Modifying delivered nonbasic earnings accrual.
In PeopleSoft Global Payroll for Spain, two types of earnings exist: basic earnings and nonbasic earnings. Nonbasic earnings are earnings that are paid infrequently, can be fixed or varied amounts, and can not be included in an employee's annual income. The list of nonbasic earnings includes complements, nonsalary earnings, and salary in kind. Examples are pay for holiday work, reimbursements for business travel expenses, and special interest rates for loans.

This section discusses:
Complement earnings.
Work completed complements.
Company situation complements.
Complements complete the final gross pay for an employee or group of employees. They can be calculated as a flat amount or as a formula.
All of the complements discussed in this section are treated the same way during the payroll calculation process. They all accumulate their values to salary earnings, taxable base, and the employee's social security contribution base.
Three types of complement earnings exist:
Personal conditions.
Work completed.
Company's situation and results.
PeopleSoft Global Payroll for Spain provides the complements listed subsequently for positive input only. They are not mentioned in the labor agreement component and are not associated with any calculations. You must attach any calculation rules.
Note. Complements for personal conditions are considered basic earnings and are discussed in another chapter in this PeopleBook.

Work completed complements are based on the special requirements of a particular job. Typical work complements include nighttime complements and toxicity or hazard complements.
Generally this type of compensation is a percentage of the salary base. Sometimes it can be calculated as a formula depending on the number of hours worked under those conditions. The elements used for this type of earning are variables.
The rules for nighttime, holiday, and toxicity or hazard complements are based on labor agreements and are subject to change. For example, a new labor agreement may enlarge the time frame of the nighttime complement.
Work performed between the hours of 22:00 and 06:00 is considered nighttime work and must be compensated at a higher rate than normal.
Typically, the calculation rule for the nighttime complement is either a flat amount for each day worked in that timetable or a rate based on a regular hourly value.
For a flat amount, the number of days worked is multiplied by the flat amount defined in the labor agreement. For example, if the flat amount is 20 EUR and the number of late nights worked is four, then a total of 80 EUR is the nighttime complement.
If employees work during a holiday, they get some additional compensation. Labor agreements usually specify the amounts to be paid for working on Sundays or on holidays. You can calculate an employee's holiday complement by multiplying the special rate by the number of holidays worked.
An employee who works with hazardous or toxic materials or who has a dangerous job gets a hazard complement. The details of the hazard complement are in the labor agreement.
Only the actual days worked in these conditions are paid with this complement.
The calculation rule for the hazard complement element is similar to the nighttime complement—either a Flat amount or the Base time Percentage formula applies.
Note. PeopleSoft Global Payroll for Spain delivers these work-completed complements (such as the nighttime, holiday, and toxicity or hazard complements) as sample data. Enter the value as positive input for every period. You can also modify the calculation rules to fit your company's needs.
Complementary Hours for Part-time Payees
A part-time payee can work hours in addition to the amount specified in a labor contract. The system considers these additional hours as complementary instead of overtime if they:
Apply only to an unlimited part-time contract with distributed activity or nonconcentrated schedules. This excludes unlimited discontinuous part-time payees, part-time payees with limited contracts, and unlimited part-time payees with concentrated schedules.
Are the result of an agreement between the company and payee as part of the contract.
Do not exceed 15% of the scheduled hours specified in the contract.
Note. This percentage can be increased through a labor agreement but it can never be higher than 60%.
Company situation complements are typically related to company profits and incentives and are more subjective than other complements. Sometimes, a labor agreement details these complements for a company's general objectives. Other times, these complements are addressed in a company or employee contract.
The values of these complements are variable and are currently entered into the system by positive input.
Profit Participants Complement
This complement depends on the company's earnings results. It can be defined annually or monthly, for example, depending on the company.
The incentive policy must be defined at the beginning of the period that the company considers a measure to appoint different milestones.
The complement can be defined as a total amount when the whole objective is achieved.
For example, a company's goal is to produce 10 million screws within a defined time period. The production of 10 million screws would grant the entire incentive complement. No incentive complement is supplied for missing the production goal.
The complement can also be defined as a percentage dependent upon the grade of achievement.
In our example, assume that the incentive complement is in direct proportion to the number of screws produced. The production of 9 million screws would yield 90 percent of the incentive complement.
You must manually record the incentive amounts into the system using positive input.
This section discusses:
Nonsalary earning calculation.
Travel expense earnings.
Dietas earnings.
Nonsalary earnings are exempt from taxes and social security contributions in certain situations. Because of this, the system handles nonsalary earnings differently, depending on their amounts.
Each earning has a statutory maximum daily amount exempt from tax and social security contributions, which varies by fiscal territory. Update these rates using the Fiscal Territories component.
See Calculating Taxes.
Any reimbursement over the statutory maximum is subject to taxes and Social Security contributions. Likewise, the entire amount must be accumulated over total earnings, but only the amounts in excess of the statutory maximum must be accumulated over the taxable and social security base.
You calculate these earnings by entering the number of days and the total amount of the complement in the amount through positive input.
As a result of the calculation, PeopleSoft Global Payroll for Spain provides three different elements for every nonsalary earning:
One earning: Represents the total amount that the employee receives.
One earning (the name includes the letters EX): Represents the amount that exceeds the maximum taxable exempted.
One deduction (the name includes the letter EXX): Represents the amount that exceeds the maximum taxable exempted.

Reviewing and Updating System Information
Salary in kind are goods or services provided for the employee at a rate lower than the market price. PeopleSoft Global Payroll for Spain delivers a low interest loan benefit and life insurance as not passed on, and company car as passed on.
Although salary in kind is fully taxable, it may contribute fully or only partially to the Social Security base depending on its source. When a company provides salary in kind as part of normal labor agreement or contract agreement, the salary in kind contributes fully to the Social Security base. If, however, the company provides salary in kind voluntarily then a certain amount of it is exempt from contributing to the Social Security base.
To determine whether voluntary salary in kind is exempt, compare the sum of all the earnings considered as salary in kind to 20 percent of the IPREM (Indicador Público de Renta de Efectos Múltiples), which is a statutory rate published by the government each year. If the sum of all a payee's earnings does not exceed 20 percent of the professional minimum salary, not all of the salary in kind contributes to the Social Security bases. Any earnings in excess of 20 percent of the IPREM contribute fully to the Social Security base. When a payee receives more than one earning that is considered salary in kind, you must calculate the individual excess for each earning in proportion to its value.
The different types of salary in kind earnings include housing loans with an interest rate below the legal interest rate, cars, insurance contributions, and contributions to pension plans, for example.
The withholdings for salary in kind can be paid by the employer (withholdings in kind not passed on) or by the employee (withholdings in kind passed on). If it is passed on, the withholding is discounted in the payroll for the employee as a tax deduction (deduction in kind). If it is not passed on, the employer will pay the deduction to the tax institution.
Note. The tax percentage to be applied over the nonexempted amount will be the same as the IRPF tax percentage.

Nonbasic earnings are contained in three sections:
GEN SE DEV VARBL:
Includes complements, such as nighttime complements, holiday complements, toxicity or hazard complements, overtime, profit participants complements, and incentive complements.
GEN SE DEV OTROS:
Includes dietas, overnight stay, mileage earnings and salary in kind.
AYP SE DEDUCCIONES:
Includes loans and advances.
All of these earnings are included in the payroll calculation (GEN PR CALC NOM) but not in the extra period calculation (XTR PR PAGA EXTRA) because they are not paid as part of an extra period processing.
Note. Basic earnings and various other complements are included in a section called GEN SE DEV BASICOS.

Understanding How to View Delivered Elements
There are certain delivered nonbasic earnings such as INCENTIVOS and PRTCPCN BEN that you can modify to accrue over more than one month to prevent the Social Security contributions for those earnings from surpassing the maximum ceiling during the payment month. This section provides an overview of this modification process and discusses how to view compensation accrued over more than one month.
To modify nonbasic earnings to accrue over more than one month:
Add the post process formula SS FM BSE CNTB F on the Calculation page for the earning.
Remove the contribution base accumulator (SS AC BSE M S) on the Accumulator page for the earning.
On the Rounding/Proration page, add the proration rule GEN PO DIAS SLICE to the earning.
On the Earnings Name page, select the Payee check box in the Override Levels group box for the earning. This enables you to assign the earnings to payees using the Element Assignment by Payee (GP_ED_PYE) or One Time (Positive Input) (GP_PI_MNL_ERNDED) component.
Add a unique value in Field 5 on the Element Name - Custom Fields page. This helps to differentiate nonbasic earnings that accrue over more than one month.
The variable CLI VR M PRORRATEO determines the number of months used to distribute the Social Security contributions for the earning. You set the value for this variable when you assign the associated earning using the Element Assignment by Payee or One Time (Positive Input) components.
Earnings Behavior
The assigned earning behaves differently in the case of segmentation depending on which component you use to assign it. If you use the Element Assignment by Payee component, the system calculates the earning in every slice or segment with a prorated value. The system calculates Social Security contributions according to each of these values. If you use the One Time (Positive Input) component, the system calculates the earning only once and does not prorate the value. The system calculates Social Security contributions based on that calculated value.
Compensation Process Flow
Regardless of the component you use to assign the modified earning, the process flow for compensation accrued in more than one month is the same. The payee receives the total amount of the assigned earning in the payment month. The system calculates the monthly portion of the earning applicable to contribution base calculation by dividing the total amount by the number of months entered (the entered value of CLI VR M PRORRATEO). The pending base is the total amount minus the calculated monthly portion. In subsequent months, the system retrieves the data for the previous month. The pending base retrieved from the previous month becomes the new total amount. The system then subtracts the monthly portion from the new total amount to calculate a new pending base for the next month.
The payroll results for compensation accrued over more than one month depend on two factors: process month and payee situation.
In the payment month, if the payee is sick, the pending base is the total amount minus the monthly base corresponding to contribution days (healthy days). The monthly contributing base corresponds to healthy days.
In subsequent months:
If the payee does not contribution in the process month, the system stores a row equal to the previous one with one less number of months and with a total amount equal to the pending amount from the previous month.
If the payee is sick, the pending base is the total amount minus the monthly base corresponding to contribution days (healthy and sick days). The monthly contributing base corresponds to healthy days.
When calculating the regulatory daily base (BRD), the system considers the Social Security base of the previous month or months in which the contributions of compensation accrued in more than one month as already included.
When element or period segmentation occurs, the system calculates the proportional part to contribute for each slice and segment. In addition, the system calculates the total pending base minus the monthly corresponding base, but it stores only the data in the last slice of the last segment.
In the case of a termination, the system uses the total pending amount at the time of termination to calculate the contribution base. The pending amount is equal to zero in subsequent months in the case of a rehire.
