Seniority and 2002

The entitlement used to calculate severance allowance changed in 2002. The previous seniority values were frozen at the end of 2001, so the formula containing payee classifications automatically switched to a new effective date and calculated the new entitlements when the changes were introduced.

The HR files do not tell you if a person is classified as a technician or a manager. The formula SIT FM CLASSIF AFB stores the value 0 if the payee is a technician and 1 if the payee is a manager.

Note:

The system used the formula SIT FM CLASSIF AFB until the end of 2001, and currently uses the formula for retro calculations. For calculating allowances in 2002 and onwards, the system does not use this formula.

You must maintain this formula, which needs to be populated so that it can retrieve a value for the payee's category. By default, the value in the formula is set to 0. This means that if the formula is not updated, it retrieves values for technicians only.
