Brackets for Specific Contracts

This section discusses:

  • Brackets for professionalization contract minimum wage (SMIC) controls.

  • Bracket for specific contract compensation scale.

  • Bracket for specific contract contribution bases.

The bracket GEN BR SMIC PROF returns the applicable SMIC percentage based on age. The payee's age is contained in the element GEN DR AGE ANNEES, which functions as the search key.

The bracket GEN BR NIVEAU ETUD returns an additional SMIC percentage based on educational level. The payee's educational level is contained in the system element HI EDUC LV, which functions as the search key.

Global Payroll uses the formula APP FM INIT to add the two percentages returned by these brackets to calculate the minimum SMIC percentage due to the payee. For example, if the percentage returned by the bracket GEN BR SMIC PROF is 55%, and the percentage returned by the bracket GEN BR NIVEAU ETUD is 10%, the formula calculates a minimum compensation level of 65% of SMIC.

Note: You should review the information in this bracket and, if necessary, modify the additional SMIC percentage based on educational level to reflect the rules in effect in your organization.

The bracket APP BR REMUN returns values for the specific contract compensation scale. It returns values for the apprenticeship contract and also for the qualification and orientation contract. The keys for this bracket are CONTRACT TYPE and APP VR ANNEE CONT, and the return column is APP BR REMUN. The variables APP VR REM-21 and APP VR REM+21 are populated based on the key as follows:

  • The bracket APP BR REMUN retrieves the percentage for payees under 18 years old.

  • The variable APP VR REM-21 retrieves the percentage for payees between 18 and 21 years old.

  • The variable APP VR REMP+21 retrieves the percentage for payees over 21 years old.

It's important that you understand the definition of this bracket because PeopleSoft delivers, but does not maintain, this bracket. You must maintain this bracket to ensure that your setup functions properly.

The bracket APP BR BASE returns values for specific contract wages contribution bases. The key for this bracket is APP VR % BASE, and the return column is APP BR BASE. The variable APP VR BASE EUR is populated based on the key.

It's important that you understand the definition of this bracket because PeopleSoft delivers, but does not maintain, the bracket. You must maintain this bracket to ensure that your setup functions properly.

Note: The bracket APP BR BASE retrieves the lump sum funding base in euros.

The value returned by the bracket APP BR REMUN is used to determine if the minimum salary is correctly applied to the apprentice. This value is also used as the funding base for all the contributions paid. This value is calculated for a payee who is present for the entire month. The apprentice funding base is prorated depending on the number of days present during the period and depending on the paid hours of the payee.

If you don't want to apply this last proration or if you want to apply a different proration, modify the formula APP FM PRORAT BASE (defined as Customer Maintained) that is used to prorate the apprentice funding base following the number of paid hours.
