Elements Used to Define Professionalization Contract Rules

This section discusses:

  • Delivered elements for minimum wage (SMIC) controls.

  • Delivered elements to limit benefits in kind.

  • Delivered elements to generate age limit warnings.

  • Delivered elements to prevent overextension of the professionalization contract.

Delivered Elements for Minimum Wage (SMIC) Controls

The percentage of the minimum wage (SMIC) that a payee is entitled to receive varies by age and educational level.

PeopleSoft delivers the bracket GEN BR SMIC PROF to return the applicable SMIC percentage based on age.

PeopleSoft delivers the bracket GEN BR NIVEAU ETUD to return an additional SMIC percentage based on educational level.

Note:

You should review the information in this bracket and, if necessary, modify the additional SMIC percentage based on educational level to reflect the rules in effect in your organization.

The system adds the percentages returned by these brackets to calculate the minimum percentage that the payee should receive.

See Brackets for Professionalization Contract Minimum Wage (SMIC) Controls.

Delivered Elements to Limit Benefits in Kind

PeopleSoft delivers a variable—IND VR AN COEF—to store the maximum percentage of a payee's compensation that can be comprised of benefits in kind. The value of this variable is set to .75 by the formula APP FM INIT for all payees with a professionalization contract.

PeopleSoft uses the formula APP FM BASE to put payments in error when the percentage of a payee's compensation consisting of payments in kind exceeds 75%. It does this by adding all payments in kind, and then dividing the resulting sum by all payments in kind plus any monetary compensation stored in the accumulator APP AC SAL ESP SG. If the resulting quotient is greater than .75, the formula puts the payment in error.

Delivered Elements to Generate Age Limit Warnings

PeopleSoft uses the formula APP FM INIT to generate a warning message when a payee 26 years of age or older and less than age 45 has been granted a professionalization contract. This message appears in the Payee Messages component.

Delivered Elements to Prevent Overextension of the Professionalization Contract

PeopleSoft delivers the formula GEN FM DT FIN PROF to prevent the conditions of the professionalization period from extending beyond the contract end date. This formula compares the value of the system element CONTRACT EX END DT — which contains the expected contract end date from the Contract Status/Content page — to the current date. If the two dates are not equal, and the segment end date for the calculation period is greater than the expected contract end date, the formula assigns a value of 1 (true) to the variable GEN VR FIN CT PROF. Otherwise, the value of the variable is 0 (false).

The value of this variable (GEN VR FIN CT PROF) is then "read" by a second formula, APP FM INIT. This formula determines if the variable is equal to 1 (true). If so, it generates a warning message that the professionalization contract should be terminated.

Important:

By default, the value of the system element CONTRACT EX END DT is the same as the expected end date specified on the Contract Status/Content page. If the end date on Contract Status/Content page is incorrect, you can override the value of the system element with the correct end date. To do this, enter positive input at the payee level.
