Understanding Mass Termination and Complementary Termination Payroll

Global Payroll for Brazil provides the mass termination and complementary termination payroll functionality that simplifies the processing of termination and complementary termination pays for a group of employees in the event of a workforce reduction or layoff. The process includes a setup component in which you create an off cycle group for a pay group and pay period, specify the type of mass process (termination or complement) you wish to run with supporting information, and select the employees to be included in it. When the setup is completed, the system extracts the data from employees’ Job records and automatically inserts the information into the system as an off cycle on demand process. For complementary termination payments, it populates all the required variables and dummy positive inputs to ensure that the process runs properly. With the off cycle on demand process prepopulated, you can begin the process like any other off cycle processes you have in the system—create an off cycle request for the off cycle group, run the calculation and finalize the calculation payroll.

As mentioned previously, two types of mass processes are supported: Termination and Complement (additional payments that are paid outside of the normal payroll schedule). With complementary termination processing, you have the option to process mass salary increases as well. Depending on the process selected, the information collected in the setup is slightly different. Refer to the Payee Detail Page topic for more information on setting up the mass termination and complementary termination processing.
