Employment contracts

Employee associated with the work contract.

This field is automatically populated with the number of employment contracts when the employee's identity is entered.

• Multicontract employees: they can have several contract chronos as the same time. In that case, totals are managed by contract (different totals for each contract).
  
• Employees subject to a single contract: the initial contract and the additional clauses are archived in a single contract chrono. Totals can be canceled by selecting the 'Reset to zero totals' box.
  It is also possible to create another contract chrono following the previous one, for example in the case of a new arrival after a final exit. Previous totals no longer need to be retrieved.

Specify the date on which the contract mentioned hereafter becomes effective.
The date is the hiring date when the 'Hiring date initialization' field is selected in the Reasons for arrival of an employee function;
Otherwise, it is the date on which a contractual modification which justifies the generation of an additional clause is taken into account.

In multi-legislated folders (where the LEG activity code is active), the Legislation fields are displayed.

• If a legislation has been set in the LEGFIL (Legislation selection filter) parameter (SUP chapter, INT group), it is used as the default but can be changed if needed.
• If LEGFIL has no legislation set, there will not be a default, so the Legislation field will have to be entered appropriately.

If a legislation is entered in the record header, other fields entered must follow any rules applicable to the legislation.

If a legislation is not entered in the record header, it might be deduced from another element (such as the company, site, or employee) and again, other fields entered must follow any rules applicable to the legislation.

If a multi-legislation group of companies is selected, other fields entered must follow any rules applicable to the legislation of at least one company in the group.

The Creation date and Period end date fields are specific to South Africa and Ghana legislations.

These dates are automatically filled by the system. They are used to know in which pay month the contract was created and terminated in order to determine the employee status for reports, that is to say if the employee is New, Active or Terminated as well as Future terminated, Current termination or Old termination (statuses used in the reports). For example, if the status is New, it means the employee and the contract have never been included in previous reports. If the status is Active, it means the employee and the contract have already been included in reports and continue to be included in reports. If the status is Terminated, it means this is the last time the employee and the contract will be included in reports.

When a new contract is created, the creation date defaults from:

• The creation date of the previous chrono-contract in the case a of new chrono-contract with the same chrono-contract number
• The end date of the pay month in the case of new chrono-contract with a new chrono-contract number

In case of patch installation, the creation date defaults from the seniority date (filled in the Seniority date field in the same block).

They are used to know in which pay month the contract was created and terminated in order to determine the employee status for reports, that is to say if the employee is New, Active or Terminated as well as Future terminated, Current termination or Old termination (statuses used in the reports). For example, if the status is New, it means the employee and the contract have never been included in previous reports. If the status is Active, it means the employee and the contract have already been included in reports and continue to be included in reports. If the status is Terminated, it means this is the last time the employee and the contract will be included in reports.

The period end date is used to see in which period the employee's contract was terminated, irrespective of the employee's contract end date. It defaults from the end date of the pay month, and only if the contract Final exit check box is selected.

Enter the code of the employee's payslip, if it is different from the code defined in the parameter value management, BUL chapter, NOMRPTBUL parameter, for the employee's site or company.

Select this box if a new payslip needs to be generated for this specific contract record. For example, if the role of an employee is changed in the middle of the month, two payslips can be generated : A payslip for the start of the month (or the period of activity) on the last date corresponding to the initial role (defined by the end date);and a payslip from their transfer date to their new role (defined by the transfer reason and the effective date)until the end of the month.

Clear this box if the payment details for this contract record must be consolidated on the same payslip as the previous contract record. For example, if the employee's contract is modified in the middle of the month with the start reason code for an hourly capacity change, two payslips will not be needed.

• Selected -

• For those employees signing their first employment contracts
• For back-pay payments (the Back-pay box is selected)
• For a payment made after an employee has left the company (the Start reason code is set to 'VAR' (Payment after exit))

Otherwise, leave the field as it is, with the 'No' value.

Net to gross payroll calculation.
Performing this payroll calculation will generate a payslip having an 'objective' heading set to a given value, by varying the value of a secondary variable. For instance, the aim can be to vary payslips with a net salary set according to the employee, by modifying their basic salary. In this case:

• The 'objective' heading is SAL_NET (net salary).
• The 'variable' element is SALAIRE (basic salary).
• The 'objective' variable, for instance NET_PAE, is used to enter the value of the required net salary for each employee.

Performing this payroll calculation will generate a payslip having an 'objective' heading set to a given value, by varying the value of a secondary variable. For instance, the aim can be to vary payslips with a net salary set according to the employee, by modifying their basic salary. In this case:

• The 'objective' heading is SAL_NET (net salary).
• The 'variable' element is SALAIRE (basic salary).

If the employee benefits from a regular prepayment (each month), specify the amount of this prepayment and the day of payment.

Enter a decimal value in this field. This value is then linked to a variable on the payslip. This variable is the one that you have set in the VARMTH – Initial base salary general parameter (chapter BUL, group MIS).

Example:

• You have set the VARMTH - Initial base salary parameter to VENCIMENTO (the VENCIMENTO variable).
• In the Initial base salary field, you have entered 1700.00.
  = The value of the VENCIMENTO variable on the payslip is then 1700.00.

Enter a decimal value in this field. This value is linked to a variable on the payslip. This variable is the one that you have set in the VARHRS – Initial contractual hours general parameter (chapter BUL, group MIS).

You can set the description you want for this field in the FLDCTR1 - Title of field in work contract general parameter (chapter PAY, group PER).

Enter a decimal value in this field. This value is linked to a variable on the payslip. This variable is the one that you have set in the VARZON1 – Free field general parameter (chapter BUL, group MIS).

Example:

• You have set the FLDCTR1 - Title of field in work contract parameter to ‘Fixed allowance’.
  = The Free field (ZON1) field is then named Fixed allowance.
• You have set the VARZON1 – Free field parameter to T_SUBALIM (the T_SUBALIM variable).
• In the Free field (ZON1) field, you have entered 240.00.
  = The value of the T_SUBALIM variable on the payslip is then 240.00.

This field, which cannot be accessed, displays the update type for an employee.

Manual update
Manual update means that you have manually added an employee to the population using the Employee selection action or the Others tab of the Employee record.

If the update is a manual process, the employee can only be removed from the population in a manual way.

Automatic update
Automatic update means that you have used the update population functionality (Population update button in the action panel): the employees who meet the membership criteria defined in the Rule field are automatically upload in the table.

If the update is an automatic process, the deletion of the employee from the current population, which is performed in this function or the employee record, is only temporary. To permanently delete an employee from a population group, you should modify the membership criteria, then refresh the list.

• If this box is selected, the rest of the tab can be accessed, entered and:
• upon contract creation, the values are initialized with the ones defined for the employee,
• upon contract duplication, the values are initialized with the ones defined in the original contract.
• If this box is not selected, no information is initialized and none can be entered, the tab is erased and grayed out.  
  

According to the value of the CTRCPT - Accounting info in contract parameter (CPT chapter, MIS group), the 'Accounting information in contract' box can be selected or not:

• if the parameter is set to 'Yes': this box, which is not selected by default when creating a new contract, can be selected;
• if the parameter is set to 'All': this box, which is selected by default when creating a new contract, can be selected or cleared;
• if the parameter is set to 'No': this box cannot be selected.

The individual account associated with an ID number is used in the following three cases:

 When the payroll MO is calculated, if control accounts are set up in the payroll heading accounting interface.

 When the payment slips are validated, if control accounts are set up in the accounts associated with the payment type.

 When the profit-sharing elements are posted, if control accounts are set up in the accounts associated with the profit-sharing codes.

If this field is entered and an accounting is associated with the folder, this field must match a BP-type account.

The accounting modifier associated with an employee ID is a code referenced in the Access codes table. An employee-type accounting code, with the form xxx10, and which applies to a 64100 account, will return the 64110 account.

Use the analytical distribution keys to automatically distribute the amount of a general accounting posting line onto several analytical lines based on weighing coefficients.

The analytical distribution key contains one to ten alphanumeric characters.

An analytical axis is defined by a code of 3 characters. It corresponds to a particular subdivision of the enterprise for analytical purposes. In fact for a given axis, it is possible to associate a chart of analytical dimensions.

There are 1 to 9 analytical axis available in a given accounting reference as well as a chart of accounts (often called a chart of natures).

A company can use 1 to 9 accounting references (some analytical, some not). The analytical references can share the analytical charts or use different ones. It is the accounting template that defines the combination of references used by a group of companies.

An analytical dimension is an element of the analytical chart of accounts on which accounting entries can be posted.

Each analytical dimension type represents a specific division of the company into a set of analytical payment attributes.

An analytical dimension is thus an analytical payment attribute within a dimension type.

Specify the default allocation key or dimension for each dimension type. These elements can be used to initialize the analytical time entry and the analytical entry of each salary slip, based on the initialization type associated with each dimension type.

The four initialization types are the following:

Conservation

The analytical allocation is identical to that of the previous payroll.

Cancellation

No analytical distribution

Standard

Default dimension

Time upd

Based on the analytical allocation of the time entered over a given period.

This field can take the following values:

• 'Inactive': in the case of a standard amendment,
• 'In progress': in the case of an amendment with backpay, the status remains in progress until the creation of the associated backpay record (in the Backpay function),
• 'Validated': when the amendment with backpay has been processed as part of the payroll process. The information in the grid is then grayed out and cannot be modified.

Date from which the additional clause to the work contract is taken into consideration.

This button is used to load the grid containing the fields used for the back-pay.

The fields that appear in the grid correspond to those fields with their 'Backpay' box selected in the 'Employee field dictionary' function (see the Miscellaneous prerequisites

The date of the period corresponds to the date previously entered and used as the basis for the back-pay.

This variable specifies by default the original values in the various contracts (the original dates or the other values before they are modified for the backpay).

This variable specifies by default the destination values in the various contracts (the effective dates or the other values after the modification is performed for the backpay).

The destination values can be modified here. These new values are then taken into account for records and calculations.

If the Excp. hazardous cond in cont box is selected, hazardous work conditions can be managed at contract level.
