Overriding BRDs and Relapse Days for Absence Events

PeopleSoft Global Payroll for Spain enables you to override daily benefits base (Base Reguladora Diaria) (BRD) and relapse days for a specific social security absence event.

Companies must report absences events to Social Security through the mandatory FDI report. As part of this communication, companies must include values for contribution days, common contingencies base and, if applicable, contribution overtime. You can have absence event processing automatically determine these three values when calculating the BRD, or you can manually enter or override values on the FDI Additional Data page of the Absence Event ESP component. You might need to enter values for a BRD, for example, in cases in which you have an employee with a temporary disability that is a relapse of a previous one for which you do not have a value in the system.

Before performing the BRD calculation, the absence processing analyzes whether a value is in the Common Contingencies Base field on the FDI Additional Data page. If no value is in the field, the absence processing calculates the BRD and determines these data values. However, if an existing value is in this field, the absence processing does not perform the BRD calculation because the primary value that it needs to calculate already exists.
