Transportation Allowances

Payees living or working in Paris and the area around Paris (Région Parisienne) are entitled to special transportation allowances based on the number of zones they have to travel through on the way to work. There is no legal transportation allowance for people living and working outside the Paris area.

The transportation allowance for payees living and working in or around Paris is paid at 50 percent of the cost of a weekly, monthly, or annual travel ticket. Payees living outside Paris, but working within it, or living inside and working outside, are entitled to a reduced allowance, as are people living and working outside the city but travelling across it to get to work.

The amount is contained in an earning, CARTE ORANGE, and is triggered by earning or deduction assignment or by positive input. The calculation rule for this earning is Unit x Rate x Percent.

The number of tickets to reimburse is the unit and is entered at the payee level (you must override the unit with the number of tickets that you want to pay back).

The calculation of the allowance also requires information stored in three variables. You must define the values of these variables using supporting element overrides.

Variable	Description	How it is Used
IND VR CO NZ	Area number of the Carte Orange (allowance code)	Enter the area number in this variable using a supporting element override. If you do not enter this value as an override or enter the wrong value, the payment will be in error. The valid area values are contained in the bracket IND BR C ORANGE.
IND VR CO FA	Frequency of ticket purchase	IND VR CO FA is used to store the frequency of purchase of the transportation card. The possible values here are: S for a weekly transportation ticket and A for a yearly transportation ticket. If this variable is not populated, the system assumes, by default, that the purchase frequency is monthly. This variable is used to select the correct reimbursement amount. The bracket IND BR C ORANGE retrieves the amount (cost) of the weekly, monthly, and yearly transportation ticket. Note: The ticket cost depends on the frequency stored in IND VR CO FA and is returned by the bracket IND BR C ORANGE (the cost populates the rate component in the calculation rule of the earning CARTE ORANGE).
IND VR CO%	Reimbursement percentage (default rate)	The variable IND VR CO% stores the percentage used in the calculation rule of the earning CARTE ORANGE. By default, this percentage is equal to 50 percent. However, you can override this percentage by entering a supporting element override.
