relevant wage types in the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Calculate Eligibility for RAPs. In this table view, you must select Check for Ee characteristics in the Elig Check field. Whether a child is eligible for Child Education Allowance or for Child Hostel Allowance, or whether a dependent is eligible for any other allowance, is entered in the Family/Related Person infotype (0021). The 40ECS feature checks this infotype and accordingly calculates an eligibility amount for each of the allowances for each employee.

The other parameters that can be configured through the 40ECS feature are: Country Grouping Company Code Payscale Grouping for Allowances Wage Type Job Gender Key

10

Marital status key Region (State, Province, County) Personnel Number Start date

Constraints Indirect Evaluation requires that the base wage type, on which the evaluation of any other wage type depends, should have been evaluated previously. For example, wage types MB10 and M230 are evaluated indirectly and M230 is evaluated as a percentage of MB10. Then, it is required that MB10 be evaluated prior to M230 in the Basic Pay infotype (0008). Indirect Evaluation (INVAL) and 40ECS Feature Definition Purpose This process describes how to define Indirect Evaluation Module INVAL for the different INVAL Module variants. The process also describes how to use the 40ECS feature and to configure the INVAL wage types for this feature. Prerequisites ... You must have defined the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. You must have assigned the wage types to the wage type models in case of wage types to be defaulted in the Basic Pay infotype (0008).

Process Flow ...

11

1. You must define the characteristics for all the wage types. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Maintain Wage Type Characteristics. In this activity, if the wage type has to be Indirectly Evaluated, you must first assign INVAL in the Indirect eval.module field. Then, you must assign the Module variant for the wage type. 2. You must save your entries for the INVAL wage types. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Calculate Eligibility for RAPs. For Inval type A 3. You have to define the fixed amount for the wage type for each Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Maintain Pay Scale Groups and Levels under Payroll India. For Inval type B or C 4. You have to define the base wage types and the percentages for the wage types. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Maintain Valuation of Base Wage Types. 5. You have to define the fixed amount for INVAL B and the limit for INVAL C. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Calculate Eligibility for RAPs. The same field is used to define the fixed amount for INVAL B and the limit for INVAL C. But, for a wage type, whether to use the amount mentioned in the field as the fixed amount for INVAL B or the limit for INVAL C, will be decided by your configuration of the wage type in Step 1, above.

12

You have to maintain all INVAL wage types for a Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances in the IMG for Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Calculate Eligibility for RAPs. If the wage type is for the Recur. Payments/Deductions infotype (0014) or the Additional Payments infotype (0015), the wage type has to be entered and the corresponding details have to be maintained here. For INVAL type D 6. INVAL D is dependent on the Basic salary slab to which the employee belongs. You have to define the upper limit of each slab for the wage type for each Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. You also have to define whether the wage type is for Indirect Evaluation Module variant B or C, the fixed amount (in case of INVAL B) or the upper limit (incase of INVAL C), for the different salary slabs. You also have to define the multiplication factor for INVAL D. To define all of this, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Maintain Allowance Rules based on Slabs. 7. For wage type, if you want to change the basic salary slabs, you can delimit the wage type for a basic slab code. You can then create a new basic slab code for that wage type. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Calculate Eligibility for RAPs. Feature to determine the eligibility for RAPs (40ECS) 8. You can configure the 40ECS feature through the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Maintain Extra Eligibility Criteria for RAPs under Payroll.

13

9. The INVAL wage types that have to be modified by the 40ECS feature have to be configured. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Calculate Eligibility for RAPs. In this view, you must select Check for Ee characteristics in the Elig Check field. For details on how you have to set up each IMG activity, refer to the IMG documentation. Result When you populate the Basic Pay infotype (0008), the configured wage types will get defaulted, and those wage types configured for INVAL will also have their amounts defaulted. If you enter an INVAL wage type in the Recur. Payments/Deductions infotype (0014) or the Additional Payments infotype (0015), the amounts will get defaulted into the infotype. The wage types configured (in step 8 above) as Check for Ee characteristics in the Elig Check field, will be evaluated as configured in the 40ECS feature. Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances Purpose Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances defines groups of employees. Each of these groups share a set of characteristics, to which a standard set of rules can be applied. Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances determines the: Compensation structure applicable to an employee

14

Value of compensation for an employee Procedures for payroll processing

Determining the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances is the first step in the configuration of Payroll India. You cannot even define the wage types without defining Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. The Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances depends on certain pay parameters. The system provides you with the following pay parameters: ... 1. Employee subgroup grouping for Collective Agreement Provision (CAP) 2. 3. 4. 5. Pay scale area Pay scale type Pay scale group Pay scale level

For example, your company has branches in Mumbai, Delhi, Pune and Haldia. The city in which the branch is located, affects the compensation of the employees to a great extent. Here, you can assign the different cities to Pay scale area. Pay scale area then becomes one of the pay parameters to define Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. You should determine those factors, which affect the compensation of the majority of the employees. Only these important factors should be assigned to the pay parameters mentioned above. These pay parameters include, the location, the department, the grade of the employee. You should not assign those parameters to Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances that affect the compensation of selected employees only. For example, years of experience in the organization can be taken care of by other compensation

15

factors and it may not be necessary to assign it to a pay parameter. The other parameters, which affect the pay of selected employees, can be configured through the Feature to determine the eligibility for RAPs (40ECS). Some of these parameters are, number of dependents, marital status, years of experience in the organization. You can use all or any combination of any of the above pay parameters in determining the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances for your company. You can leave one or more pay parameters, out of the five mentioned above, unassigned. This is helpful if there is a change in your organization and there is another important factor on which the compensation of your employees depend. In this case, you can assign that factor to the unassigned parameter. For more than one combination of pay parameters, you can have a single Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. But for a single combination of pay parameters, you can have only one Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. For example, an employee, of a Managerial grade, is located in Mumbai and works in the Marketing department. He belongs to the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances, MN01. This employee can belong to only one Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances, MN01, can have two combinations of employees - first, as mentioned above, second, an employee who is of a Managerial grade, is located in Delhi and works in the Marketing department. Both sets of employees can be eligible for the same compensation structure. This is because, employees in Mumbai and Delhi, with the rest of the pay parameters same, may be eligible for the same compensation structure. In this case, if the employee, who is of a Managerial grade, works in the Marketing department but is located in Pune,

16

might belong to a different Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. Integration When you hire an employee, You enter the Employee Group and Employee Subgroup in Organizational Assignment infotype (0001). The employee automatically gets assigned to Employee subgroup grouping for Collective Agreement Provision (CAP). This is the result of the assignment of Employee subgroup grouping for Collective Agreement Provision (CAP) for each combination of Employee Group and Employee subgroup in the IMG under Personnel Management Personnel Administration Payroll Data Basic Pay Define EE Subgroup Grouping for PCR and Coll.Agrmt.Prov. You enter the Pay scale area, Pay scale type, Pay scale group, Pay scale level in the Basic Pay infotype (0008).

For an employee, when you enter the Employee Group and Employee Subgroup in Organizational Assignment infotype (0001), and Pay scale area, Pay scale type, Pay scale group, Pay scale level in the Basic Pay infotype (0008), the employee automatically gets assigned to a Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. This is a result of the assignment of the pay parameters to the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances in the IMG under Payroll India: Pay Scale Groupings Assign Pay Scale Groupings for Allowances. This is the first implementation to be done in IMG for Payroll India. Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances is not recorded in any of the infotypes. An employee cannot be

17

directly assigned to a Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. He or she can be assigned to a Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances only when he or she gets assigned to the five pay parameters mentioned above. But, you can check the output of the Initialization payroll India payroll function (ININI) from the payroll log for information on Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. Features Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances affects the following objects:

Basic - General Increments Report (HINIBSG0) Use This function is used to perform a batch update of increments in the Basic Salary wage type in the Basic Pay infotype (0008). Prerequisites You must have maintained the IMG activities under Payroll India Basic Salary for India. Activities ... 1. From SAP Easy Access menu, choose Human Resources Payroll Asia/Pacific India Utilities Basic General Increments. The Basic - General Increments report screen appears. 2. Enter the Personnel number and Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances of the employees to whom you want to give increments in the Basic Salary.

18

3. Enter the date from which the increment has to be effective. 4. 5. Enter the name of the batch session. Choose Program Execute.

6. The system conducts the following eligibility checks: a. The system checks the current Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances of the selected employees. If this Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances is not the same as that entered by you on the selection screen, the employee is rejected. b. The system checks whether the increment Effective Date entered by you on the selection screen falls in the last split of the Basic Pay infotype (0008). If it does not, the employee is rejected. c. Depending on the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances of the employee, the system reads the Basic Salary and Personal Pay wage types of the employee from the table view Basic Wages (V_T7INB1). The system reads the Basic Pay infotype (0008) for the current value of Basic Salary and Personal Pay wage types. d. Based on the current Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances of the employee, the system reads the Basic Code and the Method Type from the table view Basic Codes for Allowance Groups (V_T7INB5). e. Based on the Basic Code and the Method Type, the system reads the table view Basic Slabs (V_T7INB7) for the salary slab in which the basic pay of the employee falls.

19

f. If the current basic pay of the employee is the greater than or equal to the upper limit of the highest slab, the employee is rejected. g. If the current basic pay of the employee does not fall in any slab, the employee is rejected. h. If the Method Type is Increment by Amount, the system adds the increment amount to the current basic pay to compute the new current basic pay. i. If the Method Type is Increment by Percentage, the system reads the table view Basic Slabs (V_T7INB7) for the type of percentage method. Accordingly, the system calculates the new basic pay and adds it to the current basic pay to arrive at new current basic pay. 7. The list of employees eligible for the increment appears. 8. You have the following options on the output screen: a. Increment - Select this option to process the increment for all the eligible employees. The system creates a batch session. You can execute this batch session to update the Basic Pay infotype (0008). b. Ambiguous Cases - Select this option to display the ambiguous cases. For example, employees for whom the Effective Date that you have entered on the selection screen does not fall in the last split of the Basic Pay infotype (0008).

20

c. Errors - Select this option to display all error cases. For example, employees for whom the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances is not the same as the one that you have entered on the selection screen. The Ambiguous Cases and the Errors are for information only. d. Download - Select this option to download the results in the desired format. Dearness Allowance Purpose This component enables the computation of Dearness Allowance. Dearness Allowance is a non-statutory allowance that you pay to an employee on a monthly basis. The payment of this allowance relates to the changes in the cost of living in a particular location. The Dearness Allowance is related to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for a given location, and the state authorities generally revise the CPI on a quarterly basis. A change in employee status, such as a transfer or a promotion, may affect Dearness Allowance. The allowance consists of a fixed and a variable portion. For a non-management category, you generally call this component the Dearness Allowance. For a supervisory category, you may call it the Cost Of Living Allowance (COLA).

21

Integration DA forms a part of the salary basis for the other components of Payroll India. For example, the Dearness Allowance along with the basic salary typically forms the salary basis for computation of: Income Tax Gratuity Professional Tax Features Batch Program - DA (Report) (HINIDAB0) This report computes the Dearness Allowance for a selected range of employees and generates a batch program. Upon execution, the batch program updates the Basic Pay infotype (0008) of the employees. Dearness AllowanceComputations The standard SAP system provides the following methods for the computation of Dearness Allowance: 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 Non-Slab based calculation Basic slab based calculation Incremental basic slab based calculation CPI slab based calculation Incremental CPI slab based calculation

1 1 Basic slab based calculation, subject to minimum value You can configure the Dearness Allowance computation method through the IMG under Payroll India Dearness Allowance.

22

Housing Purpose This component helps you create and maintain information on the employee accommodation. You can also compute the exemptions and perquisites applicable on a housing benefit. Integration Income Tax During the computation of the annual exemptions and perquisites, the Income Tax functionality also includes the exemptions and perquisite wage types of the housing functionality.
1.

Basic Pay infotype (0008)

When you create or modify a housing record using the Housing(HRA / CLA / COA) infotype (0581), in case of SAP GUI, the system dynamically updates the Basic Pay infotype (0008) with the new or changed wage type for Housing. Features 1. The SAP system caters to the following categories of accommodation: Rented Accommodation In a Rented Accommodation, the employee receives a House Rent Allowance (HRA) to meet the expenses incurred by renting a residential accommodation. The system computes an exemption on the rented accommodation. 11 Company Leased Accommodation (CLA) In a CLA, the company leases an accommodation and provides it as a housing benefit to the employee. Employee eligibility towards CLA depends on the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances.

23

If an employee has a CLA benefit, the system will compute the perquisite applicable on the CLA. 11 Company Owned Accommodation (COA) In a COA, the company owns the accommodation and provides it as a housing benefit to the employee. Employee eligibility towards COA depends on the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. If an employee has a COA benefit, the system will compute the perquisite applicable on the COA. 11 Hotel Accommodation In this case, the employer provides a hotel accommodation to the employee. If the stay in the hotel exceeds a fixed period, as specified by the Government, a perquisite is applicable on the cost of accommodation. If you have specified a perkable hotel accommodation in the Housing (HRA / CLA / COA)infotype (0581), the system will compute a perquisite.

You can specify the Accommodation Type for an employee, and maintain the housing details using Housing (HRA / CLA / COA) infotype (0581). 1. If your company has provided furniture and helper(s) as a part of the accommodation, the system will compute the applicable perquisites.

1.

To create and process the different categories of accommodation, the SAP system provides a standard set of Accommodation Types. For example: Rented Accommodation Company Leased (Old) Perkable Hotel Accommodation

24

You have the option of creating your own Accommodation Types also. You can do so through the IMGunder Payroll India Housing Define Accommodation Types. 1. To process the Housing functionality, the system makes use of standard configurations. You can view these configurations using the following table views: Housing code for taxation (V_T7INR1) Housing related statutory constants for taxation (V_T7INR5) Codes for Housing Types (V_T7INR7) City category for housing type (V_T7INR9) SAP recommends that you do not change the default configurations of the tables listed above. 1. User Exits If you have created your own Accommodation Types, you must also specify the computation rules for these Accommodation Types. You may also need to define your own set of validations for the Housing (HRA / CLA / COA) infotype (0581). The Housing functionality provides the following user exits: EXIT_HINCALC0_005 User Exit in the Enhancement HRINHRA0 With the help of this user exit, you can define the computation methods for the Accommodation Types defined by you. Use this exit to determine all the housing related wage types during a payroll run, in particular the exemption and the perquisite wage types. To access this user exit through the IMG, choose Payroll India Housing User Exit: Determine Perk Value for Housing.

25

When you create your own Accommodation Types and specify their computation rules, you must ensure that you also specify the computation rules for the standard set of Accommodation Types. This is because the standard computation rules will no longer apply on the any Accommodation Type. EXIT_MP058100_007 User Exit in the Enhancement HRINHRA1 With the help of this user exit, you can define a customized set of validations, to be performed in the Housing (HRA / CLA / COA) infotype (0581).
11

If the system performs a standard set of validations on the infotype, it may result in the generation of error messages. Using this user exit, however, you can override any error messages resulting from standard validations performed on the infotype data. To access this user exit through the IMG, choose Payroll India Housing User Exit: Screen Validations for Housing infotype. Constraints In the SAP system, you can only maintain one Accommodation Type for an employee, at one point in time. For the same From Period, you cannot create Housing records in the Housing (HRA / CLA / COA) infotype (0581) that have two different Accommodation Types. See also: Housing - Exemptions and Perquisites

26

Exemptions and Perquisites on Housing Purpose This process describes the calculations performed by the SAP system, to compute the exemptions and perquisites on employee housing. Prerequisites Exemptions In the Housing(HRA / CLA / COA) infotype (0581), you have selected the: Accommodation Type as Rented Accomodation 11 The indicator for HRA to be tax exempt. 1. Perquisites In the Housing(HRA / CLA / COA) infotype (0581), the employee has one of the following as the Accommodation Type: Company Leased (OLD) Company Owned (OLD) Company Leased Company Owned Perkable Hotel Accomodation According to the IncomeTax act, the Accommodation Types - Company Leased (OLD) and Company Owned (OLD), are only valid for the period before 30th September 2001. You must therefore, use these Accommodation Types only if you are processing payroll for the period before 30th September 2001. Process Flow ...

27

... The Housing (HRA / CLA / COA ) India payroll function (P0581), checks the housing records of the employee in the Housing(HRA / CLA / COA) infotype (0581). It stores the data in the internal table HRA. The Housing(HRA / CLA / COA) Details payroll function (INHRA) reads the internal table HRA to compute the exemptions and perquisites on employee housing. The computations are mainly based on:
11 11

Accommodation Type Determines whether the system must compute an exemption or a perquisite City Category Determines the percentage of exemption or perquisite that is applicable on an Accommodation Type. For example, the percentage of exemption in case of a Metro is 50 percent, and for a Non-Metro, it is ten percent.

Exemptions The Housing(HRA / CLA / COA) Details payroll function (INHRA) takes the minimum of a, b and c, as the exemption amount: The HRA basis wage type (/114) Actual Rent Paid Rent Paid minus ten percent of the HRA basis Perquisites (CLA, COA and Perkable Hotel Accommodation)

28

The Housing(HRA / CLA / COA) Details payroll function (INHRA) computes housing perquisite as: Perquisite basis =
11

Perquisite basis (YTD)+ /115 + (/115 * projection) And (/134 - /133) * No. of Months (CLA/COA) Divided by Total No. of Months Where, /115 is the COA/CLA Basis wage type, generated by the rule INCLA (/115 = /124 - /132). It stores the basis for COA, CLA, and Perkable Hotel Accommodation. /134 is the Annual Non-perk amounts wage type /133 is the Annual Exemptions wage type 11 The Housing(HRA / CLA / COA) Details payroll function (INHRA) also checks the table view Percentage/amount for housing related constant (V_T7INR3) for the percentage of perquisite applicable on perquisite basis.

There may be a difference between the eligibility of the employee towards CLA/COA and the actual rental costs. The Housing(HRA / CLA / COA) Details payroll function (INHRA) will process this difference in amount as per the configurations in the COA/CLA Delta Treatment constant (CADTR). For more information, see Payroll India Housing Maintain the processing options for CLA
11

After computing the perquisite, the Housing(HRA / CLA / COA) Details payroll function (INHRA) generates the Perk value:housing wage type (/3RB).

Car and Conveyance Exemption and Perk Calculation for Car and Conveyance Long Term Reimbursements Purpose Long term reimbursements are benefits provided to the employees over a fixed period of years. The duration of the benefit generally varies between three to five years. In the SAP system, you can categorize Long Term Reimbursements into the following: Hard Furnishing Scheme This is a benefit provided to employees for the purpose of acquiring movable capital items like furniture, fridge, washing machine, television, and computer. Soft Furnishing Scheme or Other Reimbursements This is a benefit provided to employees for the purpose of acquiring consumer capital items like carpets and curtains. Car Maintenance Scheme This is a benefit provided to employees for the purpose of maintenance of their car over a period of time. Features Long Term Reimbursements infotype (0590) You can maintain the Long Term Reimbursement claimed by the employees in this infotype and under one of the following subtypes: Subtype SHFS For maintaining details on the hard furnishing schemes Subtype SSFS - For maintaining details on the soft furnishing schemes

43

Subtype SCAR For maintaining details on the car maintenance schemes For more information, refer to Long Term Reimbursements infotype (0590).
1.

Duration Companies assign a fixed period to long term reimbursements. This period is generally for three years or five years. You can configure the duration of a Long Term Reimbursement using the Determine block of years for Long term reimbursements feature (40LTR). To do so, go to the IMG under Payroll India Long Term Reimbursements Maintain block of years for Long Term Reimbursements.

The duration of a long term reimbursements can be for a: Fixed block of years, and having a fixed end date The begin date would be from the date on which the employee acquires the asset. For a particular reimbursement however, the End Date is already fixed in the system. Currently, this type of duration is applicable on Hard Furnishing schemes. You define the number of years in a block, and fixed End date of a block using the Determine block of years for Long term reimbursements feature (40LTR).

Variable block of years Here you specify the begin date of a soft furnishing scheme, and the duration will be for a fixed block of years, starting from this begin date. This type of duration is applicable on Soft Furnishing schemes. The Determine block of years for Long term reimbursements feature (40LTR) returns the value for the duration of the soft furnishing scheme. Fixed block of years divided into smaller blocks The duration of the reimbursement is for a fixed block, and you in

44

turn divide the block into smaller sub blocks or smaller validity periods. For every validity period, you define the eligible amount and the number of times that the employee can claim the long term reimbursement. This type of duration is applicable on the Car Maintenance scheme. For example, an employee is eligible to a Car Maintenance Allowance of Rs.15,000 for a block of 3 years. The employee can claim a maximum of Rs.5,000 every year. Within a year, the employee can submit a claim only twice. The Determine block of years for Long term reimbursements feature (40LTR) returns the value for the validity period of the main block. The Feature to determine the eligibility for RAPs feature (40ECS) returns the Begin Date and End Date for the sub blocks. It also returns the eligible amount and the number of times than an employee can make a claim in a sub block. For every sub block, you must configure the Begin Date and End Date, the eligible amount, and the limit on the number of times an employee can make a claim. To do so, you must create your own program, and then specify the name of this program (against the wage type for Car Maintenance Scheme) in the Feature to determine the eligibility for RAPs feature (40ECS). If you have any other schemes with a disbursement type distributed over a block on n validity periods, you can create them using your own program and specifying the name of the program in the Feature to determine the eligibility for RAPs feature (40ECS). You can create your own subtype (Z***) through the table view Subtype Characteristics (V_T591A).

1.

Eligibility Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances determines the eligibility of an employee towards a particular type of long term reimbursement. An employee may become eligible for a particular long term reimbursement at the time of joining, or with a promotion. In the standard SAP system, the eligible amount is indicated by the HFS eligibility wage type (M213). The eligibility for this wage type is handled through Indirect Evaluation. In the case of a Hard Furnishing Scheme, if an employee joins your company after the start of a reimbursement block period, the system will prorate the eligible amount for the remaining block period. If the employee however, becomes eligible for a particular reimbursement because of a promotion, the system does not prorate the amount for the remaining period. The employee is eligible to the entire amount.

1.

Perquisite There is a perquisite value attached to the various long term reimbursements that you offer to an employee, and the Calculate Hard Furnishing Perk Value payroll function (INHFS) calculates applicable tax on this perquisite value. Hard Furnishing Scheme The authorities specify a fixed percentage as the perquisite value applicable on the assets availed by the employee during a financial year. This value is stored in the Calculate Hard Furnishing Perk Value constant (HFPRC) of the table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K). Soft Furnishing Scheme The system calculates perquisite value for the assets that an employee availed in the current financial year based on the perquisite percentage that you maintain in the Long Term Reimbursements infotype (590), subtype SSFS.

46

Car Maintenance Scheme There is no perquisite value associated with the Car Maintenance Scheme, or other similar maintenance schemes that you create. See also: 1. Long Term Reimbursements infotype (590)

Pay Scale Groupings for Allowances Indirect Evaluation

Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances Purpose Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances defines groups of employees. Each of these groups share a set of characteristics, to which a standard set of rules can be applied. Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances determines the: Compensation structure applicable to an employee Value of compensation for an employee Procedures for payroll processing

Determining the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances is the first step in the configuration of Payroll India. You cannot even define the wage types without defining Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. The Pay Scale Grouping for Allowancesdepends on certain pay parameters. The system provides you with the following pay parameters: ... 1. Employee subgroup grouping for Collective Agreement Provision (CAP) 2. 3. Pay scale area Pay scale type

47

4. 5.

Pay scale group Pay scale level

For example, your company has branches in Mumbai, Delhi, Pune and Haldia. The city in which the branch is located, affects the compensation of the employees to a great extent. Here, you can assign the different cities to Pay scale area. Pay scale area then becomes one of the pay parameters to define Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. You should determine those factors, which affect the compensation of the majority of the employees. Only these important factors should be assigned to the pay parameters mentioned above. These pay parameters include, the location, the department, the grade of the employee. You should not assign those parameters to Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances that affect the compensation of selected employees only. For example, years of experience in the organization can be taken care of by other compensation factors and it may not be necessary to assign it to a pay parameter. The other parameters, which affect the pay of selected employees, can be configured through the Feature to determine the eligibility for RAPs (40ECS). Some of these parameters are, number of dependents, marital status, years of experience in the organization. You can use all or any combination of any of the above pay parameters in determining the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances for your company. You can leave one or more pay parameters, out of the five mentioned above, unassigned. This is helpful if there is a change in your organization and there is another important factor on which the compensation of your employees depend. In this case, you can assign that factor to the unassigned parameter. For more than one combination of pay parameters, you can have a single Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. But for a

48

single combination of pay parameters, you can have only one Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. For example, an employee, of a Managerial grade, is located in Mumbai and works in the Marketing department. He belongs to the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances, MN01. This employee can belong to only one Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances, MN01, can have two combinations of employees - first, as mentioned above, second, an employee who is of a Managerial grade, is located in Delhi and works in the Marketing department. Both sets of employees can be eligible for the same compensation structure. This is because, employees in Mumbai and Delhi, with the rest of the pay parameters same, may be eligible for the same compensation structure. In this case, if the employee, who is of a Managerial grade, works in the Marketing department but is located in Pune, might belong to a different Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. Integration When you hire an employee, You enter the Employee Group and Employee Subgroup in Organizational Assignment infotype (0001). The employee automatically gets assigned to Employee subgroup grouping for Collective Agreement Provision (CAP). This is the result of the assignment of Employee subgroup grouping for Collective Agreement Provision (CAP) for each combination of Employee Group and Employee subgroup in the IMG under Personnel Management Personnel Administration Payroll Data Basic Pay Define EE Subgroup Grouping for PCR and Coll.Agrmt.Prov.

49

You enter the Pay scale area, Pay scale type, Pay scale group, Pay scale level in the Basic Pay infotype (0008).

For an employee, when you enter the Employee Group and Employee Subgroup in Organizational Assignment infotype (0001), and Pay scale area, Pay scale type, Pay scale group, Pay scale level in the Basic Pay infotype (0008), the employee automatically gets assigned to a Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. This is a result of the assignment of the pay parameters to the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances in the IMG under Payroll India: Pay Scale Groupings Assign Pay Scale Groupings for Allowances. This is the first implementation to be done in IMG for Payroll India. Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances is not recorded in any of the infotypes. An employee cannot be directly assigned to a Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. He or she can be assigned to a Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances only when he or she gets assigned to the five pay parameters mentioned above. But, you can check the output of the Initialization payroll India payroll function (ININI) from the payroll log for information on Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. Features Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances affects the following objects: ... 1. Default Wage Types You can maintain the default wage types for an employee through the IMG under Payroll India:

50

Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Maintain Default Wage Types for Basic Pay. When an employee gets assigned to a Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances, the default wage types maintained for that Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances can get defaulted into the Basic Pay infotype (0008) for that employee. 2. Recur. Payments/Deductions infotype (0014) and Additional Payments infotype (0015) If you enter an Indirect Evaluation wage type, using the Indirect Evaluation Module INVAL, in the Recur. Payments/Deductions infotype (0014) or the Additional Payments infotype (0015), the wage type has to be defined for the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances to which this employee belongs. To define this, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Pay Scale Groupings Calculate Eligibility for RAPs. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances Definition Purpose This process describes how to define Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances and assign pay parameters and default wage types to it. Process Flow ... 1. You must define the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. To do so, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Pay Scale Groupings Define Pay Scale Groupings for Allowances. 2. You must assign the pay parameters to the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances defined by you in the previous step. To do so, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Pay Scale Groupings Assign Pay Scale Groupings for Allowances. 3. You must assign a wage type model for each Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances defined by you. To do so, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Assign Wage Type Model for Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. Here, you define the Wage Type models as well as assign them to the allowance groupings. You can assign only one Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances to a Wage Type model and vice versa. 4. For each wage type model defined, you must assign the wage types to be defaulted into the Basic Pay infotype (0008). To do so, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Maintain Default Wage Types for Basic Pay.

52

5. You must save all the default INVAL wage types. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Calculate Eligibility for RAPs. Also, here you must enter the wage types that also have to be Indirectly Evaluated for other infotypes, like the Recur. Payments/Deductions infotype (0014) and the Additional Payments infotype (0015). For further details on setting up each IMG activity, refer to the IMG documentation. Result You have defined the Pay Scale Groupings for Allowances for your company. You have also defined the wage types to be defaulted in the Basic Pay infotype (0008) for all employees who belong to one of the Pay Scale Groupings for Allowances. Some of these wage types can be Indirectly Evaluated using the Indirect Evaluation Module INVAL. Indirect Evaluation defines the actual amounts for each wage type that the employee is eligible for according to his or her Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. See also: Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances Claims Purpose This component enables the processing of claims submitted by an employee. Employees are eligible for certain monetary and nonmonetary benefits, as a part of their compensation package. Employees submit a claim based on their eligibility, to avail these benefits.

53

Reimbursement allowances can be of the following types: Amount (monetary) Monetary claims are reimbursements against a particular eligibility amount. For example, a medical reimbursement, subject to a maximum amount of Rs.15,000/-, in a given assessment year. Unit or a number (non-monetary) Non-monetary claims are those claims that an employee typically makes for the purpose of company work. Claims of non-monetary nature are made in whole units. For example, protective clothing, briefcases, calculators, and number of litres of petrol. Claims of non-monetary nature are made in whole units. Amount, subject to a number limit on the number of times that you can claim the allowance For example, a stitching allowance eligibility of Rs.1000/- per financial year, for which the employee can submit a claim only twice in that financial year. Slab based claims Some types of reimbursements have a validity period that is greater than a year, and are called Long Term Reimbursements. In this case, the employee is eligible to a certain amount, and you pay this amount to the employee across several financial years. The validity period of such reimbursements can be either a fixed block of years, or may be dependent upon some event or action. For example, an employee is eligible for a car maintenance allowance with a validity period of four years. The validity period starts from the date of purchase of the car. For the first and second year, the employee is eligible for a car maintenance allowance of Rs.5000. In the third year, the eligibility is Rs.7,500 and in the fourth year, the eligibility is Rs,10,000.

54

You maintain slab based claims using the Long term reimbursements infotype (0590). For more information, refer to Long Term Reimbursements. While submitting a claim, an employee must also submit a proof of expense (monetary benefit), or a proof of entitlement (non-monetary benefit). Some reimbursable allowances are exempt from tax for a certain limit. The employee can claim the tax exemption by submitting a proof of expense or a proof of entitlement. Features Reimbursement for Employees transaction (PC00_M40_REMP) You can process claims using the Reimbursement for Employees transaction (PC00_M40_REMP). In this transaction, you can disburse claims through a: Regular payroll run The system updates the Additional Payments infotype (0015) with the information that you enter in this report, and disburses the claim along with the regular payroll. Off-cycle payroll run The system updates the One-Time Payments Off-Cycle infotype (0267) with the information that you enter in this report. The approved claims can be disbursed through an off cycle payment process. For example, claims may be disbursed on the same day, or all claims submitted during the week may be disbursed on one particular day of the week. Processing of Claims The Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances determines the Reimbursement Types for which an employee is eligible. You define the different Reimbursement Types through Tax Codes.

55

For more information, on Tax Code configuration, refer to the IMG under Payroll India Tax Tax Liability on Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Assign Tax Code Limits to Wage Types. The following criteria determine the processing of a claim: Eligibility The system determines whether an employee is eligible for a particular reimbursement or not, using Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. A reimbursement can be either monetary or non-monetary in nature. If the reimbursement is: Monetary in nature, the system determines employee eligibility through the Indirect Evaluation of a particular Reimbursement Type. If an Individual Reimbursements infotype (0589) exists for an employee, the system will determine the eligibility for that employee using the infotype instead of through Indirect Evaluation. You can also restrict the number of times that a claim is made within a validity period. If there is a change in the eligible amount for the employee, the system prorates the same accordingly. For more information, refer to Indirect Evaluation.

Non-monetary in nature, the system determines employee eligibility using Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. If an Individual Reimbursements infotype (0589) exists for an employee, the system will determine the eligibility for that employee using the infotype instead of through Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. You can configure the eligibility for the non-monetary reimbursements in the RAP no field of the table view Reimbursement Allowances Perks - eligibility and calculations (V_T7INA9). If there is a change in the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances of the employee, the system prorates the

56

employee eligibility to a rounded up value, as per configurations. Monetary in nature, but with a limit on the number of times the employee can make a claim. The system determines the eligibility through a combination of Indirect Evaluation (monetary) and Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances (nonmonetary). If you want to configure your own eligibility criteria, you may do so through the user exits provided in the system. For more information, refer to the IMG under Payroll India Reimbursements Allowances and Perks User Exit: Save and Retrieve Claims Data. For more information, refer to Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances. Validity Period You can configure the validity period of a reimbursement through Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances and Reimbursement Types. For a Reimbursement Type, you can define different kinds of validity periods, such as monthly, quarterly, semi annually, or annually. For more information on configuring reimbursement wage types, and specifying their validity periods, refer to the IMGactivity under Payroll India Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Calculate Eligibility for RAPs. Period end treatment At the end of the validity period of a particular Reimbursement Type, you can configure the system to treat the unclaimed balances in the following ways: Balance disbursement The system pays the unclaimed balance to the employee. Balance carry forward The system carries forward the unclaimed balance across one or more validity periods.

57

Lapse The system neither disburses the unclaimed balances of a validity period, nor does it carry it forward to the next validity period. For more information, see Period End Treatment of Claims. Reports You can generate the following reports using the Claims functionality: Status for Claims report (HINCREMS) To check the balance and the status of claims made by employees. Claims Carry Forward Balance report (HINCREMC) To carry forward the unclaimed balances for a reimbursement wage type. You can run this report only once during validity period and it is advisable that you run it at the end of the validity period. Claims Balance Disbursement report (HINCREMT) To disburse the balance at the end of the validity period. Claims Balance upload program (HINUUPCF) To upload employee Claim status/balance from a local database file into the SAP system. You typically use this report to upload Claims Balance information from a legacy system. In the event of your company going live in the middle of the financial year, or if there are any carry forward balances that need to be carried forward to the year of going live, you can use this report and upload the data. For example, you are going live on 1st April, and there are balances of the Medical reimbursements for the previous financial year, which needs to be carried forward into the current year. You can upload this legacy information into the SAP system using the Claims Balance upload program (HINUUPCF).

Bonus Purpose This component enables the processing of employee bonus. You can compute both regular and off-cycle bonus. Integration Additional Payments infotype (0015) The SAP system updates this infotype after a regular bonus computation. Additional Off-Cycle Payments infotype (0267) for off-cycle bonus The SAP system updates this infotype after an off-cycle bonus computation. Features India specific Bonus calculation report (HINCBON0) This report computes the employee bonus. You have the option of computing bonus: As per the Payment of Bonus Act On a monthly salary basis or an annual salary basis For ex-employees As a regular bonus or an off-cycle bonus or both Off-Cycle Taxation When the bonus is as an off-cycle payment, the SAP system will compute the applicable Tax Deduction at Source (TDS). The Income Tax Deduction at Source for OffCycle Bonus Payment payroll function (INBTD) determines the rate of Tax Deduction at Source (TDS)

60

for an off-cycle bonus. This function has the following parameters: Param 1 - Determines the TDS computation method. Param 1 can have the following values: ... BON1 Tax at a standard company wide rate BON2 Tax before bonus payment and at the marginal rate of tax, for individual employees. It is exclusive of surcharge. BON3 Tax before bonus payment and at the marginal rate of tax, for individual employees. It is inclusive of surcharge. BON4 Tax after bonus payment and at the marginal rate of tax, for individual employees. It is exclusive of surcharge. BON5 Tax after bonus payment and at the marginal rate of tax, for individual employees. It is exclusive of surcharge. Param 2 - Determines the Tax Code for bonus. The standard SAP system has the Tax Code for Bonus as SBON. You can maintain your own tax code for Bonus through the table view Taxability of wage types (V_T7INT9). For an off-cycle bonus, you also have the option of maintaining your own tax rates. To do so, go to the IMG under Payroll India Bonus User Exit: Determine Income Tax Rate on Bonus Paid through Off Cycle. For more information see, Off-Cycle Activities. Off-Cycle Activities (PY-XX-OC)

61

Purpose As an addition to regular payroll, which carries out payroll at fixed regular intervals, this function enables you to carry out specific off-cycle payroll activities for individual employees on any day. You can issue a check to replace payments that were originally made to an employee by check or by transfer but which the employee did not receive, or if the check is in an unusable condition (for example, torn). You can reverse payroll results that were created by a regular or off-cycle payroll run. You can enter a check number into the system retrospectively for a payroll result for which you have already issued a check manually. Implementation Considerations To implement the Off-Cycle Activities component, you must edit the Off-Cycle Activities section in Customizing for Payroll. In the standard system, administrators that use the Off-Cycle Workbench have all authorizations for the whole transaction. To restrict authorizations, refer to the authorization object P_OCWBENCH. For example, you can give one administrator authorization to carry out off-cycle payroll runs. You can give another administrator the authorization to reverse payroll results. For more information on authorization maintenance, refer to Users and Roles (BC-SEC-USR).

62

Features The Off-Cycle Activities component comprises the following areas: Off-Cycle Workbench This provides a uniform user interface for all offcycle activities. Off-Cycle Subsequent Processing Once you have performed a function in the OffCycle Workbench, the process still has to be completed. Depending on the function that you have executed, the system still has to carry out various subsequent activities. For example, following an off-cycle payroll run, a remuneration statement must be issued. Off-Cycle Workbench The Off-Cycle Workbench offers the following functions: Off-Cycle payroll The types of payroll run that you can carry out depend on the settings made in Customizing. You can make a bonus payment to an employee for a special occasion. You can carry out an immediate correction run if, for example, an employees master data was changed. You can carry out a regular on demand payroll run for an individual employee independently of the payroll area. This is necessary, for example, if an

63

employee was hired shortly before the payroll date and his or her data could not be entered on time. You can run payroll for several periods in advance, if, for example, an employee is to leave the company or wants to take leave and is to receive payment for these periods immediately. You can pay an absence, such as leave, in advance. You can process payments that you have created in the Payroll Results Adjustment infotype (0221). Replace a payment that was made to, but not received by an employee. Reverse a payroll result Assign at a later date the number of a check - that was issued manually - to the relevant payroll result. Off-Cycle Subsequent Processing Depending on the country, off-cycle subsequent processing is carried out using one or several batch reports. The reports are located in the Off-Cycle menu. When you start the report, you specify on the selection screen the process model that you have created for off-cycle subsequent processing. You use the process model to specify which subsequent programs the system should run, and in which order they should be run. The type of subsequent processing varies, depending on whether an off-cycle payroll result, a payment replacement, or a reversal is to be further processed. Constraints

64

Off-Cycle Activities are not available in all country versions. In some countries that implement the component not all of the functions outlined here are available.

Income Tax Purpose This component computes tax on the income received by an employee for a financial year. Income of an employee may consist of all or any of the following components: Regular Income - This is that part of the salary, which an employee receives every month and is projected for the entire financial year. For example, Basic Pay, House Rent Allowance, Conveyance Allowance. Monthly regular income - Mon Reg Income wage type (/124). This wage type is the cumulation of the values of all the wage types for which you have configured the Cumulation Class as 24. Annual regular income - Ann Reg Income wage type (/410) The value of Ann Reg Income wage type (/410) is the sum of: Value of Mon Reg Income wage type (/124) in the Cumulative Results Table Value of Mon Reg Income wage type (/124) for the current period Value of Mon Reg Income wage type (/124) for the current period, multiplied by the value of Projection Factor wage type (/401)

65

Value of the Projection Factor wage type (/401) is the number of remaining periods that payroll has to be run in the current financial year, for the employee. The projection of the remaining periods can be until the end of the financial year or until the employee is terminated or the retirement date of the employee, whichever is the earliest. System projects the annual regular income using either Actual Basis or Nominal Basis. The system by default uses Actual Basis to project annual regular income. You can access this from the IMG for Payroll India: Tax Maintain Annual Taxable Income. We recommend that you use a single tax calculation method, either Actual Basis or Nominal Basis throughout the financial year, to project the annual regular income. Irregular Income - This is that part of the salary, which an employee receives for a particular period and is not projected for the entire financial year. For example, Leave Travel Allowance, Bonus. Monthly irregular income - Mon Irr Income wage type (/125). This wage type is the cumulation of the values of all the wage types for which you have configured the Cumulation Class as 25. Annual irregular income - Ann Irr Income wage type (/411) The value of Ann Irr Income wage type (/411) is the sum of: ... Value of Mon Irr Income wage type (/125) in the Cumulative Results Table

66

Value of Mon Irr Income wage type (/125) for the current period Perquisite - Example, Housing Perk, Loan Interest Advantage. Annual Perk wage type (/127) Annual Perk wage type (/413) The value of Annual Perk wage type (/413) is equal to the value of Annual Perk wage type (/127). Previous Employment Salary Prev Gross salary wage type (/4V1) Val of perk u/s 17(2) wage type (/4VJ) Profts wrt sal u/s 17(3) wage type (/4VK) These values are captured directly through the Previous Employment Tax Details infotype (0580). In case you have configured Multiple Form 16, these values are automatically captured in the system when an employee gets transferred from one group of the company to another group in a financial year. Income from Other Sources Any other Income wage type (/131) This includes the income captured through Income From Other Sources infotype (0584) Other Sources subtype (0002), and the profit and loss from House Property. Implementation Considerations SAP provides you with the following configurations: The slab codes are defined in the table view Slab Codes for Taxation (V_T7INT1) for a financial year/years. The different taxation slabs for the tax codes are defined in the table view Taxation Slabs (V_T7INT3). These are legal settings and you cannot modify them.

67

Integration India Income Tax computations payroll function (INTAX) computes the tax on the income received by an employee for a financial year. Features The system calculates the income tax for an employee after taking into consideration the following: Exemption Medical Exemption - Exm.under pro.to sec17(2) wage type (/414) Section 10 Exemptions - Exemption U/S 10 wage type (/130) The value of Exemption U/S 10 wage type (/130) is the sum of the values of:

CEA Annual Exemption wage type (/4E1) - Exemption on Child Education Allowance CHA Annual Exemption wage type (/4E2) - Exemption on Child Hostel Allowance Conveyance Annual Exempt wage type (/4E3) Conveyance Exemption HRA Annual Exemption wage type (/4E4) - Exemption on House Rent Allowance LTA Annual Exemption wage type (/4E5) - Exemption on Leave Travel Allowance Prev exemp u/s10 wage type (/4V2) - Previous Employment Exemptions Voluntary Ret. Exemption wage type (/4E6) - Exemption on Voluntary Retirement Leave Salary Exemption wage type (/4E7) - Leave Exemption Allowance Gratuity Cont. Exemption wage type (/4E8) - Gratuity Exemption

68

In addition to these wage types, you can define your own annual exemptions for allowances and reimbursements using the General Payroll function for Allowance/Reimbursement Treatment (INCTX). Deduction Aggregate Deduction - Aggrg Deduction wage type (/424) ... The value of Aggrg Deduction wage type (/424) is the equal to the value of Empmnt tax (Prof Tax) wage type (/422) Professional Tax. Empmnt tax (Prof Tax) wage type (/422) includes the value of Prev prof. tax paid wage type (/4V3). Chapter VI Section 80 Deductions - Agg of Chapter VI wage type (/432) Relief Section 89(1) Relief - Sec 89 relief wage type (/451) The system also takes into consideration the following components of tax while processing income tax for an employee: Surcharge on Income Tax Surcharge of 10% is applicable on Tax payable wage type (/446) if the value of the Total Income wage type (/434) is greater than INR 10,00,000. The total income tax (including surcharge), that is, the value of Tax payable and surcharge wage type (/450) cannot exceed the sum of: Income tax on INR 10,00,000

69

Amount of income that exceeds INR 10,00,000, which is the difference between the value of Total Income wage type (/434) and INR 10,00,000.

Example Education Cess All employees have to pay an education cess of 2%. Education cess is calculated as 2% of the sum of tax payable and surcharge. The India Income Tax computations payroll function (INTAX) calculates and stores the amount of education cess in the Education Cess wage type (/449). The value of /449 = 2% (/446 + /448). Voluntary Tax An employee can choose to pay certain amount of tax, which is not based on any other component. The Voluntary tax deduction rule (INVT) calculates this Voluntary Tax. The system provides you with three options for voluntary tax deduction: Deduction of an additional tax amount in a period without changing the annual tax deduction amount. The value of Income Tax wage type (/460), calculated for the period by India Income Tax computations payroll function (INTAX), is increased by this additional amount. This additional tax that is deducted in a particular period is adjusted in the following payroll periods. You have been provided with the model wage type Voluntary Tax (MVT0) for this purpose.

70

Deduction of a fixed tax amount in a period without changing the annual tax deduction amount. The value of Income Tax wage type (/460), calculated for the period by India Income Tax computations payroll function (INTAX), is replaced by this fixed amount. Tax deduction in the following periods is adjusted accordingly. You have been provided with the model wage type Voluntary Tax (MVT1) for this purpose. Deduction of a fixed amount of voluntary tax over the annual tax liability. The Voluntary tax deduction rule (INVT) generates the Additional Voluntary Tax wage type (/462) for this fixed amount. The value of Income Tax wage type (/460), calculated for the period by India Income Tax computations payroll function (INTAX), is increased by the value of Additional Voluntary Tax wage type (/462). This additional tax that is deducted is not adjusted in the following periods of the financial year. The total tax deducted in the year is increased by this fixed amount of voluntary tax. You have been provided with the model wage type Voluntary Tax (MVT2) for this purpose. Tax on Arrears

Tax on Bonus The system allows you to generate the following tax reports: Form 16 Form 24 See also: Previous Employment Tax Details

Previous Employment Tax Details Purpose This component provides for the computation of:

71

Tax in the current financial year, by capturing the salary, exemption, contribution, deduction details of the employee pertaining to the previous employments in the current financial year. Tax exemption when the employee separates from the current employment, by capturing certain lifetime exemptions from all previous employers. Integration You must create a Previous Employment Tax Details infotype (0580) record For an employee, whenever a new employee joins your organisation For all employees who have joined your organisation in the past from some other employment, when you are going live with the SAP System. The Previous Employment Tax Details payroll function (P0580) reads the Previous Employment Tax Details infotype (0580) and populates the details in the internal table PET. The value entered as the number of times the employee has claimed LTA exemptions, gets stored in the PET internal table as LTAEX field. This LTAEX field indicates the number of times the employee has claimed LTA Exemption with his previous employers for the current block of four years. When you create an Exemptions infotype (0582) LTA subtype record for an employee, the system will check the LTAEX field to see if the employee has claimed an LTA Exemption for this block of four years in his or her previous employment. The indicator for whether the employee has carried forward an LTA claim from the previous block of four years, gets stored in the PET internal table as a checkbox. This indicates whether an LTA Exemption has been carried forward for the

72

employee from the previous block of four years pertaining to his or her previous employers. If you create an Exemptions infotype (0582) LTA subtype record for an employee in the first year of the new block of four years, the system will check the PET internal table to see if the checkbox has been selected or not. If the checkbox has been selected, the exemption granted will be against the carried forward LTA Exemption from the previous block of four years. Previous Employment Tax Details payroll function (INPET) processes the internal table PET and generates the following wage types: ... Prev Gross salarywage type (/4V1) - This wage type stores the amount entered as the salary as per provisions under section 17(1). The amount in Prev Gross salary wage type (/4V1) is added to the current Gross Salary wage type (/416). Val of perk u/s 17(2)wage type (/4VJ) - This wage type stores the amount entered as the value of perquisites under section 17(2). The amount in Val of perk u/s 17(2) wage type (/4VJ) is added to the currentGross Salary wage type (/416). Profts wrt sal u/s 17(3) wage type (/4VK) - This wage type stores the amount entered as the profits in lieu of salary under section 17(3). The amount in Profts wrt sal u/s 17(3) wage type (/4VK) is added to the current Gross Salary wage type (/416). Prev exemp u/s10wage type (/4V2) - This wage type stores the amount entered as the exemptions under section 10. The amount in Prev exemp u/s10 wage type (/4V2) is added to the current Section 10 exemption wage type (/130).

73

Prev prof. tax paidwage type (/4V3) - This wage type stores the amount entered as the Professional Tax. The amount in Prev prof. tax paid wage type (/4V3) is added to the Professional Tax annual deduction wage type (/422). Prev PF contributedwage type (/4V4) - This wage type stores the amount entered as the Provident Fund. The amount in Prev PF contributed wage type (/4V4) is added to the Annual Provident Fund contribution wage type (/3F6). Prev Tax Deductedwage type (/4V5) - This wage type stores the amount entered as the total Income Tax paid by the employee. The amount in Prev Tax Deducted wage type (/4V5) is added to the Total tax deducted so far wage type (/456). Prev Medical Exemptwage type (/4V6) - This wage type stores the amount entered as the medical exemption claimed by the employee. The amount in Prev Medical Exempt wage type (/4V6) is added to the Medical Reimbursement wage type (/414). Leave Encashment Exemtwage type (/4V7) - This wage type stores the amount entered as the sum of all leave encashment exemptions availed. Leave Encashment Exemt wage type (/4V7) gets processed only on the event of the separation of the employee from your organisation. The value of this wage type gets deducted from the maximum exemption limit for leave encashment exemption. Gratuity Exemptionwage type (/4V8) - This wage type stores the amount entered as the total gratuity availed. Gratuity Exemption wage type (/4V8) gets processed only on the event of the separation of the employee from your organisation. The value of this wage type gets deducted

74

from the maximum exemption limit for gratuity exemption amount. VRS Exemption wage type (/4V9) - This wage type stores the amount entered as the Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) exemption amount availed. VRS Exemption wage type (/4V9) gets processed only on the event of the separation of the employee from your organisation. No tax exemption is given, in case the employee has availed of the same with any of the previous employers. See also: Previous Employment Tax Details infotype (0580)

Section 80 Deduction Purpose Section 80 deductions are pre tax deductions from the Gross Taxable Income. Examples of components for Section 80 deductions are Contribution to certain Pension funds, Medical Premium paid, Donations to certain funds/charitable institutions and deductions for Permanent physical disability. The SAP System provides you with the all the Section 80 subsections and the divisions of the subsections. The maximum limit of contribution for each subsection and each subsection division has also been provided by the system. This means that even if you contribute more than the limit, the payroll will consider only the limit for tax deduction. Some of the contributions under Section 80 deductions are fully tax deductible, while some are partly tax deductible. The percentage of deduction for each of them is also configured by the SAP System.

75

A subsection of Section 80 may have different types of investments. Each of these different types of investments within a subsection is called a division in the SAP system. The employee can declare the amount he or she wants to contribute towards each division of the subsection of Section 80. This can be done at any point of time in the year. You can populate this as proposed contributions in the Section 80 Deductions infotype (0585). The tax for each period will be calculated outside the payroll based on this proposed contribution. The actual contributions can also be populated in the Section 80 Deductions infotype (0585). You can calculate the tax for an employee or for all employees by considering the actual contributions of the employee. This is typically done towards the end of the year, when the employee has submitted all his declarations. If you want to calculate the tax for all or selected employees based on actual Section 80 contributions, you can run the Batch Program for section 80 (HINIS800) for those employees, instead of updating the infotype record of each employee. Contributions to Section 80 investments can be made directly from the payroll of the employee. In this case, you must maintain the contribution details in the Membership Fees infotype (0057). In this case, the contribution amount for a particular subsection or division will be calculated by adding the contributions maintained in the Membership Fees infotype (0057) and the Section 80 Deductions infotype (0585). Section 80C and Section 80CCC Section 80C and Section 80CCC deductions are applicable from financial year 2005 2006 onwards. The deductions under Section 80C includes all the investments that were valid under Section 88 till financial

76

year 2004 2005. You can enter these deductions in the system using Section 80C Deductions infotype (0586). The deductions under Section 80CCC includes certain pension funds. The maximum amount of deduction available is INR 1,00,000. This includes the total of Section 80C and Section 80CCC deduction. Integration The payroll reads the Section 80 data from the Section 80 Deductions infotype (0585) for the purpose of tax deduction. In case of a physically challenged employee, you have to create a Challenge infotype (0004) record and store the relevant disability information there. As soon as you save this infotype record, a Membership Fees infotype (0057) record for Section 80U deduction is created automatically for the employee. The employee gets this tax deduction each year for as long as the above two infotype records are valid. Section 80 Contribution Details function (P0585) retrieves the data from the Section 80 Deductions infotype (0585) and updates the cluster table S80. Processing Request for Membership Fees function (P0057) retrieves the data from the Membership Fees infotype (0057) and updates the table P0057. Third Party Deductions payroll function (INTPD) reads S80 and the table P0057, and updates the cluster table S80. Section 80 Deductions for India payroll function (INS80) processes the cluster table S80 to generate the wage type for Total Section 80 deduction (/3I1). Actual Section 80 deduction wage type (/432) is the lower of the Total Section 80 deduction wage type (/3I1) and the Gross Total Income wage type (/430). Gross Taxable Income wage type (/434) is equal to Gross Total Income wage type (/430) minus Actual Section 80 deduction wage type (/432).

77

Features The parameters for Section 80 subsections and divisions have been configured in the SAP System as follows: ... 1. In the table view Subsection description (V_T7INI5), the subsection descriptions have been maintained. 2. In the table view Subsection limit (V_T7INI7), the maximum limits for each subsection has been maintained. 3. In the table view Sub division description (V_T7INI8), the subsection division descriptions have been maintained. 4. In the table view Sub division details (V_T7INI9), the upper limit of contribution, the percentage to be considered for tax deduction and the validity periods for the subsection divisions have been maintained. You do not need to configure these views. If you are populating the Section 80 data for an employee from the Membership Fees infotype (0057), you must configure the wage types for those Section 80 subsections or divisions. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India: Tax Third Party Deductions Configure Wagetypes for Section 80. You can configure more than one wage type for a subsection or a division. If you want to add any subsections or divisions to Section 80, you have been provided with a user exit EXIT_HINCALC0_003 in the Enhancement HRINITAX. You can access this from the IMG for Payroll India: Tax Tax Liability on Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks User Exit: Define User Rules for Section 80 and 88.

See also: Third Party Deductions Section 89(1) Relief Purpose This component computes the relief from tax in case of Arrears payments of past financial years. There can be situations where the payments that pertain to previous financial years are made in the current financial year. These payments typically arise due to salary revisions or bonus payments in this financial year for past financial years. Advance payments of future financial years. There can be situations where the payments that pertain to future financial years are made in advance in the current financial year. There can be situations where the arrears or advance salary is taxed at a higher rate in the year of receipt as compared to the year to which it pertains. In such a case, the employee is given a relief from tax. This relief is the amount of additional tax that the employee pays in the current year on account of receiving the arrears in the current period as against having received it in the year to which it pertains. Integration During a retroactive payroll run across financial years, the following wage types will be populated in the Difference table (DT) for the last period of the retrospective year: Add Gross Salary wage type (/616) This wage type stores the difference between the Gross Salary actually paid and that including the arrears payments.

79

CF Empmnt tax (Prof Tax) wage type (/622) This wage type stores the difference between the Professional Tax deducted for that year and the amount that would have been deducted if the arrears were paid in the year to which it pertains. CF Section 88 Investment wage type (/6I2) This wage type stores the difference between the Section 88 for that year and the amount that would have been contributed if the arrears were paid in the year to which it pertains. This difference in Section 88 contribution arises due to the difference in Provident Fund contribution. Add Tax payable and surch wage type (/650) This wage type stores the difference between the Tax and Surcharge deducted for that year and the amount that would have been deducted if the arrears were paid in the year to which it pertains. In the DT, the year for which the wage type pertains to is also mentioned against the wage types. For example, in the current period April 2002, if there is a retrospective run from 2000 onwards, then in DT, /616 wage type will appear for the two years, 2000 and 2001, separately. Same is applicable for the other three wage types mentioned above. The India Income Tax computations payroll function (INTAX) reads the DT for these wage types and generates the cluster table S89. Taking the above example, in April 2002, the India Income Tax computations payroll function (INTAX) will read the DT for the above four wage types for the two years, 2000 and 2001, and will generate the cluster table S89. In case of a retroactive run across financial years, if the Results Table (RT) does not exist For Period 12 In Period 12 for an employee, the system will stop the processing of the payroll for the

80

employee and will display an error message. There are some exceptions: In case of a retroactive run across financial years for an employee who was terminated before Period 12 of the year for which the retrospective payroll run is being executed, the Results Table (RT) does not exist For Period 12 In Period 12. In this case, the values of the above four wage types in the DT will be incorrect. The Modify DT with the latest available results in the 'for year' for S89 operation (INDTL), however, corrects the values of these wage types in DT. This operation is called by the Personnel calculation rule IN91 (IN91) of the Retroactive accounting INDIA schema (INNR). In case of a retroactive run across financial years for an employee who joined the organization in Period 12, and whose payroll was not run in Period 12, the Results Table (RT) does not exist For Period 12 In Period 12. In this case, you must set the value of the Cross fin Yr retro from March constant (CYFRM) of table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K) to 1. The default value of this constant is 0. You can do this in the IMG under Payroll India Tax Section 89(1) Relief Configure Cross Financial Year Retro for March. Features In case of Rebates and Statutory Deductions, the previous year's original amounts are taken into consideration while recalculating tax for that year. The extra amount is carried forward to the current period and treated accordingly. For example, while calculating tax for the previous year by including the arrears payments, the amount deducted as Professional Tax remains unchanged. The additional amount that should have been deducted if the arrears payments had been made

81

in the previous year, is stored in the Professional Tax Difference wage type (/622). This amount is treated as part of the current year's Professional Tax amount for calculating current year's tax including arrears. In case of Exemptions, the arrears payments made in the current year for the previous year is also taken into consideration while recalculating tax for that year. For example, while calculating tax for the previous year including the arrears payments, the House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption is recalculated for the previous year. You can choose, at the implementation level, to provide Section 89(1) Relief to your employees. In the Sec 89 Switch Implement. level constant (S89SW) of the table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K), Set the Value field to 1, if you want to provide Section 89(1) Relief to your employees. Set the Value field to 0 or leave the field blank, if you do not want to provide Section 89(1) Relief to your employees. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India Tax Section 89(1) Relief Maintain Sec89(1) Switch at Implementation Level. You can provide Section 89(1) relief to certain employees, even if you have chosen not to provide the relief to your employees at the implementation level. To do this, in the Other Statutory Deductions infotype (0588) 0004 subtype, select the indicator for Section 89(1) eligibility at employee level.

82

Third Party Deductions Purpose This component provides for the calculation of Section 80 deduction and Section 88 rebate when payments to external parties are made directly from the payroll of the employee. For example, LIC Premium, Mediclaim. These deductions are in addition to the declarations that an employee makes for the Section 80 and Section 88 contributions through Section 80 Deductions infotype (0585) and Investment Details (Sec88) infotype (0586), respectively. You do not require to maintain the details in these two infotypes for the the Section 80 and Section 88 deductions processed through the payroll. For Third Party Deductions, you can make an entry through Basic Pay infotype (0008), Recur. Payments/Deds. infotype (0014), Additional Payments infotype (0015) and Membership Fees infotype (0057). If the Third Party Deductions are made through Membership Fees infotype (0057), along with the past and the present payments, the projected payments will also be considered while calculating tax. The amount the employee proposes to contribute in the future months of the financial year is also taken into consideration, by the system, while calculating the total Section 80 and Section 88 contributions. If you make the Third Party Deductions through Basic Pay infotype (0008), Recur. Payments/Deds. infotype (0014) or Additional Payments infotype (0015), the system will only consider the past and present contributions while calculating tax and not the projected contributions. Integration The different types of deductions through Membership Fees infotype (0057) have to be maintained

83

as subtypes of the infotype. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India Tax Third Party Deductions Define Membership/Deduction Types. If you are making Third Party Deductions through the Membership Fees infotype (0057), you must maintain the wage type for this infotype through the IMG for under Payroll India Tax Third Party Deductions Check entry permissibility for Membership Fees Infotype (0057).

The Third Party Deductions payroll function (INTPD) reads the internal tables S80, S88, P0057 and the wagetypes in the internal table, and updates the internal tables S80 and S88. Feature If you are making Third Party Deductions and you want the system to calculate tax after taking Section 80/Section 88 contributions into consideration, you must configure the wage types for the different: Divisions or the subsections through the IMG for Payroll India Tax Third Party Deductions Configure Wagetypes for Section 80. Types of contributions through the IMG for Payroll India Tax Third Party Deductions Configure Wagetypes for Section 88.

Income from Other Sources

84

Purpose This component helps you to consider for taxation, the income that is incurred from sources other than that from your employment, in the current financial year. The SAP System divides the income from other sources into: Income from House Property Income from Other Sources

Implementation Considerations If an employee chooses to declare income from sources other than that from current employment, then that income also has to be taken into consideration for taxation during a regular payroll run. Integration The system reads the details from the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584). The Income From Other Sources payroll function (P0584) reads the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584) and generates the internal table IOS. Deduction under Section24 payroll function (INS24) and Details of Income from Other Sources payroll function (INIOS) read the Internal Table and the internal table IOS for the Income from House Property subtype (0001) and Income from Other Sources subtype (0002) data, respectively and generates the following wage types in the Internal Table: /3O1 - Annual Lettable Value This is the amount that you have entered as the Final Lettable Value in the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584) Income from House Property subtype (0001), for either Partly Let Out House Property or Wholly Let Out House Property.

85

/3O2 - Business Profits This is the amount that you have entered as the Business Profits in the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584) Income from Other Sources subtype (0002). /3O3 - Long Term Capital Gains (Normal Rate) This is the amount that you have entered as the Long Term Capital Gains (Normal Rate) in the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584) Income from Other Sources subtype (0002). /3O4 - Short Term Capital Gains This is the amount that you have entered as the Short Term Capital Gainsin the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584) Income from Other Sources subtype (0002). /3O5 - Income from Dividends This is the amount that you have entered as the Income from Dividends in the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584) Income from Other Sources subtype (0002). /3O6 - Income from Interests This is the amount that you have entered as the Income from Interest in the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584) Income from Other Sources subtype (0002).

/3O7 - Other Income This is the amount that you have entered as the Other Income (Unspecified) in the Income from Other Sources

86

infotype (0584) Income from Other Sources subtype (0002). /3O8 - Deductions u/s 23 /3O9 - Deduction u/s 24 (Interest) This is the amount that you have entered as the Deduction of Interest under section 24 in the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584) Income from House Property subtype (0001). /3OA - Deduction u/s 24 (House Repairs) This is the amount that you have entered as the Deduction on Account of Repairs under section 24 in the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584) Income from House Property subtype (0001), for either Partly Let Out House Property or Wholly Let Out House Property. /3OB - Deduction u/s 24 (Others) This is the amount that you have entered as the Deduction on Account of Other Expenses under section 24 in the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584) Income from House Property subtype (0001), for either Partly Let Out House Property or Wholly Let Out House Property. /3OD - Long Term Capital Gains (Special Rate) This is the amount that you have entered as the Long Term Capital Gains (Special Rate) in the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584) Income from Other Sources subtype (0002). /3OS - Short Gains on Listed Sec This is the amount that you have entered as the Short Term Capital Gains (Listed Securities) in Additional Payments infotype (0015) for the wage type associated with the tax code STCG.

87

/3OG Gift Income This is the amount that you have entered as the Gift Income in Additional Payments infotype (0015) for the wage type associated with the tax code SGFT. The sum of amounts in these wage types is added to the Any other Income wage type (/131). The amount in this wage type is added to the amount in Income under Head Salaries wage type (/426) to form the Gross Total Income wage type (/430). Section 80 Deductions are made from Gross Total Income wage type (/430) to form the Gross Total Income wage type (/434). Before calculating tax on total income, the system deducts the amounts in Long Term Capital Gains Normal Rate wage type (/3O3), Long Term Capital Gains Special Rate wage type (/3OD), Short Gains on Listed Sec wage type (/3OS) and Other Income wage type (/3O7) from the Gross Total Income wage type (/434). The tax calculated on Long Term Capital Gains, Special and Normal Rate, Short Term Capital Gains on Listed Securities and Other Income are added to the normal tax to form the Tax on Total Income wage type (/436). Features The parameters for Income from Other Sources have been configured in the SAP System as follows: ... 1. In case of Let out House Property (Wholly or Partly), the Deduction on Account of Repairs under section 24 is limited to a percentage of the Final Lettable Value. This percentage may vary across financial years. In the Repairs under Section 24 constant (REP24), of the table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K), this percentage has been maintained. 2. In the table view Payroll Constants (V_T511P), the maximum amount of interest for which you can get

88

tax exemption under section 24 has been maintained. This amount may vary depending on the financial year during which the loan was taken. Following constants have been maintained for the different interest exemption amounts: ... a. b. c. d. LNS01 - Rs.30,000 LNS02 - Rs.75,000 LNS03 - Rs.100,000 LNS04 - Rs.150,000

e. LNSMX - There is no limit in this case. The entire amount that you enter as the Deduction of Interest under section 24 in the Income from Other Sources infotype (0584) Income from House Property subtype (0001), for Self Occupied \ Deemed Self Occupied House Property, is tax exempt. 3. In the table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K), the rate of taxation for Long Term Capital Gains have been maintained in the following constants: ... a. LCNRT - Long Term capital Gains (Normal Rate) b. LCSRT - Long Term capital Gains (Special Rate) 4. In the ST Cap. Gain rate (Listed Sec) constant (SCGRT) of table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K), the rate of taxation for Short Term Capital Gains on Listed Securities has been maintained. 5. In the Other Income - rate constant (OTHRT) of the table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K), the rate of

89

taxation for Other Income (Unspecified) has been maintained. You can maintain whether a Loan Type is valid for Section 24 exemption. To do this, go to the IMG under Payroll India Company Loans Master Data Maintain Deduction Details Under Section 24. For details on configuring the IMG activity, refer to the IMG documentation. Tax on Arrears Purpose This component provides for the arrears generated during the retrospective regular payroll run, to be taxed in the payroll run in which the arrears are paid. The arrears, arising due to salary increments, long term settlements or revision of loss of pay, are generally a high value figure. Spreading the tax on arrears over the remaining payroll periods of the financial year results in high tax incidence on the employee in the subsequent periods, with insufficient payments to match. In such a case, this functionality provides for the arrears generated during the retrospective payroll run to be taxed in the payroll run in which the arrears are paid. Integration During a retroactive payroll run, the arrears are stored in the Stat.net recalc.diff. wage type (/551). The Calculate Arrears for Taxation rule (INAR) reads, in the original period the Stat.net recalc.diff. wage type (/551) for each of the payroll periods and stores the total arrears in the temporary variable table. Determine TDS rate and Calculate Tax on Arrears rule (INTD) calculates the tax on arrears, stored in temporary variable table, at the rate

90

brought forward by the Determine TDS % for arrears operation (INTDS) and stores this tax in the Income Tax wage type (/460). Features If the total arrears generated in the regular run exceeds a particular amount, then the arrears is taxed by the Determine TDS rate and calculate Tax on Arrears rule (INTD). You must maintain this particular arrears amount in the Arrear amount limit constant (ARLMT) of table view Payroll Constants (V_T511P). You must maintain the Determine TDS rate and Calculate Tax on Arrears rule (INTD) for the parameter of the Determine TDS % for arrears operation (INTDS). You must configure the Determine TDS % for arrears operation (INTDS) to determine the tax rate, based on any of the following parameters: a. BON1 - Standard tax rate at company level configured in Arrear Payment - TDS % constant (ARTDS) of table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K). b. BON2 - Marginal tax rate (excluding surcharge) before arrears, of an employee. c. BON3 - Marginal tax rate (including surcharge) before arrears, of an employee. d. BON4 - Marginal tax rate (excluding surcharge) after arrears, of an employee. e. BON5 - Marginal tax rate (including surcharge) after arrears, of an employee.

...

91

i. You can maintain the Arrear Payment - TDS % constant (ARTDS) and Arrear amount limit constant (ARLMT) in the IMG under Payroll India Tax Tax on Arrears Maintain Tax Limit and Tax Rate for Arrears Payment. ii. You can maintain the Determine TDS % for arrears operation (INTDS) in the Determine TDS rate and Calculate Tax on Arrears rule (INTD) in the IMG under Payroll India Tax Tax on Arrears Maintain Schema for Tax on Arrears. Employees, who have a low salary and have no tax liability, tax on arrears will not be calculated even when the parameter for the Determine TDS % for arrears operation (INTDS) is maintained as BON1. Exemptions Purpose This component comprises of: Exemption on Medical Reimbursements and Medical Insurance Premiums Exemption on Leave Travel Allowance Exemption on Child Education Allowance and Child Hostel Allowance Exemption on Other Allowances and Reimbursements Exemptions on Leave Encashment Exemption on Voluntary Retirement Scheme

92

Exemptions on Housing Exemptions on Conveyance Exemption on Leave Travel Allowance (LTA)

Purpose This component calculates the tax exemptions applicable to Leave Travel Allowance (LTA). Your organisation can give LTA to the employees in the following ways: ... By specifying an annual (normally, but not necessarily) amount for LTA and making payments against claims submitted by the employee. By giving the employee a certain amount as LTA on a monthly or a periodic basis. For more information on LTA reimbursements, see the Claims section. Integration Whenever an employee submits the travel tickets for LTA exemption as proof, you must create an Exemptions infotype (0582), LTA subtype record for the employee. You must create one record for every trip for which the employee is claiming an exemption. You can make the payments for LTA through the Basic Pay infotype (0008), Recur. Payments/Deds. infotype (0014), Additional Payments infotype (0015) or Additional Off-Cycle Payments infotype (0267). You must update the Previous Employment Tax Details infotype (0580) with the following LTA Exemption details:

93

The number of times the employee has claimed LTA Exemption in the current block of four years. Whether the employee has carried forward a trip for LTA exemption from previous block of four years to the current block. Payroll functions WPBP, P0014, P0015 and P0267 read the Basic Pay infotype (0008), Recur. Payments/Deds. infotype (0014), Additional Payments infotype (0015) and Additional Off-Cycle Payments infotype (0267), respectively for LTA and populates the Input Table with LTA wage types. The total amount of payments in the curent period is stored in the LTA reimbursement wage type (/3L1). To read infotype 0582 payroll function (P0582) reads the Exemptions infotype (0582) and forms the Internal Table EXM. To calculate LTA exemption amount payroll function (INLTA) reads the: ... Input table and the CRT for the LTA wage types for the total LTA payments in the current financial year. EXM for the total amount of the tickets submitted as proofs. The lesser of the amounts in a and b above, is the total LTA Exemption for the financial year. Features ... There is no LTA exemption amount limit stipulated by the government. An employee can get an exemption of the entire allowance amount. An employee can claim the LTA exemption for only two trips in a block of four years. The Begin Date and End

94

Date of this block is maintained in the constants, LTA Slab Begin Year (LTABG) and LTA Slab End Year (LTAEN) respectively, of the table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K). An employee can claim the LTA Exemption for self and for the dependents. The employee has to submit the tickets as proof to avail of the tax exemption. The details of the declaration are populated in the Exemptions infotype (0582), LTA subtype. If the employee has not claimed the LTA Exemption for one or both the trips in the current block, LTA Exemption for one trip can be carried forward to the next block. But this Exemption has to be claimed in the first year of the next block, otherwise the LTA exemption that is carried forward lapses. Exemption against LTA is the lesser of: ... Total LTA payments made for the financial year through Basic Pay infotype (0008), Recur. Payments/Deds. infotype (0014), Additional Payments infotype (0015) or Additional Off-Cycle Payments infotype (0267). Total amount of the travel tickets submitted as proof of travel and entered in the Exemptions infotype (0582), LTA subtype. You must populate the Exemptions infotype (0582), LTA subtype with the details of the travel tickets submitted as proof to avail of the LTA exemption.

95

Example ... An employee is eligible for an LTA of Rs.24,000 annually for the financial year 2002 - 2003. In the current block 2002 - 2005, he/she has carried forward one trip from the previous block. The employee submits the travel tickets of Rs.26,000 for the journey undertaken between the January 2, 2002 - January 19, 2002. The employee gets an exemption of Rs.24,000, which is the minimum of the eligible LTA and the travel tickets submitted as proof. This exemption is against the carry forward trip from the previous block. An employee is eligible for an LTA of Rs.36,000 annually for the financial year 2002 - 2003. In the current block 2002 - 2005, he/she has carried forward one trip from the previous block. The employee submits the travel tickets of Rs.20,000 for the journey undertaken between the January 2, 2002 - January 19, 2002. He/she also submits another set of travel tickets of Rs.15,000 for the journey undertaken between April 10, 2002 - April 28, 2002. The employee gets an exemption of Rs.35,000, which is the minimum of the eligible LTA and the total amount (Rs.20,000+Rs.15,000) of the travel tickets submitted as proof. This exemption is against the carry forward trip from the previous block and one trip of the current block.

Defining Exemption on Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) Purpose This process describes how to define the wage types for Exemption on Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) and assign characteristics to it. Prerequisites You must maintain the details of the travel tickets, submitted as proof by the employee, in the Exemptions infotype (0582) LTA subtype. Process Flow ... 1. You must define the taxcode for LTA reimbursement. To do so, go to the IMG under Payroll India Tax Tax Liability on Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Define tax Codes. The tax code used for LTA reimbursement is SLTA. 2. You must configure the wage type for the Tax Type and the Tax Code. To do so, go to the IMG under Payroll India Tax Tax Liability on Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Assign Tax Code limits to Wagetypes. 3. You must configure the Attendence/Absence Type, Number of days of Leave and the Leave Counting Method for the LTA wage type. To do so, go to the IMG under Payroll India Leave Travel Maintain Minimum Eligibility Period for Leave Travel Allowance. For further details on setting up the wage type, see INVAL.

97

For details on how to set up each IMG activity, refer to the IMG documentation. Exemptions Infotype (0582) LTA Subtype Definition The LTA subtype of the Exemptions infotype (0582) stores the details of the travel submitted as proof for Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) tax exemptions. Use The details in this subtype are used during the calculation of LTA tax exemption. This infotype can be created at any point of time during a financial year. The infotype records are read for the entire financial year, each time there is a regular payroll run. When you create an Exemptions infotype (0582) LTA subtype record for an employee, the data from the Family/Related Person infotype (0021) records get defaulted into this infotype record. This happens only if Family/Related Personinfotype (0021) records exist for the employee. This defaulting of data into the Exemptions infotype (0582) LTA subtype record is for information only and does not affect the actual LTA exemption. You can select the indicator to specify that the employee has declared the related person as a dependent. Structure You have to enter the following details in this subtype: The date on the ticket, which the employee has submitted as proof. If there are a number of tickets for the same trip, this date can represent any one of the tickets.

98

The exemption amount, which is the total amount against which travel tickets have been submitted as proof for LTA exemption. You can combine the amounts of more than one Exemptions infotype (0582) LTA subtype record to account for a single LTA exemption. To do so, you must enter the same two digit code as the trip exemption counter for all the records that are to be considered for a single exemption. The start date af the journey. The end date of the journey. The journey start point. The journey destination. The mode of travel used for the journey The class of travel. The ticket numbers. If the employee has been a part of the trip for which the employee is claiming the LTA Exemption, you must select the indicator for self-travel. If the trip has been undertaken by the dependents only, you must not select this indicator. If the exemption is for the trip carried forward from the previous block of four years, then you must select the indicator. If you select the indicator for self travel of the Exemptions infotype (0582) LTA subtype, the system checks the Absences infotype (2001). If the employee is on leave for the period of the trip, the system will save

Integration

99

the infotype record. Otherwise, the system will show an error. A dependent can be exempt only once for a particular trip exemption counter code. The system will allow you to enter only two unique codes as the trip exemption counter for an employee in a block of four years.

Exemption on Medical Reimbursement Purpose This component calculates the tax exemptions against Medical Reimbursements. You can give Medical Reimbursements to your employees in the following ways: ... By specifying an annual (normally, but not necessarily) amount for Medical Reimbursement and making payments against claims submitted by the employee. By giving the employee a certain amount as medical allowance on a monthly or a periodic basis. For further information on Medical Reimbursements, see the Claims section.

100

Integration Whenever an employee submits the bills for medical exemption as proof, you must create an Exemptions infotype (0582), MDA subtype record for the employee. You can create a record for each bill submitted by the employee or you can create a record by cumulating all the bills, submitted as proof for medical exemption. You can make the payments for Medical Reimbursement through the Basic Pay infotype (0008), Recur. Payments/Deds. infotype (0014), Additional Payments infotype (0015) or Additional Off-Cycle Payments infotype (0267). Payroll functions WPBP, P0014, P0015 and P0267 read the Basic Pay infotype (0008), Recur. Payments/Deds. infotype (0014), Additional Payments infotype (0015) and Additional Off-Cycle Payments infotype (0267), respectively for Medical Reimbursements and populates the Input Table with Medical Reimbursement and Medical Reimbursement to be treated as Medical Insurance wage types. The system stores the Medical Exemption that is brought forward from the previous employer in the Input Table against the Previous Employment Medical Exemption wage type (/4V6). Medical reimbursement payroll function (INMED) reads the Exemptions infotype (0582), MDA subtype record, the Input Table and the Cumulative Results Table, and generates the Medical Reimbursement Exemption wage type (/3M1). Features ... Medical Reimbursement is tax exempt up to a maximum limit as per the Income Tax Act. To configure this maximum limit go to the IMG under Payroll India Tax tax Liability on reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Assign Tax Code limits to Wage types.

Maximum limit of the exemption against Medical Reimbursements as configured in point 1, above. You must populate the Exemptions infotype (0582), MDA subtype with the details of the medical bills submitted as proofs to avail of the medical exemption on Medical Reimbursements. You have been provided with an option, whereby, you can ignore the entries in the Exemptions infotype (0582), MDA subtype, by sending a parameter, X, to the Medical reimbursement payroll function (INMED). In such a case, exemption on Medical Reimbursement is the lesser of a and c, above. An employee may be allowed to claim Medical Insurance premium against the Medical Reimbursement limit set by the employer. Hence, for the purpose of claim, this

102

Medical Insurance premium amount is treated as Medical Reimbursement. But for the purpose of taxation, this amount is treated as Medical Insurance premium. To give this benefit to an employee, you must: ... Select the indicator for Medical Insurance Exemption in the Exemptions infotype (0582), MDA subtype record in which you enter the details of this proof. Enter the constant 1, as the Assignment Number in the Additional Payments infotype (0015) record through which you make the payment for this claim. Example The tax exemption limit for Medical Reimbursement is Rs.15,000. An employee is eligible to a medical allowance of Rs.20,000 and he or she submits proofs of Rs.10,000 for the financial year. In this case, the employee gets a tax exemption of Rs.10,000, which is the minimum of the above three amounts.

Exemption on Other Allowances and Reimbursements Purpose This component is used to calculate tax exemption on any allowance or reimbursement that your company may want to give to the employees. You must use this component only: For those tax exemptions that have not been provided as a standard by the system. For example, Exemptions on Leave Travel Allowance, Medical Reimbursement, Medical Insurance, Child Education Allowance, Child Hostel Allowance. When the tax exemption is not a fixed amount and varies from one employee to the other depending on the proof of expenditure provided by the employee. Integration The General Payroll function for Allowance/Reimbursement Treatment payroll function (INCTX) calculates the tax exemption on any allowance or reimbursement that you may want to give to your employees. The system reads the Basic Pay infotype (0008), Recur. Payments/Deds. infotype (0014) or Additional Payments infotype (0015) for the payments made for the allowance or reimbursement. The system reads the exemption amount from the subtype of Exemptions infotype (0582), created by you through table view Subtype Characteristics (V_T591A). Features ...

When the employee submits the proof of expenditure, you must enter the amount in the subtype created by you for Exemptions infotype (0582). Exemption on the allowance or the reimbursement is the minimum of: ... Allowance or reimbursement made through the Basic Pay infotype (0008), Recur. Payments/Deds. infotype (0014) or Additional Payments infotype (0015). Total amount of exemption entered in the subtype created by you for Exemptions infotype (0582). Maximum limit of exemption maintained in table view Taxability of Wage Types (V_T7INT9). See also: Exemption on Other Allowances and Reimbursements Configuration Leave Encashment Purpose This component computes exemptions on the Leave Encashment received by an employee at the time of separation from employment. The system computes exemption on Leave Encashment as the minimum of: 1. 2. Leave Encashment Amount Exemption limit

3. Product of the Average Monthly Salary and the Multiplication factor

116

4. Product of Average Monthly Salary and Number of months of leave encashed For more information, see Exemptions on Leave Encashment Integration Termination Workbench This functionality computes the Leave Encashment amount for the employee. Income Tax The exemption on Leave Encashment is reported by the Income Tax functionality under Section 10 Exemptions. Previous Employment Tax Details Infotype (0580) If an employee has claimed an exemption on Leave Encashment in a previous employment, you can capture the exemption amount in this infotype. The system will deduct this claimed amount from the maximum exemption limit, and then compute the current exemption. Exemption on Voluntary Retirement Scheme Purpose This process describes the computation of the exemptions, on the amount received by an employee under a Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS). Process Flow Voluntary Retirement Service Taxationpayroll function (INVRS) computes exemptions on the VRS at the time of termination. It computes the exemption on VRS as a minimum of the following factors:

117

... 1. 2. VRS payments received Tax limit

3. Number of months of salary payable for every completed year of service 4. Product of the Number of months of Salary from VRS date to Normal Retirement Date and the Current nominal basis VRS payments received Gratuity contribution taxationpayroll function (INGTX) checks the internal table IT for the VRS wage type and obtains the amount received as VRS Payment. The Termination Workbench computes the amount payable as VRS and stores the wage type for VRS in the Additional Payments infotype (0015). You can also directly enter the VRS amount in the Additional Payments infotype (0015). ... 1. During payroll processing in the termination period, the Processing request for additional payments payroll function (P0015) reads the Additional Payments infotype (0015) and stores the wage type for VRS in the internal table. 2. Before checking the internal table for the VRS wage type and amount, the Voluntary Retirement Service Taxation payroll function (INVRS) checks the table view Taxability of wage types (V_T7INT9) for the VRS tax code, SVRS and the wage type that is associated with this tax code. Voluntary Retirement wage type (MVR0) is the model wage type that is associated with tax code SVRS.

118

After identifying the VRS wage type, associated with the tax code SVRS, the Voluntary Retirement Service Taxation payroll function (INVRS) looks for this VRS wage type in the internal table and obtains the VRS payment amount.

To identify the tax code for VRS and the VRS wage types associated with the tax code, the Voluntary Retirement Service Taxation payroll function (INVRS) checks the table view Taxability of wage types (V_T7INT9). It also determines the eligibility for VRS through Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances from the table view Reimbursement Allowances Perks eligibility and calculation (V_T7INA9). Ensure that you have configured the eligibility wage type (MVR0) as Cessation Payment in the table view Reimbursement Allowances Perks - eligibility and calculation (V_T7INA9). Cessation Payment is an option under the Reimbursement/ allowance/perk indicator.

Tax limit ... 1. Voluntary Retirement Service Taxation payroll function (INVRS) checks for the maximum amount of VRS that can be exempt from tax. The maximum limit is as specified by the authorities. You can view the maximum limit for the tax code SVRS using the table view Taxability of wage types (V_T7INT9). 2. If the employee received an exemption on the VRS amount from a previous employment, Voluntary Retirement Service Taxation payroll function (INVRS) will not process an exemption on VRS in the current employment.

119

You can maintain the VRS exemption, claimed in a previous employment using the Previous Employment Tax Details infotype (0580). The VRS Exemption wage type (/4V9) stores the exemption amount previously claimed. Number of months of salary for every completed year of service The number of months of salary for every completed year of service is computed as the product of 1, 2 and 3: ... 1. No. of years of continuous service The Termination Workbench calculates the number of years of service based on the employment Start Date and End Date. In the Termination Workbench, you have the option of overwriting the value computed by the Termination Workbench. You can also make the payment on VRS through the Additional Payments infotype (0015). 2. Multiplication Factor for VRS The Multiplication factor is a predefined number of months of salary, taken for each year of service. The Month Factor Pre VRS Service constant (MFPVR) of table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K) stores the Multiplication factor for VRS and as of year 2001-2002, the value of the factor is three. 3. Latest Nominal basis The system takes the Basic and Dearness Allowance components of an employee's salary as the VRS basis. The Voluntary Retirement Bas. wage type (/129) stores this computed VRS basis amount. The Nominal

120

Cumulations rule (IN72) checks the Basic and Dearness Allowance wage types for the Processing Class 72 and cumulates them into the Voluntary Retirement Bas. wage type (/129). The Voluntary Retirement Service Taxation payroll function (INVRS) takes the last nominal basis as the current nominal basis and for obtaining the same, it makes use of the Last nominal basis rule (INLN). Product of the Number of months of Salary from VRS date to Normal Retirement Date and the current nominal basis The system computes the remaining period of service by taking the difference between the: Date of actual termination Date on which the employee would have normally retired, if the employee had not opted for the VRS Voluntary Retirement Service Taxation payroll function (INVRS) computes the value by dividing the remaining number of days by 30.5 and then rounding off the value to the nearest lower integer. You can create and maintain the date of normal retirement in the Date Specifications infotype (0041). Ensure that you select the Date Type as N0. After selecting the minimum of the four exemption factors, the Voluntary Retirement Service Taxation payroll function (INVRS) generates the Voluntary Ret. Exemption wage type (/4E6), in which it stores the exemption on VRS. Voluntary Retirement Service Taxation payroll function (INVRS) computes exemption on VRS only when at least one of the following conditions applies:

121

The employee has completed 10 years of service in the company. The Min Age for VRS exemption constant (VRSYR) of table view Payroll Constant (V_T511K) stores the value for the number of years in service. The employee has reached the age of 40. The Determine VRS Eligibility rule (INVR) performs the check for these two conditions, and processes the Voluntary Retirement Service Taxation payroll function (INVRS) only when the employee meets at least one of the two conditions. Retroactive Computation Voluntary Retirement Service Taxation payroll function (INVRS) computes exemption on VRS only in the month of termination. Result When you process payroll for the employee in a period after termination, the system will import the VRS exemption results from the termination period into the period under consideration. The Processing the last results table payroll function (PLRT) makes use of the B/F Termination related exemptions for Payroll after termination rule (INTT) to import the results. The rule checks the Last Results Table (LRT) for the VRS wage type and imports them into the current period. The system does not make any changes in the imported results. Previous Employment Tax Details Purpose This component provides for the computation of: Tax in the current financial year, by capturing the salary, exemption, contribution, deduction details of the

122

employee pertaining to the previous employments in the current financial year. Tax exemption when the employee separates from the current employment, by capturing certain lifetime exemptions from all previous employers. Integration You must create a Previous Employment Tax Details infotype (0580) record For an employee, whenever a new employee joins your organisation For all employees who have joined your organisation in the past from some other employment, when you are going live with the SAP System. The Previous Employment Tax Details payroll function (P0580) reads the Previous Employment Tax Details infotype (0580) and populates the details in the internal table PET. The value entered as the number of times the employee has claimed LTA exemptions, gets stored in the PET internal table as LTAEX field. This LTAEX field indicates the number of times the employee has claimed LTA Exemption with his previous employers for the current block of four years. When you create an Exemptions infotype (0582) LTA subtype record for an employee, the system will check the LTAEX field to see if the employee has claimed an LTA Exemption for this block of four years in his or her previous employment. The indicator for whether the employee has carried forward an LTA claim from the previous block of four years, gets stored in the PET internal table as a checkbox. This indicates whether an LTA Exemption has been carried forward for the employee from the previous block of four years pertaining to his or her previous employers. If you create an Exemptions

123

infotype (0582) LTA subtype record for an employee in the first year of the new block of four years, the system will check the PET internal table to see if the checkbox has been selected or not. If the checkbox has been selected, the exemption granted will be against the carried forward LTA Exemption from the previous block of four years. Previous Employment Tax Details payroll function (INPET) processes the internal table PET and generates the following wage types: ...

See also: Previous Employment Tax Details infotype (0580) Professional Tax Purpose This component provides functions and processes that compute the professional tax deductions of an employee. Professional tax is a statutory tax that state governments levy on professions, trades, callings, and employment. Professional Tax functionality in the SAP system, only covers the Professional Tax applicable on employee salaries.

129

Individual State Governments decide the rules applicable for computing the professional tax in their state. The Central Government, under the Constitution of India, fixes the limit on professional tax that the State Governments can charge. Integration Income Tax The system estimates the annual professional tax of an employee and deducts it from salary as per Section 16(ii) of the Income Tax Act. Features The system determines the professional tax payable by an employee, based on the following factors: Professional tax basis Comprises those salary components on which a professional tax is applicable. The salary components to be included for calculating the professional tax basis depend on the state. The different components are: Basic pay Dearness allowance Medical reimbursement perquisite Housing Profits in lieu of salary Other remuneration that an employee receives regularly Bonus Medical Reimbursement The system includes the medical reimbursement amount which exceeds the amount exempt from Income Tax (as fixed under the Income Tax Act), as a part of the professional tax basis. Housing Allowance In case of a company leased or a company owned accommodation, the system checks the difference in housing allowance and the rent. If you pay an employee the positive difference between housing

130

allowance and rent, then, the system includes this amount for calculating the professional tax basis. Bonus - If the employment is in a state that specifies bonus as a component of the professional tax basis, then the system includes the same for professional tax basis calculations. Basis type This is the type of basis considered while computing professional tax. Basis type can be: Nominal basis The system considers the salary of an employee, while calculating professional tax. It does not take into account the actual number of days that the employee attended work within the given payroll period. Due basis The system considers the actual amount that an employee receives as the basis amount for professional tax calculations. Most states specify Due basis for professional tax calculations. You can configure this for individual states. Computation frequency This is the frequency with which the system computes professional tax basis for an employee. The computation frequency may span across one or more payroll periods, and the state specifies the frequency. For example, the frequency may be: Monthly Where the professional tax basis computation occurs every month. Half yearly Where the professional tax basis computation occurs twice in a year, and each computation spans six payroll periods. Annual Where the professional tax basis computation occurs only once in a year and the computation spans the twelve payroll periods. Deduction frequency This is the frequency with which the system deducts the professional tax of an employee. The computation frequency may span across one or

131

more payroll periods, and is state specific. For example, the deduction frequency may be: Monthly Professional tax is deducted every month. Quarterly Professional tax is deducted once in a quarter and spans three payroll periods. Half-yearly Professional tax is deducted twice a year, and the computation spans six payroll periods. Annual Professional tax is deducted once in a year, and the computation spans the twelve payroll periods. Exemptions Some states exempt certain categories of employees from paying professional tax. For example, in Karnataka, the following categories of employees are exempt from professional tax: Blind, deaf or dumb employees Employees who are 65 years of age Professional tax slabs Employee salaries fall within different salary ranges or slabs, and the amount of professional tax to be paid depends on the salary range to which the employee belongs. Every state specifies its own salary slabs and the professional tax rate that is applicable for a salary range. The system calculates the professional tax amount accordingly. Arrears or the retrospective professional tax When arrears are paid to an employee, the system determines the professional tax amount to be paid for previous periods by performing retrospective calculation. The system computes the retrospective professional tax in two ways, and the method it uses depends on the state. The two methods are: Gross Carry Forward The system recalculates the professional tax basis for the past periods. It carries forward the difference in the professional tax basis for each

132

retrospective calculation period into the current processing period, and sums it up into the current processing period. Deduction Carry Forward The system recalculates the professional tax amount for the past periods. It carries forward the difference in the professional tax amount for every retrospective period into the current processing period, and then sums it up for the current processing period. When there is a retrospective change of state, or a change in the professional tax liability of an employee, the system always uses the deduction carry forward method for retrospective professional tax computations. Reports The system generates professional tax statements in a format prescribed by the concerned state authorities. In some states, you need to pay tax as per the state act, but submit the returns at the local municipality or corporation level. The system generates the professional tax statements accordingly.

Professional Tax Computation Purpose This process describes how the system computes professional tax, payable by employees, during a payroll run.

133

The system processes professional tax as part of the payroll run. While processing professional tax, it considers the following factors: The type of payroll that is being processed: An original payroll run This in turn can be either a regular payroll run or an off-cycle payroll run. A retrospective payroll run. The state or region to which an employee belongs in the current payroll period. An employee might have worked in more than one state within a payroll period. In this case, the system splits the payroll state wise, and computes the professional tax basis for the different states. The applicability of professional tax in the state or region. Some states exempt some employee categories from paying professional tax. For example, in Karnataka, blind, deaf or dumb employees are exempt from professional tax. Within a payroll period, an employee might have worked in more than one state. As the professional tax calculation rules vary from one state to another, the system divides the professional tax period into smaller split periods. All calculations for a split period are as per the rules of the state to which the employee belongs in the split period. The system identifies the state depending on the Personnel Area and Personnel Subarea information of an employee. Process Flow While processing professional tax in a payroll run, the system: ...

1. Identifies the basis type. Basis type can be either nominal or due, and it is state specific. You can view and maintain the basis type for a state through the IMG under Payroll India Professional Tax Maintain Method and Form Layout for PTax Grouping. 2. Computes the Professional Tax basis, and stores the value in the professional tax basis wage type (/3P2). If there are split periods, the system creates this wage type for every split. For example, an employee worked in the state of Gujarat from the 1st to the 15th of June and in Karnataka from the 16th to the 30th of June. This results in two split periods and the creation of two Professional Tax Basis wage types (/3P2). One wage type for Gujarat and the other for Karnataka. The system calculates the professional tax basis for 1st June to the 15th June as per the professional tax rules in Gujarat. It stores the value in the /3P2 wage type for Gujarat. For the period, 16th June to 30th June, the system calculates professional tax basis as per the rules of Karnataka. It stores the value in the /3P2 wage type for Karnataka. The system uses the country specific indicators to distinguish the Professional Tax basis wage types (/3P2) from one another. The system first creates the following cumulated professional tax basis wage types: Due basiswage type (/118) Nominal basis wage type (/119)

Depending on the state, the system then uses one of the above wage types. This wage type stores the

135

cumulated professional tax basis obtained from all the pay components you have configured for the professional tax basis. They include: Retrospective professional tax processing wage type (/ZPT) Medical perquisite wage type (/3M3)Through Cumulation of PTax basis rule (INPT) Housing perquisite wage type (/3RH) Through Cumulation of PTax basis rule (INPT) Bonus (Model wage types - B101 and B202) Through Cumulation of PTax basis rule (INPB) 3. Determines whether professional tax needs to be deducted for an employee. Some states exempt certain sections of employees from professional tax. 4. Determines whether professional tax needs to be deducted in the current payroll run. The frequency of professional tax deduction varies from one state to another. 5. Determines the Professional Tax amount for the current period. Based on the Professional Tax basis calculated for the employee, the system identifies the salary ranges for professional tax and the professional tax amount. You can view and maintain the same in the IMG under Payroll India: Professional Tax Assign amounts for Professional Tax Deduction. The system determines the professional tax amount for the period and saves it in the Professional Tax split period wage type (/3P1). If there are splits in the professional tax period, it determines the professional tax amount for every split and saves the same in the

136

multiple Professional Tax split period wage types (/3P1) created for the split periods. The system also assigns indicators to these wage types to distinguish them from one another. 6. Determines the tax for the current payroll period. The system sums up the professional tax amounts calculated for the split periods to arrive at the professional tax amount for the full period. It saves the professional tax amount for the full period in the Professional Tax Full Period wage type (/3P3). 7. Determines the projected professional tax amount payable in the current financial year, and the professional tax amount already paid by the employee. It saves the same in the Annual Professional Tax wage type (/422). The projected professional tax amount is used by the Income Tax functionality. Result You can display and print a professional tax report. The professional tax report displays the information in the format specified by the state.

Professional Tax calculation varies from one state to another, and you must define the Professional Tax calculation rules applicable to the employees depending on the state in which they are working. In the system you organize your employee information within Personnel Areas and Personnel Subareas. This identifies the state of employment. Within a state, the employees also need to be grouped into different professional tax groups. It is depending on the combination of the Personnel Area, Personnel Subarea and the professional tax grouping of the employee, that the system identifies factors such as the: Components of the professional tax basis. Method and the frequency of calculating and deducting professional tax. Salary range for the employee. The system deducts the professional tax amount based on the salary range that an employee falls into. The salary ranges and the tax applicable on a salary range is state specific. Format for the professional tax reports Process Flow ... Define Professional Tax groups based on the different regions or states in which your company is located. You can define the different tax groups within a state by taking into account the different reporting needs of that state.

the calculations for the different PF components such as PF, Pension Fund, VPF, and EDLI charges. In the event of trust changes, the system provides for split information of the deducted trust wise PF contributions. See also: Provident Fund Employee State Insurance Purpose This component calculates the Employee State Insurance (ESI) contribution: To be deducted from the salary of the employee. To be made by the employer. Eligibility An employee is eligible for ESI only if: Other Statutory Deductions infotype (0588) subtype ESI (0001) record exists for the employee. ESI Basis of the employee is less than or equal to the amount stored in the ESI Eligibility Limit constant (ESILT) of the table view Payroll Constants (V_T511P). This amount is set by the government. ESI Basis is the sum of basic salary, dearness allowance, all allowances and overtime. Overtime is excluded from ESI Basis for the calculation of ESI eligibility but is included for the computation of ESI contribution.

150

If the average wage per day of the employee is less than or equal to the amount stored in the Min.Avg.Wage per day constant (ESIMN) of the table view Payroll Constants (V_T511P), the system calculates only an employer ESI contribution of 4.75% of the ESI Basis. Average wage per day for an employee is ESI Basis Nominal wage type (/113) divided by the value in the No.of days in month for calc constant (DYSMN) of table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K). If the employee is eligible for ESI in any one month of the ESI contribution period, then the employee is eligible for all the subsequent months in that contribution period.

ESI contribution percentages - Reads the table view Employees' State Insurance Contribution Rates (V_T7INE3). Employees' State Insurance Contributionspayroll function (INESI) reads the Input Table and ESI, and updates the Input Table. This function: Reads the following wage types: ESI Basis wage type (/112) - This is the actual ESI basis. This includes loss of pay and overtime. This wage type is

151

calculated by the Gross input and storage rule (X023). Based on the specification of Processing Class 20 and if the Cumulation Class 12 of the wage type is selected, the Gross input and storage rule (X023) includes the value of the wage type in the ESI Basis wage type (/112). ESI Basis Nominalwage type (/113) - This wage type does not take into account loss of pay or overtime. Eligibility for ESI is calculated on the amount in this wage type. This wage type is calculated by the Nominal Cumulations rule (IN72). Based on the specification of Processing Class 72, the Nominal Cumulations rule (IN72) includes the value of the wage type in the ESI Basis Nominal wage type (/113). Generates the following wage types: In case of an original payroll run Actual ESI Basis wage type (/3EA) - This is the effective ESI basis, on which the ESI contributions are calculated. /3EA = (Amount in /112) multiplied by (Number of ESI days) divided by (Number of Calendar days). The system reads the Number of ESI days from the Other Statutory Deductions infotype (0588) subtype ESI (0001). If the number of days for which an employee is eligible for ESI is same as the number of calendar days in a period, Actual ESI Basis wage type (/3EA) will be same as ESI Basis wage type (/112). Ee ESI contribution wage type (/3E1) - This is the employee ESI contribution calculated on Actual ESI Basis wage type (/3EA). Er ESI contribution wage type (/3E2) - This is the employer ESI contribution calculated on Actual ESI Basis wage type (/3EA). In case of a retroactive payroll run

BF ESI basis wage type (/ZEA) - This is the cumulation of the values of all the CF ESI basis wage types (/AEA) generated during a retrospective payroll run. This wage type is generated during an original payroll run. Ee ESI Refund-Monthly wage type (/AER) - This is the refund amount for the retrospective period. If there is retrospective deletion of Other Statutory Deductions infotype (0588) subtype ESI (0001) record during a retrospective payroll run, there may be a refund of ESI contribution made by the employee. Ee ESI Refund-Total wage type (/ZER) - This is the cumulated values of all the Ee ESI Refund-Monthly wage types (/AER) generated during a retrospective payroll run. The value of this wage type is brought forward to the current payroll period for a refund.

Retroactive Employee State Insurance Calculation Purpose This process describes how the SAP system computes Employee State Insurance (ESI) during a retroactive payroll run. The system calculates ESI retroactively in the following cases: ... Retroactive change in salary of the employee Retroactive creation/change in Other Statutory Deductions infotype (0588) subtype ESI (0001) record. Retroactive deletion of Other Statutory Deductions infotype (0588) subtype ESI (0001) record.

Process Flow ... 1. Retroactive change in salary of the employee In the retroactive payroll runs, the system stores the differences in values of Actual ESI Basis wage type (/3EA) for the retroactive runs and the previous payroll runs, in the CF ESI basis wage type (/AEA). The amounts in all the CF ESI basis wage types (/AEA) are cumulated in BF ESI basis wage type (/ZEA) and brought forward to the current period. ... a. If the value of BF ESI basis wage type (/ZEA) is positive - The amount in BF ESI basis wage type (/ZEA) is added to the current period Actual ESI Basis wage type (/3EA). If the employee is eligible for ESI in the current period, the

156

system calculates employee and employer contributions on the total amount. b. If the value of BF ESI basis wage type (/ZEA) is negative - The amount in BF ESI basis wage type (/ZEA) is not added to the current period Actual ESI Basis wage type (/3EA). If the employee is eligible for ESI in the current period, the system calculates employee and employer contributions only on current period ESI basis. 2. Retroactive creation/change in Other Statutory Deductions infotype (0588) subtype ESI (0001) record ... a. If the current payroll period exceeds the last_retro_period - The system brings forward only the arrears of the periods which fall in the same contribution period in which the current payroll period falls, to the current period. b. If the current payroll period does not exceed the last_retro_period - The system brings forward all arrears to the current payroll period.

The system treats the positive and negative arrears in the same way as arrears arising due to a salary change. For the contribution period April to September, last_retro_period is the following December. For the contribution period October to March, last_retro_period is the following June. If the For Period is between YYYY01 and YYYY06, last_retro_period is YYYY09. If For Period is between YYYY07 and YYYY12, last_retro_period is (YYYY+1)03.

157

3. Retroactive deletion of Other Statutory Deductions infotype (0588) subtype ESI (0001) record ... a. By default i. If the retroactive period falls in the contribution period in which the current payroll period falls - The system refunds to the employee in the current period, the ESI contributions made by the employee in the retroactive periods. ii. If the retroactive period does not fall in the contribution period in which the current payroll period falls - The system does not refund the ESI contributions to the employee. For example, the Other Statutory Deductions infotype (0588) subtype ESI (0001) record is deleted in Period 6 with effect from Period 1. In this case, in the retroactive payroll runs, ESI employee contributions made in Periods 1 - 5 are stored in Ee ESI Refund - Monthly wage type (/AER) for the reactive periods. In Period 6, the values of all Ee ESI Refund - Monthly wage types (/AER) are cumulated into Ee ESI Refund - Total wage type (/ZER). The cumulated amount is refunded to the employee in Period 6. b. If you do not want to refund the ESI contributions made in the retroactive periods, you can configure the Business Add-In (Add-In) HR_IN_ESI_REFUND to return the value N. To configure the Add-In, go to the IMG under Payroll India Statutory Social Contribution Employees' State Insurance Add-In: Ignore ESI Refund during Retroactive Payroll Run.

LWF Computations The states specify their individual rates for LWF computation, the frequency of LWF contribution and Validity Date for LWF contributions. For example, the LWF contribution frequency in Tamil Nadu is annual and it takes place in the ninth period. The validity date for Tamil Nadu is 31st December. In Kerala, the deduction frequency is bi-annual, and it takes place in the third period and the ninth period. The third period has the validity date as 30th June. You can configure details through the IMGunder Payroll India Statutory Social Contribution Labour Welfare Fund. Termination The method of computing LWF in case of a termination differs from one state to another. The individual states also specify the method of computing LWF contributions, in case of a termination. For example, if an employee in Kerala leaves the organization before 30th June, the system will not compute the LWF contribution for the employee. In the case of Tamil Nadu however, the system will compute the LWF contribution even if the employee leaves before the 31st December. Retrospective LWF calculations A retrospective change in Other Statutory Deductions infotype (0588), LWF (Labour Welfare Fund) subtype 0002 does not result in retroactive LWF calculations.

163

User Exit In the Standard SAP system, you can define the Labour Welfare Groups for the employees based on their default Personnel Area and Personnel Subarea. If you wish to override the default LWF Personnel Subarea grouping, you can do so through a customer exit. For more information, see the IMGunder Payroll India Statutory Social Contribution Labour Welfare Fund User Exit: Determine Personnel SubArea Grp for ESI and LWF. Nominations Infotype (0591) Definition This infotype stores the nomination details of employees for the following benefits: Use According to the company rules and legal laws, an employee has to nominate some person(s) for the transfer of benefits, in the eventuality of the death of the employee. These nomination details are maintained in this infotype. The nomination details have to be maintained: When the employee joins the organization. Employee State Insurance Gratuity Maternity Act Provident Fund Pension

164

As and when the employee is covered under one of the above benefits. When the employee wants to change the nomination details.

Structure You are provided with the following subtypes to store the nomination details for the different benefits: ESI Benefit (BNES) Gratuity Benefit (BNGR) Maternity Act Benefit (BNMB) PF Benefit (BNPF) Pension Benefit (BNPN) For a subtype, You must enter the name of the nominee and the percentage of the benefit that goes to the nominee. The sum of the percentage share must be equal to 100. Minimum Net Pay Purpose This component sets a minimum wage for the employees, while processing payroll. Minimum net processing supports only non-statutory deductions. Implementation Considerations The deductions, which need to be considered for minimum net processing, should be configured for Priorities and Arrears. You can do this in the IMG under Payroll India Deductions Arrears and Priorities .

165

Features The minimum wage for an employee can be configured in two ways: As a percentage of a particular wage component - You can maintain the percentage in the Minimum Net Pay Percentage constant (MNPPR) of table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K). By default the particular wage component is taken as the Total gross amount wage type (/101). As a fixed amount - You can maintain this fixed amount in the Minimum net pay - Fixed Amount constant (MNPAM) of table view Payroll Constants (V_T511P). You must configure the Minimum Net Pay - Percentage constant (MNPPR) and/or the Minimum net pay - Fixed Amount constant (MNPAM) in the IMG under Payroll India Deductions Minimum Net Pay Maintain Value for Determination of Minimum Wage. If you maintain both of the above mentioned constants, the amount in the Minimum net pay Fixed Amount constant (MNPAM) is taken as the minimum wage. You have been provided with a Business Add-In (Add-In), HR_IN_MINIMUM_NET. You can use this AddIn to calculate the minimum wage of an employee according to your own requirements, that differ from the standards. For example, you want to configure the minimum wage as a percentage of a particular wage component. In this case, you can set the particular wage component through this Add-In. You must configure the Business Add-In, HR_IN_MINIMUM_NET , through the IMG under Payroll

166

India Deductions Minimum Net Pay Add-In: Minimum Net Pay Value. See also: Arrears Processing for Deductions Arrears Processing for Deductions Use Arrears processing refers to the Voluntary Deductions that are deducted from the net remuneration. You enter these voluntary deductions using deduction wage types in the Recurring Payments/Deductions (0014) and Additional Payment (0015) infotypes, and in country specific infotypes for employer benefits. The system compares the deduction amount with the remaining net amount and, if possible, makes the deduction. When making this comparison the system takes a calculated country-specific minimum net amount into account. Arrears processing is responsible for determining how payroll is performed if the deductions exceed the net remuneration. Your employee takes part in a savings plan which means that a fixed amount is withheld from the net remuneration in each payroll period. Moreover, regular amounts are deducted from the net remuneration and are paid to different institutions or towards company insurance. If the sum of all the deductions is greater than the net amount, then all the deductions that were entered in the master data cannot be made during the payroll process.

167

Unpaid absences, for example, can lead to unexpectedly low net remuneration. If all deductions are taken in full, the difference between total net remuneration and the sum of all deductions becomes an outstanding debt owed to the employee. Integration You make the settings for arrears processing in Customizing for Payroll under Deductions Arrears and Priorities. Features Arrears processing is controlled using deduction wage type characteristics. You assign the following characteristics to deduction wage types for arrears processing: Priority The priority specifies the sequence in which the deduction wage types are processed. If deduction wage types exist with the same priority in payroll, then the system sorts them according to name. If you use the Garnishment component, you should assign the garnishment wage type with the highest priority. Arrears-characteristics You must also specify in Customizing the way in which deduction wage types should be processed if the net amount does not provide sufficient cover. The possibilities available for arrears characteristics are described in detail in Customizing for Payroll under

168

Deductions Arrears and Priorities Define Priority for Deduction Recovery of Rounded Off Amounts Purpose This component: Rounds off the Net Pay wage type (/560) to a suitable denomination as configured by you. Recovers the rounded off amounts from the Net Pay wage type (/560).

Features The Rounding off & recovery of rounded amt payroll function (INROR) generates the following wage types: Recovery of round off amt wage type (/ROR) - This wage type stores the rounded off amounts of Net Pay wage type (/560) for a payroll period. The system generates this wage type during every payroll run including an off-cycle payroll run. The cumulated values for this wage type, stored in the Cumulative Results Table, depends on the cumulation settings in table view Cumulation of Wage Types (V_T54C3). Rounding off adjustment wage type (/ROA) - This wage type stores the recovery of the rounded off amounts. You have been provided with four types of recovery options:

Monthly The system generates the Rounding off adjustment wage type (/ROA) during each of the regular payroll runs. Annual

169

The system generates the Rounding off adjustment wage type (/ROA) in the first regular payroll run of the subsequent financial year.

Calendar Year The system generates the Rounding off adjustment wage type (/ROA) in the first regular payroll run of the subsequent calendar year. Indefinite The system does not generate any Rounding off adjustment wage type (/ROA). No recovery The system does not round off the Net Pay wage type (/560).

The system does not generate the Rounding off adjustment wage type (/ROA) during an off-cycle payroll run. The system generates this wage type in an off-cycle payroll run only when the recovery option in the table view Recovery of rounding off amounts (V_T7INY1) is changed since the previous payroll run. During a retrospective payroll run, the Recovery of rounded amount rule (INRR) brings forward the Rounding off adjustment wage type (/ROA) and the Recovery of round off amt wage type (/ROR) to the current period Results Table. The system subtracts the value of the Rounding off adjustment wage type (/ROA) from the Net Pay wage type (/560). That is, Net Pay wage type (/560) = Net Pay wage type (/560) Rounding off adjustment wage type (/ROA)

170

The system then rounds off the Net Pay wage type (/560) to a suitable denomination as configured by you, to generate the Recovery of round off amt wage type (/ROR). See also: Recovery of Rounded Off Amounts Setup Recovery of Rounded Off Amounts Setup Purpose This process describes the configurations required for the: Rounding off of the Net Pay wage type (/560) to a suitable denomination. Recovery of the rounded off amounts from Net Pay wage type (/560).

Process Flow For a Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances, you can set the following configurations in the IMG under Payroll India Recovery of Rounded Off Amounts Maintain Details for Recovery of Rounded Amounts (V_T7INY1): Round to You must enter the nearest denomination in rupees to which you want the system to round off the value of the Net Pay wage type (/560).

Option You must select the option for the period in which you want the system to recover the rounded off amount.

171

Rnd. off You must select the option (Upper, Lower or Nearest) depending on how you want the system to round off the value of the Net Pay wage type (/560).

You can enter the dates between which these configurations are valid for a Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances.

Result Rounding off & recovery of rounded amt payroll function (INROR) will generate the Recovery of round off amt wage type (/ROR) and Rounding off adjustment wage type (/ROA) according the configurations that you have set. Example An employee belongs to the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances MN01. The value of Net Pay wage type (/560) for the employee in payroll periods under consideration is Rs.10512.21. Some of the configurations that you can set in table view Recovery of rounding off amounts (V_T7INY1) with values of corresponding wage types are: Configurations with values of corresponding wage types Payroll Roun periods d To under consideration Recover y Option Round Off Value of /ROR generated in every payroll period under consideration (Rs.)

Loans Purpose You can use this component to enter, administer and perform payroll for company loans in the SAP system. You can grant an employee company loans for a specific purpose, for example, to build a house or buy a car. This means that the employee is granted an interest rate lower than the markets usual reference interest rate. The employees salary provides your enterprise with security. The amount of administration is kept low as the processing of formalities, payment of the loan, repayment and interest payment by the employee, can simply be processed using Payroll. Features In principal, you can choose between various loan categories in the SAP system, such as installment loans and annuity loans, with different repayment types. To simplify awarding and evaluating the loan, we distinguish between various loan types. Loan types distinguish between loans using the purpose and the loan category, for example, Building loan with installment repayment. At least one loan condition is assigned to a loan type. You set up loan types and loan conditions in the Loans unit in Payroll Customizing. Loan repayment, interest calculation, and, if applicable, imputed income are automatically processed in Payroll and, according to your entries, withheld from

175

the employees salary. The loan accounting data is saved together with the payroll results. You can execute different loan evaluations. One Day Salary Deduction Purpose This component allows voluntary salary deduction for an employee for one or more days. This component also computes the employer contribution for the same amount as that contributed by the employee. One day salary deduction is required in situations such as, contribution to Prime Minister's Relief Fund, Charitable Cause. Features For a Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances, you can maintain the following details for one day salary deduction: Year and Period in which to calculate the salary deduction Calculation Indicator, which could be any one of the following: Nominal Salary/Calendar Days Nominal Salary/Working Days Actual Salary/Calendar Days Actual Salary/Working Days

1DSD Basis Actual wage type (/137) - This is the actual salary for One Day Salary Deduction. This includes loss of pay and overtime. This wage type is calculated by the Gross input and storage rule (X023) of Monthly factoring and storage (cumul.of gross amount) schema (INAL). If

176

the Cumulation Class 37 of any wage type is selected, the Gross input and storage rule (X023) cumulates the value of the wage type in 1DSD Basis Actual wage type (/137). 1DSD Basis Nominal wage type (/136) - This is the nominal salary for One Day Salary Deduction. This wage type does not take into account loss of pay or overtime. This wage type is calculated by the Nominal Cumulation for 1 day salary deduction rule (IN77) of Monthly factoring and storage (cumul.of gross amount) schema (INAL). For the Processing Class 77 of any wage type, if the Specification is set to 1, the Nominal Cumulation for 1 day salary deduction rule (IN77) cumulates the value of the wage type in 1DSD Basis Nominal wage type (/136). The ASOLL and KSOLL fields of the WPBP Internal Table determine, for an employee, the number of working days and calendar days respectively. Factor, which is the number of days of salary that has to be deducted. This factor can be one, less than one or more than one. Whether the employer contributes the same amount as that contributed by the employee, or not You can maintain all this through the IMG under Payroll India One Day Salary Deduction Maintain Details for One Day Salary Deduction. See also: One Day Salary Deduction Calculation

177

One Day Salary Deduction Calculation Purpose This process calculates voluntary salary deduction of an employee for one or more days. If configured to do so, this process also calculates employer contribution for the same amount as that contributed by the employee. Prerequisites You must have maintained the table view One day salary deduction (V_T7INO1) in the IMG under Payroll India One Day Salary Deduction Maintain Details for One Day Salary Deduction. Process Flow One day salary deduction payroll function (INDSD) ... 1. Reads the table view Associating pay parameters to pay scale grouping (V_T7INA3) for the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances of the employee. 2. Reads the following wage types: 1DSD Basis Nominal wage type (/136) 1DSD Basis Actual wage type (/137) 3. Reads the table view One day salary deduction (V_T7INO1) and associates the Pay Scale Grouping for Allowance of the employee with the following details: Year and Period in which to calculate the salary deduction Calculation Indicator Factor

178

Whether the employer contributes the same amount or not 4. Calculates the one day salary according to the Calculation Indicator maintained in table view One day salary deduction (V_T7INO1). One day salary deduction payroll function (INDSD) multiplies this amount by the Factor maintained in the same table view, to generate the Employee 1 day salary deduction wage type (/3OE). That is, /3OE = (/136 or /137) divided by the value of (KSOLL or ASOLL fields in WPBP Internal Table) multiplied by the value of Factor field in table view One day salary deduction (V_T7INO1). 5. Generates the Employer 1 day salary contrib. wage type (/3OF), if the employer has been maintained in table view One day salary deduction (V_T7INO1). The value of this wage type is the same as the value of Employee 1 day salary deduction wage type (/3OE). In case of a retroactive payroll run, the Passing wage types from ORT to IT for 1DSD Retro rule (IN49) checks whether Employee 1 day salary deduction wage type (/3OE) and/or Employer 1 day salary contrib. wage type (/3OF) exists in the Old Results Table. If it does, these wage types are brought forward to the Results Table. During a retroactive payroll run, the values of the Employee 1 day salary deduction wage type (/3OE) and/or Employer 1 day salary contrib. wage type (/3OF) are not recalculated by the One day salary deduction payroll function (INDSD). Result Cumulation of net amount rule (IN30) of Cumulate net amount and form payment amount (International) schema (INA9)

179

Subtracts the value of Employee 1 day salary deduction wage type (/3OE) from Statutory net pay wage type (/550) Adds the value of Employer 1 day salary contrib. wage type (/3OF), if it exists, to Wage/salary + Employer shares wage type (/700)

Example You have maintained the following details in table view One day salary deduction (V_T7INO1) for Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances MN01: Year - 2002 Period - 01 Calculation Indicator - Actual Salary/Calendar Days Factor - 2 Emp.Cont. - Employer also contributes

You run the payroll for an employee, who belongs to Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances MN01, in April 2002. Let Actual Salary of the employee for April 2002 be Rs.3000. Calendar days, KSOLL, for April is equal to 30.

One day salary deduction payroll function (INDSD) reads the table view One day salary deduction (V_T7INO1) for Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances MN01, and generates the following wage types: Employee 1 day salary deduction wage type (/3OE) = Rs. (3000/30) * 2 = Rs. 200 Employer 1 day salary contrib. wage type (/3OF), which is also equal to Rs 200

See also: One Day Salary Deduction Mid Year Go Live Purpose This component helps in transferring legacy payroll results data to the SAP system and in creating payroll results from the transferred legacy data. Mid Year Go-Live functionality is useful if you are implementing SAP Payroll India in the middle of a financial year. In India, the income tax assessment year is from the 1st April to the 31st March and you calculate all applicable taxes on employee salary for this period. When you implement SAP Payroll India in the middle of a financial year, you also need to transfer payroll results for those periods of the financial year that lie before the period, in which you are implementing the SAP Payroll India.

Pre-go-live: This term refers to the periods, for which payroll results are available in the legacy system and need to be transferred to SAP system. Go-live: This term refers to the period, in which you process the first productive payroll run. Features Using the Mid Year Go Live functionality, you can upload the final payroll results from your legacy data systems into the SAP system. The final payroll results are the actual payments and deductions of an employee salary. They must include statutory, non-statutory deductions (including third party deductions), arrears and the contributions of the employer.

181

For transferring your legacy data and uploading the same into the SAP system, you are provided with the: HR Template - Payroll.xls (Microsoft Excel) file, containing templates that drive the data load programs, for converting the legacy data. Data load program(HINUULK0 ) that facilitates the transfer of data into the SAP system. It loads the data saved in the spreadsheet into the Payroll Account Transfer: Payroll Periods table (T558B) and Payroll Account Transfer: Old Wage Types table (T558C) in the SAP system. These are the data conversion tables for the Mid Year Go Live functionality. Standard executableschema (INLK) that formats the uploaded legacy data, into SAP Payroll Period results and stores the results in relevant payroll cluster tables.

Constraints For retrospective calculation of payments and deductions, the earliest date that you can set is the start date of the period, in which you are processing the first productive payroll run. You can however, manually capture any adjustments for the past periods in specific wage types. See also: Transferring Legacy Payroll Results Transferring Legacy Payroll Results Purpose This process describes the method of transferring your legacy payroll results into the SAP system. It discusses the various processes involved in uploading the payroll results into the SAP system, and in converting the data into SAP payroll results. The following are the main stages in the process of transferring the legacy payroll results:

182

... HR Template - Payroll.xls file, wherein you enter the legacy payroll results. Data transfer INLK Payroll Tables T558B and T558C Upload program (HINUULK0), which reads the payroll results information from the spreadsheet template, and uploads it into the Payroll Account Transfer: Payroll Periods table (T558B) and Payroll Account Transfer: Old Wage Types table (T558C). The system reads these tables for the purpose of payroll conversion. Transfer of payroll account from Table 5558B,C - India schema (INLK), which when run as a part of the payroll program, HINCALCO, ... Reads the payroll conversion tables Payroll Account Transfer: Payroll Periods (T558B) and Payroll Account Transfer: Old Wage Types (T558C) Converts the payroll results stored in these tables into SAP payroll clusters. Prerequisites ... You have completed the entire configuration, with respect to Payroll India. The Payroll Periods are set up from the earliest hire date to the present. Valid employee records exist for the following infotypes: Actions infotype (0000) Organizational Assignment infotype (0001) Personal Data infotype (0002) Planned Working Timeinfotype (0007) Basic Pay infotype (0008) Bank Details infotype (0009) Family/ Related Personinfotype (0021)

The legacy upload process refers to these infotype records for validation. These validations are date driven and applicable for all the pay periods that you are converting. You must check all of the above mentioned infotype records for data validity periods. All data must be valid from the first pay period of the employee with the exception of Actions infotype (0000), Organizational Assignment infotype (0001)and Personal Data infotype (0002). In these three infotypes, the date is as per the Hiring action.

The Payroll Control Records are set for retro-calculation only from the go-live date. Hiring of an employee in the SAP system creates the Payroll Status infotype (0003) for that employee. The system updates the Earliest MD Change field of this infotype with the start date of the Actions infotype (0000) record of the employee. If you try to calculate retrospectively, the system attempts a retrospective calculation on the payroll results uploaded from legacy systems, leading to an error in computation.

184

You have generated the payroll periods for all payroll areas, and payroll control records exist for these areas. Process Flow ... HR Template - Payroll.xls file - In this file you enter payroll results for the pay periods that you want to upload into the SAP system. This spreadsheet template file consists of two worksheets: Worksheet 558b, where you define the payroll periods for which you are transferring the payroll results. You must define these payroll periods for individual employees. In this sheet you also specify the payroll periods that are for a regular payroll run and those that are for an off cycle payroll run. In this sheet, you indicate the chronological sequence of payroll runs to be loaded for the employee. It is recommended that you load one payroll area at a time into the payroll conversion tables. Dividing the data into smaller groups can help reduce the processing time, and avoid data entry errors. Worksheet 558c, where you define the wage types for which you are transferring payroll results. For every payroll period that you define in the 558B, you must create corresponding wage type entries in 558C. The system validates the wage types against the Wage Type Valuation table (T512W). Therefore, ensure that these wage types exist in the system before starting your legacy payroll results transfer. When you save your entries, the in built macro in the HR Template - Payroll.xls file saves the two worksheets into

185

separate tab-delimited text files (T558B.txt and T558C.txt). Ensure that you save the file using the Save for transfer option available in the worksheet 558B. When saving text files to your local hard drive, the total path name must not be longer than 128 characters, or the data conversion INLK Payroll Tables T558B and T558C Upload program (HINUULKO), will not be able to read the full path or filename. When you select the Save for transfer option, any data existing earlier in the same file is replaced with the new data that you have inserted. You will not get any message or warning. Data Load Program (HINUULK0) - This program reads the data saved in the two text (.txt) files T558B.txt and T558C.txt, and uploads them into the SAPconversion tables. It saves the data from the T558B.txt file into the Payroll Account Transfer: Payroll Periods table (T558B) and data from T558C.txt file into the Payroll Account Transfer: Old Wage Types table (T558C). Transfer of payroll account from Table 5558B,C India schema (INLK) - When you run the Payroll Driver HINCALCO with the special results Transfer of payroll account from Table 5558B,C India Schema (INLK), the schema reads the conversion tables for pay period and wage type information, and generates payroll result clusters. The Transfer of payroll account from Table 5558B,C India schema (INLK) utilizes a function TRANS, during the conversion process. This function reads the wage type and payroll period information from the conversion tables, and stores them in the internal tables. The

186

schema then further processes the information to form the payroll results. While creating wage types in the internal tables, the function TRANS, assigns relevant country specific split indicators to the wage types. You, thus, have the flexibility of capturing configurations for Provident Fund, Professional Tax, Employee State Insurance and Labour Welfare Fund, thereby enabling report generation. The rules of the Transfer of payroll account from Table 5558B,C India schema (INLK) are applicable on the standard wage types of the SAP system. You must copy and modify the same for your equivalent wage types. Once the Transfer of payroll account from Table 5558B,C India schema (INLK) completes the conversion program, it is recommended that you verify the data for accuracy. You can examine data for individual employees using the Cluster Display IN (Payroll Results, India) program (HINCLSTR). If the data is accurate, you may delete the data in the conversion tables, and load the payroll results for the remaining legacy payroll periods. If there are errors in conversion delete the payroll results and re-execute the data load process. For more information, refer to the IMG under Payroll India Legacy Data Transfer. SAP recommends that you do not use the Transfer of payroll account from Table 5558B,C India schema (INLK), after you have processed a regular payroll run in the SAP system. Post conversion processing For all employees for whom you have uploaded the payroll results, you must set the following to the Go-Live Date:

Earliest Retro Recalculation date Earliest Master Data Change date Earliest Master Data Change Bonus date Termination Workbench Purpose This component helps in terminating an employee from the payroll. The Termination Workbench computes the various types of payments due to, or payable by the employee at the time of termination. For example, Gratuity, Superannuation, Leave Encashment or any pending Reimbursable allowances. The termination of employment may be due to the: Resignation of an employee Retirement of an employee Voluntary retirement or premature retirement by an employee For information on setting up the Termination Workbench functionality in the SAP system, refer to the IMG under Payroll India Termination Workbench. Integration Contract Elements infotype (0016) Where you maintain the details of the employment contract, between the company and the employee. Termination Workbench determines the notice period for termination using this infotype. Date Specificationsinfotype (0041) Where you maintain the date of Normal Retirement of the employee. Termination Workbench computes the relief on Voluntary Retirement Service benefit for the employee using the data maintained in this infotype.

188

Personal IDsinfotype (0185) Termination Workbench obtains the Gratuity and Superannuation Trust details for the employee from the infotype. Additional Paymentsinfotype (0015) After the transaction is complete, Termination Workbench updates the payment records in the Additional Payments infotype (0015). The updated amounts are disbursed to the employee through the payroll run, along with other components of the salary. Actions infotype (0000) When an employee is terminated using the Termination Workbench, the Termination Workbench delimits the employee in the Actions infotype (0000). Features The Termination Workbench comprises of the following processes: Termination transaction (PC00_M40_TERM)- Using this transaction you can specify the details of employee Gratuity, Superannuation, Leave Encashment, Voluntary Retirement Services and Reimbursable Allowances. The transaction reads the relevant infotypes and determines the amounts payable to the employee. For example, amounts payable as Gratuity, Superannuation, Notice Pay and Leave Encashment. You can modify these amounts using the transaction. When you execute the transaction, it updates the relevant wage types in the Additional Payments infotype (0015). This transaction also creates a batch session for delimiting the infotype records. Batch Input Monitoring transaction (SM35) Using this transaction, you can execute the batch session created by the Termination transaction (PC00_M40_TERM).

189

Upon execution, the batch session delimits the infotypes configured for delimiting, in the infogroup. For more information on configuring the infogroup, refer to the IMG under Payroll India Termination Workbench Define Infogroups. The batch session also delimits the employee in the Actions infotype (0000). You can set the Return Action Type for Termination Workbench feature (40TRM) for the Action Type to be defaulted in Actions infotype (0000) when the infotype record gets delimited. You can do this in the IMG under Payroll India Termination Create reasons for Personnel Actions. Payroll when you execute the payroll for the period in which the employee was terminated, the payroll processes the amounts payable at the time of termination. For example, Notice Pay, Gratuity, Superannuation and Leave Encashment. The payroll also calculates the applicable exemptions. See also: Termination Workbench Definition Termination Workbench Computations Termination Workbench Definition Purpose This process describes the Termination Workbench configurations. For example, configurations for calculation of Gratuity, Superannuation or Notice Pay by the Termination Workbench. Prerequisites You have maintained the details of the employment contract in the Contract Elements infotype (0016), including the Period of Notice.

Prerequisites You have set the configurations required for the Termination transaction PC00_M40_TERM. You have maintained the details of the employment contract in the Contract Elements infotype (0016), including the Period of Notice.

Process Flow Superannuation While computing Superannuation, the Termination Workbench: Checks for the Continuous Years of Service entry on the Termination Payment Details screen, of the Termination transaction (PC00_M40_TERM).

197

Checks for the Trust ID of the employee, maintained in the Personal IDs infotype (0185). Indirectly evaluates the Basis amount for Superannuation. For more information on configurations for Indirect Evaluations, refer to Indirect Evaluation.

Determines the Factor for Superannuation. You can maintain the factor for Superannuation using the IMG under Payroll India Termination Maintain Factor for retiral benefits. Computations Termination transaction (PC00_M40_TERM) computes Superannuation using the formula: Superannuation = Basis amount obtained through Indirect Evaluation Multiplied by Factor that is maintained in the table view Factor for retiral benefits (V_T7INZ1) Multiplied by Continuous Years of Service maintained in Termination Payment Details screen Termination Workbench performs a similar set of computations for Superannuation and Gratuity. For an illustration of the computations, refer to the Computations section, under Gratuity.

Gratuity While computing Gratuity, the Termination Workbench:

198

Checks for the Number of Years of service entry on the Termination Payment Details screen. Trust ID for the employee in the Personal IDs infotype (0185). Indirectly Evaluates the Basis amount for Gratuity. The payment of Gratuity can be as per the Gratuity Act or not as per the Gratuity Act. The method of computing the Basis for gratuity depends on the wage type you have configured in for the Gratuity tax codes. For example, assign the Taxation as per gratuity act tax code (SAGA) to the Gratuity wage type (MPG0). Assign the Taxation as per non gratuity act tax code (SNGA) to the Gratuity wage type (MPG1). You can configure the tax codes for Gratuity in the IMG under Payroll India Tax Tax Liability on Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Assign Tax Code Limits to Wage Types.

Determines the Factor for Gratuity. For configuring the calculation factor for Gratuity, refer to the IMG under Payroll India Termination Maintain Calculation Factor for Retiral Benefits.

Computations The Termination transaction (PC00_M40_TERM) computes Gratuity using the formula: Gratuity = Basis amount obtained through Indirect Evaluation Multiplied by Factor that is maintained in the table view Factor for retiral benefits (V_T7INZ1)

199

Multiplied by Continuous Years of Service maintained in Termination Payment Details screen For example, in your company, gratuity is computed as: Gratuity = 15 days of gratuity per month (taken as 26 working days) Multiplied by Current basis salary Multiplied by Number of Years of service As the Termination Workbench computes Gratuity using a combination of the Indirect Evaluation configurations for the basis wage type and the Gratuity Factor, you can set the: Indirect valuation variant for gratuity wage type as B and the percentage for this wage type as 57.69 (15/26), in the table view Base Wage Type Valuation (V_T539J). You must set the fixed amount to zero in table view Reimbursement allowances perks - eligibility and calculation (V_T7INA9). Factor to 100 in the table view Factor for retiral benefits (V_T7INZ1). Leave Encashment The Termination transaction (PC00_M40_TERM) computes the amount payable to the employee as Leave Encashment, based on the months that you specify in the Earned Leave Entitlement and Earned Leave Availed fields. The computed amount is displayed against the Leave Encashment wage type (MLE0) in the Payments / Deductions section.

200

You can configure the components of the basis salary for Leave Encashment in the IMG under Payroll India Reimbursements, Allowances & Perks Maintain Pay Scale Groups and Levels. Notice Pay There are two methods for computing the Notice Pay amount: ... 1. Compute the prorated Notice Pay amount separately for every month remaining in the Notice Period and then compute the total Notice Pay amount. 2. Prorate the Notice Pay amount for the remaining days in the Notice Period, based on the number of days in the month of leaving. For example, an employee resigns on 31st May. The Notice Period is three months, however, the employee decides to leave on 15th July. According to company policy only the Basic Salary is used for computing the Notice Pay. Method 1 Notice Pay = (Basic * Number of days of notice period not served in July / Number of days in July) + (Basic * Number of days of notice period not served in August / Number of days in August) = (16,000 * 16/31)+ (16,000 * 1) = 24,258.06 Method 2 - Notice pay = Basic * (Number of days notice period not served) / (No. Of days in month of leaving) = 16000 * 47/31 = 24258.06 You configure the method to be used in the IMG under Payroll India Termination Workbench Calculation Method for Notice Pay.

201

Termination Workbench computes Notice Pay for the employee and displays the computed amount in the Termination Payment Details screen only when you select the Reason as Resignation in the Initial Entry screen. Voluntary Retirement Service (VRS) If you have specified the Reason for leaving as Voluntary Retirement in the Initial Entry screen, the Payments / Deductions section will display the VRS amount against the VRS wage type. The system Indirectly Evaluates the VRS amount based on the default VRS amount. You can store a default VRS amount through the IMG under Payroll India Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks Maintain Pay Scale Groups and Levels. Reimbursable Allowances Termination Workbench determines the amount payable to the employee as a reimbursable allowance, based on: Employee eligibility Amount already claimed by the employee The Termination transaction (PC00_M40_TERM) displays the reimbursement wage types in the Terminal Details screen, under the Payments / Deductions section.

Exemptions on Gratuity Purpose This section describes the process followed by the SAP system, while computing exemptions on Gratuity. Process Flow Gratuity contribution taxationpayroll function (INGTX), computes the exemptions on the gratuity, received by an employee at the time of termination or retirement. Exemption on gratuity is available in cases of: Termination Retirement In both termination and retirement, exemption is given on Gratuity in the following cases: Termination/retirement period is the same as the Gratuity payment period Termination/retirement period is before the Gratuity payment period in the same financial year or another financial year. All payments made after termination/retirement are exempted from tax subject to the Gratuity exemption limit. Exemption on Gratuity is not given in the following cases: Gratuity payment period is before the Termination/retirement period. Termination/retirement period is before the Gratuity payment period but the Gratuity payment is made in a financial year, which is after the termination/retirement

212

year. Also, the payment is made with effect from a period (falling in a year before the financial year), in which the actual payment is made. In this case, Section 89(1) Relief on the Gratuity is given to the employee. For example, the employee was terminated in February 2003. Gratuity payment is made to the employee in June 2004 with effect from March 2003. In this case, the employee does not get Gratuity exemption, instead the employee gets Section 89(1) Relief on the Gratuity payment. Gratuity contribution taxationpayroll function (INGTX) computes the exemption on gratuity as a minimum of the following three factors: ... Gratuity payments received Tax limit Number of months of salary for every completed year of service Gratuity payments received Gratuity contribution taxationpayroll function (INGTX) checks the internal table for the Gratuity wage types and obtains the Gratuity amount. The Termination Workbench computes the Gratuity amount and stores the wage type for Gratuity in the Additional Payments infotype (0015). This wage type stores information on the amount (in the amount field BETRG) and the number of months of gratuity paid (in the number field ANZHL). You can also directly enter the Gratuity amount in the Additional Payments infotype (0015). During payroll processing, the Processing request for additional payments function (P0015) reads the Additional Payments infotype (0015) and stores the wage type for Gratuity in the internal table (IT).

213

Gratuity payments can be of two types: As per the gratuity act In this case, Gratuity contribution taxation payroll function (INGTX) checks the internal table for the gratuity wage type that is associated with the tax code SAGA. Gratuity recieved wage type (MPG0) is the model wage type for gratuity payments as per the gratuity act.

As per company policy When the gratuity paid by the company is higher than the limits set by the Payment of Gratuity Act. In this case, Gratuity contribution taxation payroll function (INGTX) checks for the gratuity wage type associated with the tax code SNGA. Gratuity received wage type (MPG1) is the model wage type for the gratuity paid as per company policy. To identify the tax codes for gratuity and the gratuity wage types associated with the two tax codes, the Gratuity contribution taxation payroll function (INGTX) checks the table view Taxability of wage types (V_T7INT9). It also determines the eligibility for gratuity through Pay Scale Grouping for Allowances from the table view Reimbursement Allowances Perks - eligibility and calculation (V_T7INA9). After identifying the wage type, associated with the tax code SNGA or SAGA, the Gratuity contribution taxation payroll function (INGTX) checks for these wage types in the internal table.

Ensure that you have configured the eligibility wage types (MPG0 and MPG1) as Gratuity, in the table view Reimbursement Allowances Perks - eligibility and calculation (V_T7INA9). Gratuity is an option under the Reimbursement/ allowance/perk indicator field. For more information, see Gratuity.

214

Tax limit Gratuity contribution taxation payroll function (INGTX) checks for the maximum amount of gratuity that can be exempt from tax. The maximum limit is as specified by the authorities. You can view the tax limit for the tax code SAGA using the table view Taxability of wage types (V_T7INT9). If the employee, in any previous employment, received an exemption on the gratuity amount, the Gratuity contribution taxation payroll function (INGTX) will reduce the maximum limit on exemption by the amount already availed. You can maintain the Gratuity exemption, claimed in a previous employment using the Previous Employment Tax Details infotype (0580). The Gratuity Exemption wage type (/4V8) stores the previous exemption amount. Number of months of salary for every completed year of service Payment as per Gratuity Act In this case, gratuity is computed as the product of: No. of years of continuous service The termination workbench calculates the number of years of service based on the employment Start Date and End Date. In the Termination Workbench, you have the option of overwriting the value computed by the Termination Workbench. Multiplication Factor for gratuity, which is equal to (K1 * 12) / 1000 K1 is the 1000*Stat Gratuity contrb perc constant (GRYCO), stored in the table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K). This factor is as defined by the Gratuity Act.

215

Latest Nominal Basis Gratuity contribution taxation payroll function (INGTX) takes the last nominal basis as the current nominal basis, and it makes use of the Last nominal basis rule (INLN) to obtain this value.

Payment as per Company Policy If the payment of gratuity is as per company policy, the system computes gratuity as the product of: No. of years of service The system computes this in a manner similar to that for the Payment as per Gratuity Act.

Multiplication Factor for gratuity, which is equal to K2, divided by ten. K2 is the constant (GRYTX) in the table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K). The value of this factor can be as per the company policy. Average Monthly Salary The system computes the Average Monthly Salary as the average of the basis salary for a pre-defined number of months, preceding the period of termination or retirement. The Current nominal basis wage type (/129) stores the monthly basis salary for Gratuity. The No. of months for avg. salary constant (GRAVS) of table view Payroll Constants (V_T511K) stores the pre-defined number of months for computing the Average Monthly Salary. The value is as specified by the authorities. If basis salary data for the required number of months is not available in the SAP system, you can enter the same through the Additional Payments infotype (0015). Ensure that you pass the wage type for average salary as the first parameter (param 1),

216

to the Gratuity contribution taxation payroll function (INGTX). You can use the model wage type Avg sal pre-instln wage type (MLIN) to create the wage type for average salary. After selecting the minimum of the three exemption factors, Gratuity contribution taxation payroll function (INGTX) generates the Gratuity Cont. Exemption wage type (/4E8), in which it stores the current exemption on Gratuity. Result When you process the payroll for the employee in a period after termination/retirement, the system will import the Gratuity exemption results, from the termination/retirement period into the period under consideration. The Processing the last results table payroll function (PLRT) makes use of the B/F Termination related exemptions for Payroll after termination rule (INTT) to import the results. The rule checks the Last Results Table (LRT) for the gratuity wage types and imports them into the current period. The system does not make any changes in the imported results. Superannuation Purpose This component is used to process Superannuation for an employee. Superannuation is a benefit provided to an employee on cessation of employee services. To give this benefit to an employee, the employer contributes to a Superannuation trust on a monthly or yearly basis. There is no similar contribution from employee. This component does not form a part of the monthly pay slip and is not taxable.

217

Integration Payroll Process Superannuation contributions are computed by the system as a part of the regular payroll process Termination Workbench The Termination Workbench computes the Superannuation payable to an employee at the time of termination of employment. During a regular payroll run, the system computes the Superannuation and stores the results in provisional wage types. Features The Superannuation component comprises: Personal IDs infotype (0185) Superannuation for India subtype (01) In the subtype, you maintain the Identification Number of the employee and the name of the trust, in which you are contributing for Superannuation. Superannuation report (HINCSAN0) Using this report you can generate a Superannauation List. This list gives an employee wise contribution towards a Superannuation trust, for a specified period. See also: Superannuation Configuration Superannuation Configuration Purpose This process describes the configurations for Superannuation.
