DSR Compensated Saturday and Indemnities Earnings

Global Payroll for Brazil provides the ability to process compensated Saturday and indemnified DSR payments using two new earnings:

  • DSR SAB COM (compensated Saturday).

    This earning pays an extra day of salary if the termination occurs on a Friday, and that Saturday is considered a compensation day in the employee’s work schedule.

  • DSR INDENIZ (indemnified DSR).

    This earning pays an extra day of salary for the weekly rest day that is granted to the employee after a whole week of work (Monday through Friday or Saturday).

To set up DSR SAB COM and DSR INDENIZ for payroll:

  1. Add DSR SAB COM and DSR INDENIZ to the corresponding termination versions on the Earnings/Deductions Page.

  2. Update bracket RC BR DSR ABS TYPE (Absences' Types for indem DSR) on the Bracket Data page to specify absence types that are considered not worked and therefore should not be considered for DSR SAB COM and DSR INDENIZ payments. List the absence types and specify 1 as the return value (which stands for true).

    Update bracket FP BR DIA COMPENS (Compensated day-off) on the Bracket Data page to include compensated Saturday, so that DSR SAB COM and DSR INDENIZ payments can be processed accordingly. Add KR SABCOM and specify 1 as the return value.

  3. Add DSR SAB COM and DSR INDENIZ to the corresponding accumulators on the PeopleSoft Global Payroll: Members Page.

  4. Add DSR SAB COM and DSR INDENIZ to the corresponding element group on the PeopleSoft Global Payroll: Element Group Name Page.

    As delivered, these earnings are included in the KR EG RESCISA element group. If you use a different element group, add the earnings to it.

  5. Add DSR SAB COM and DSR INDENIZ to the corresponding section on the PeopleSoft Global Payroll: Definition Page.

    As delivered, these earnings are included in the KR RESCISAO PROV section. If you use a different section, add the earnings to it.

Methods to Calculate DSR SAB COM and DSR INDENIZ Earnings

Two variables are present that can be overridden at many levels to indicate if DSR SAB COM and DSR INDENIZ are to be calculated:

  • RC VR CONTA SAB

    • 10 - Pay Saturday (default value)

    • 20 - Do not pay Saturday

  • RC VR SET DSR

    • 10 - Pay DSR when termination is on Friday (default value)

    • 20 - Do not pay DSR

By default, these variables are set to process DSR payments. However, if these earnings are not included in the corresponding termination version, they are not going to be calculated.
