Inactive Segments

To process retroactivity in certain situations, Global Payroll for France triggers inactive segments in the current period. For example, this occurs in situations in which an employee changes company between the different segments recalculated.

Inactive segments have the following characteristics:

• No ceilings are calculated in inactive segments.

  Because the employee is not considered "present" in inactive segments, there is no ceiling calculation. The progressive regularization of contributions occurs normally for the segment with a gross increase, but there is no change in the annual ceiling amount.

• The different elements (variables, accumulators) storing the worked/paid days or hours are set to 0 in the inactive segment.

• The inactive segment is not considered in the calculation of seniority days (stored in the accumulator GEN AC JOUR ANC).

• No SMIC control occurs in inactive segments, as no paid hours can be calculated for these segments.

• The fiscal and social reinstatement calculation is triggered for inactive segments.

• Inactive segments are declared in the DADS-U. The begin and end dates of these segments are set to 1 January (01/01) as required by the norm.
