Maintain Ret Allow Data JPN page

Field or Control

Definition

Effective Date

Enter the payee's retirement date.

Date of Death

This field appears only if the payee's date of death is entered on the Biographical Details page in Administer Workforce JPN. It is used with the Period End Date field.

Retirement by Disability

Select if the retirement is due to disability.

Retirement Income Report Submitted

Select if the payee submitted a Retirement Income report to your organization. If this check box is deselected, the system applies an income tax rate of 20 percent to the gross amount of the retirement allowance.

Submit to Tax Office

This check box is used when printing the Legal Payment Summary report. If selected, the payee's earnings and withholding tax are included in the figures that are reported as submitted to the tax office.

Years of Service

Field or Control

Definition

Period Begin Date

The system displays the payee's hire date or rehire date by default (as defined on the Job Information page). You can enter a different date.

Period End Date

The system displays the payee's termination date by default (as defined on the Job Information page). You can enter a different date.

If a date of death is displayed on this page for the payee, and that date matches the period end date, the system considers the retirement allowance as paid due to the payee's death and calculates income tax and inhabitant tax as zero. It also excludes the retirement allowance from the Retirement Allowance Withholding Tax Report.

Years of Service

The system calculates and displays the number of years of service based on the difference between the period begin date and period end date. You can manually enter a number in this field by using the Override check box.

Override

To manually enter the years of service, select this check box to make the Years of Service field editable.

Former Retirement Allowance Paid in Same Year

Complete the fields in this group box using the data that the employee reported on the Retirement Income report. The system references the data in these fields when it calculates taxes on the retirement allowance.

Other Retirement Allowance Paid in Last 5 Years

Complete the fields in this group box using the data that the employee reported on the Retirement Income report. The system references the data in these fields when it calculates taxes on the retirement allowance.

If an employee works in two different organizations simultaneously, retirement allowance deductions should be made for only one instance in the overlapping period.
