Deduction

Description

PENSION ALIM

This element is used to calculate a garnishment (deduction) defined as a percentage of a base (Base times Percent). The base is returned by the formula PA FM BASE PENSION, and the percentage is contained in the variable PA VR % PENSION 1.

The formula PA FM BASE PENSION returns the value of the garnishable base. It is calculated by subtracting the formula PA FM IMP PERC and the accumulator DED PENSION DI from the accumulator element PERC PENSION ALIM (PA FM BASE PENSION = PERC PENSION ALIM − PA FM IMP PERC − DED PENSION DI).

PERC PENSION ALIM: Accumulator storing garnishable earnings minus pretax deductions. (Pretax deductions are contained in the accumulator DED PENSION AI.)

PA FM IMP PERC: Formula that calculates the garnishment tax (a tax on the garnishment base stored in the accumulator PERC PENSION ALIM).

DED PENSION DI: Accumulator containing after tax deductions.

Note: In the delivered garnishment element PENSION ALIM, the percentage is a variable that can be changed as required, or it can be overridden at the payee level.

Note: You must select the elements that form the base of this garnishment by adding them to the accumulator PERC PENSION ALIM. In addition, add the taxable part of these elements to the accumulator BASE IMP PEN ALIM, which is used in the formula PA FM IMP PERC.

Note: To trigger this garnishment, you must define the garnishment (deduction) recipients. To define deduction recipients, define a recipient ID on the Deduction Recipients page in Set Up HCM > Product Related > Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt > Banking > Deduction Recipients. Then, assign the recipient ID to individual payees on the Assign Deduction Recipients page in Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Payee Data, Net Pay/Recipient Elections, Assign Deduction Recipients.

PENSION C FI

This element is used to calculate a garnishment with a calculation rule of Amount. The amount is assigned at the payee level.

PENSION NETO

This element is used to calculate a garnishment defined as a percentage of net pay—that is, a garnishment with a calculation rule of Base times Percent, in which the base is the net pay accumulator NETO. The percentage is contained in the variable PA VR % PENSION 2.

PENSION T − I

This element is used to calculate a garnishment defined as a percentage of Total Earnings − Taxes (that is, a garnishment with a calculation rule of Base times Percent). The base is calculated by the formula PA FM PENSION T-I (Total Earnings minus ISR Taxes minus IMSS Taxes, or TOTAL PERCEPCIONES − ISR RETENIDO − CUOTAS CYV − CUOTAS EYM). The percentage is contained in the variable PA VR % PENSION 3.

PENSION TOT

This element is used to calculated a garnishment defined as a percentage of total earnings—that is, a garnishment with a calculation rule of Base times Percent, in which the base is the total earnings accumulator TOTAL PERCEPCIONES. The percentage is contained in the variable PA VR % PENSION 4.
