Calculating Additional Earnings

Working under risky conditions can merit extra pay. Percentages may vary according to union and collective agreements. This table lists the allowance types and the formulas and elements used for each:

Type of Allowance Calculation Formula Elements Used

Additional Allowance for Hazardous Labor

Calculation Base * 0,30

The system calculates these earnings only for employees with hazard levels specified on the Payee Parameters page:

  • Generation Control FP GC PERICULOS

  • Dummy Earning PERIC MEN (Calculates and stores the monthly amount. This earning can be used in accumulators.)

  • Earning PERICULOSIDA (Used to make payments.)

  • Accumulator PERICULOSIDADE (Calculation base. This value can be prorated.)

    Accumulator ACUM PERICULOS (Defines the Calculation Base used to obtain the earnings PERIC MEN and PERICULOSIDA amount.)

Additional Allowance for Unhealthy Labor

Level 1: Minimum Wage * 0,10

Level 2: Minimum Wage * 0,20

Level 3: Minimum Wage * 0,40

The system calculates these earnings only for employees with unhealthy labor levels specified on the Payee Parameters page:

  • Generation control FP GC INSALUBR

  • Dummy earning INSALU MEN (Calculates and stores the monthly amount. This earning can be used in accumulators.)

  • Earning INSALUBRIDAD (Used to make payments. This value can be prorated.)

  • Variable FP VR MIN NAC (Used to store the national minimum wage.)

  • Bracket FP BR % INSALUB (Used to convert the Payee Parameter page to a percentage.)

Night Shift

Night Shift Hours * Hour Value * 0,20

Earning ADIC NOTURNO: (This is a Unit*Rate*Percent earning.)

  • The units should be entered through positive input.

  • The rate is defined by the hourly rate.

  • The percent is informed directly in the earning definition

Length of Service

Annual: Value of Annuity * Years Worked

Biennium: Value of Biennial * (Years Worked/2)

Quinquennium: Value of Quinquennium * (Years Worked/5)

Length of service can be calculated in many ways. This payment is optional. The PeopleSoft template includes a quinquennium example.

  • Dummy earning QUINQUEN MEN (Calculates and stores the monthly amount. This earning can be used in accumulators.)

  • Earning QUINQUENIO (Used for payments. This value can be prorated.)

  • Formula FP FM QUINQUENIO (Used to obtain the units to be paid. The formula divides the length of service duration element (FP DR TEMPO SERV) by 5.)

  • Bracket FP BR QUINQUENIO (Used to obtain the percent in the variable FP VR 5 QUINQUENIO according to the Union Code on the Job Data table.)

Transfer

Calculation Base * Percentage of Transfer

Earning ADIC TRANSF (This is a Base*Percent earning that applies 25% over the accumulator ACUM AD TRANSF.)

Standby Employee

Paid on a percentage basis.

Earning SOBREAVISO (This is a Unit*Rate*Percent earning that receives the units through positive input. The system uses the variable FP VR PCT SOBREAV to apply an hourly rate to the payment 0.)
