Absences Parameters

Field or Control	Description
Subsidy Base	Select the subsidy base for disabilities. Values are Daily Salary, SDI, SDI Complement, and Without Subsidy. Your company can subsidize the difference between what IMSS pays employees and what their regular earnings are. The three most common methods are SDI, SDI Complement, and daily salary. For the SDI method, the company pays 100 percent of the SDI for the first three days of the disability and 40 percent of SDI from the fourth day on. This 40 percent will be capped up to the SDI. For the SDI Complement method, the 40 percent will be capped up to the difference between the 60 percent of SDI and the 100 percent of the daily rate. For the daily salary method, the company pays 100 percent of the daily salary for the first three days. From the fourth day on, the company pays the difference between the daily salary and what IMSS pays (usually 60 percent of SDI) capped up to the daily rate.
Days without Subsidy	Enter the number of days without a disability subsidy. Because the IMSS does not pay for the first three days of a disability, some companies pay for those days to cover the difference.
Factor	Select the factor for general absences. Values are 6th & 7th Day Factor, 7th Day Factor, Other, and Without Factor. For example, if an employee works Monday through Friday and is absent only one day, the employee receives a discount for the sixth and seventh days. Enter the amount of the factor in the field next to theFactor field. The absence is deducted using this factor. For example, if you select Without Factor, the amount equals 100 MXN. If you select 6th & 7th Day Factor, the amount equals 140 MXN. If you select 7th Day Factor, the amount equals 116.67 MXN.
IMSS Agreement	Select if your company has an agreement with IMSS to calculate disability subsidies. If you have an agreement with IMSS, your company pays the employee directly, and IMSS pays the subsidy to the company instead of the employee. This parameter will cause the earning SUB ENF CONV to appear instead of the other two subsidy earnings (SUB ENF 40% and SUB ENF 100%). This subsidy will be the same as paying employees their regular salary earnings.
Xmas Bonus Deduct Absences	Select this check box to have the payroll process deduct employee absences from the Christmas bonus payment calculation for payees in the specified pay group. The system inserts a row with the variable AG VR APLICA AUS and numeric value equal to 1 in the grid on the Pay Groups - Supporting Element Overrides page for the specified pay group. Deselect this check box to exclude employee absences from the Christmas bonus payment calculation. The system changes the numeric value of the variable to 0. By default this check box is deselected.
