Accumulators

Global Payroll for France uses the following rules to populate the GEN AC JOUR ANC, GEN AC JR ANC PRO, and GEN AC JOUR ANC LI accumulators.

Note:

The following example illustrates the rules for the GEN AC JOUR ANC accumulator, but the logic is the same for the other accumulators.

The GEN AC JOUR ANC accumulator has four members:

GEN AC JOUR CAL is added and retrieves the number of calendar days of the segment. This accumulator is populated in the pay process.
GEN AC ABSENCE is subtracted and retrieves the number of absence days of the segment. This accumulator is populated in the absence process and is used to deduct the seniority from the days of absence.
GEN AC ABS ASS LOI is added and retrieves the number of absence days of the segment counted as days worked by the law. This accumulator is populated in the absence process and is used to decrease the number of absence days when the law indicates that some specific absences are counted as days worked and do not then decrease the seniority.
GEN AC ABS ASS CC is added and retrieves the number of absence days of the segment counted as days worked by the collective agreement. This accumulator is populated in the absence process and is used to decrease the number of absence days when the collective agreement indicates that some specific absence is counted as days worked and does not then decrease the seniority. Of course, what is counted as days worked is exclusive between the law and the collective agreement.

Formulas

The accumulators populated by the absence process are updated by three formulas:

The GEN FM ABS CAL formula populates the GEN AC ABSENCE accumulator. This formula is processed in a day formula for all absences.
The GEN FM ABS ASS CAL formula populates the GEN AC ABS ASS LOI accumulator. This formula is processed in a day formula only for absences that are counted as days worked by law.
The GEN FM ABS ASS CC formula populates the GEN AC ABS ASS CC accumulator. This formula is processed in a day formula only for absences that are counted as days worked by the collective agreement.

Brackets

The formulas GEN FM ABS ASS CAL and GEN FM ABS ASS CC are triggered by the brackets ABS BR ANC-ABS LOI and ABS BR ANC-ABS CC.

ABS BR ANC-ABS LOI	Key: TAKE CONFIG2
Indicates how to process an absence for the seniority calculation. Values in the bracket result column: 1 means that the absence is considered to be effective work by law. 0 means the absence is considered to be an absence by law.	Return column: ABS BR ANC-ABS LOI

ABS BR ANC-ABS LOI

Key: TAKE CONFIG2

Indicates how to process an absence for the seniority calculation.

Values in the bracket result column:

1 means that the absence is considered to be effective work by law.

0 means the absence is considered to be an absence by law.

Return column:

ABS BR ANC-ABS LOI

TAKE CONFIG2	ABS BR ANC-ABS LOI
MAL	O
AT	1
ATRCH	0
MAT	1
ADOPT	0
THERP	0
EVF	0

ABS BR ANC-ABS CC	Keys: TAKE CONFIG2, COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT
Indicates how to process an absence when calculating seniority under a collective agreement. Values in the bracket result column: 1 means that the absence is considered to be effective work by the collective agreement. 0 means that the absence is considered to be an absence by the collective agreement. Values in the ABS VR J PAYES CC column result: 1 means the absence has to be paid to be treated as effective work by the collective agreement (the variable can only be equal to 1 if the bracket returns 1). 0 means the absence is considered to be an absence by the collective agreement.	Return columns: ABS BR ANC-ABS CC ABS VR J PAYES CC

ABS BR ANC-ABS CC

Keys: TAKE CONFIG2, COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT

Indicates how to process an absence when calculating seniority under a collective agreement.

Values in the bracket result column:

1 means that the absence is considered to be effective work by the collective agreement.

0 means that the absence is considered to be an absence by the collective agreement.

Values in the ABS VR J PAYES CC column result:

1 means the absence has to be paid to be treated as effective work by the collective agreement (the variable can only be equal to 1 if the bracket returns 1).

0 means the absence is considered to be an absence by the collective agreement.

Return columns:

Global Payroll for France uses the formula ABS FM ALIM AC ABS (applied to each absence take calculation) to trigger either the formula GEN FM ABS ASS CAL or the formula GEN FM ABS ASS CC based on the values returned by the brackets. For example, if the bracket ABS BR ANC-ABS LOI identifies an absence as an absence by law that should subtract from the number of seniority days, the formula ABS FM ALIM AC ABS triggers the formula GEN FM ABS ASS CAL.
