Remuneration Regulations page

You can assign different remuneration regulations for labor agreements for different employee categories. The mapping of the remuneration regulation is defined on the Employee Categorization page.

Retirement is based upon the remuneration regulation and service class group. To enter retirement information for a remuneration regulation, use the Job Group/Service Class Information page to define retirement ages. The minimum age and maximum age are stored by service class group. When you enter an action of RET (Retirement) in the worker’s Job Data, the system validates this information to ensure that the individual qualifies for retirement.

See Defining Employee Categories for Labor Agreements and Job Group/Service Class Information Page.

Use the Job Group/Service Classes page (GPS_JG_SC) to define job groups and service classes for your employees.
